Oh, ok bye.

It took me all of about 20 seconds of playtime to come to conclusion that this game is absolutely fantastic.

Simple but it works. Animation and concept is fun.
Your preloader doesn't appear soon enough though. I think all of your classes are set to export on the same frame as your preloader (frame 1). Add another frame to the scene that the preloader is in, then go to File>Publish Settings>Actionscript Settings (a wrench icon)>set export classes in frame:1 to export classes in frame: 2. This way the frame with the preloader will load and display itself much earlier.
Hope it helps, good luck.

The game is a bit simple but everything runs smoothly. The parallax effect of the stars in the background is a nice touch.

Late by about... 5 years, but this is an awesome song. Can I use it in a game I'm making.
