RE: [pygame] Frantic 0.9.7a

Hi Dave,

Just tried your game. It is pretty good. Had me playing for an hour or so, so 
quite addictive. I agree with you that the music is superb. It has the right 
tempo and feel to have you on the edge of your seat while they come at you 
from all sides. I also like the variety of 'baddies' that you have. In 
particular the blue warping ones are a nightmare.

The only thing that I feel lets the game down is the power of the upgrades. An 
upgrade should allow you to kill more of the enemy, but the laser blast seems 
to miss them completely. I have been killed a couple of times while firing 
desperately at a red ufo that just meanders through all my blasts somehow and 
collides with me.

In saying that, I have used the red power up to some great effect.

Anyway, just my ha'penny's worth.

Regards,
Rob
