I can't express how much I love that the gun the dealt the killing blow does a little victory dance.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only real issue was that there's not an obvious relationship between the direction you're facing and the direction your pipe will be oriented.  Sometimes you can tell where you should put the pipe, but it might take a moment to figure out which direction to face to get it in that position."},{"author_name":"pythong","author_uid":"717","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:16am","epoch":1429506660,"text":"great entry! this game makes really good use of the theme"},{"author_name":"Yaroslav Kravtsov","author_uid":"44195","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:18am","epoch":1429506780,"text":"Newish mechanics.

Having to focus of lining up the character right and hitting the correct key last so I was facing the proper way was was kinda tricky. Having the facing direction and movement be independent may feel better (for me at least). Overall I really liked it and think it could be a really cool game if expanded on!"},{"author_name":"thedarknightdu78","author_uid":"52745","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:22am","epoch":1429507020,"text":"This is really cool.

Absolutely brilliant concept. It was just... really frustrating. If I'm walking around with a pipe, the direction I'm walking in doesn't affect how I hold the pipe. I can hold it any direction I want as I walk in any direction. I'd suggest if you take this further, add a 'flip orientation' button or some other control scheme to give the player direct control over the pipe, separate from their movement, so that they feel like dying is their own fault instead of the character deciding to hold the pipe the wrong way."},{"author_name":"OrangeSpikyGames","author_uid":"50508","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 12:04am","epoch":1429919940,"text":"Wow, I really enojoyed this mechanic.
