The movement is kind of weird be cause your mouse not only aims, but changes the orientation of the player making it sometimes difficult to move around.

Nice use of the theme, too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Having a few sound effects (like one for each of the types of shot, one for hitting an enemy and another for an enemy hitting you) would have helped the immersion a lot, but a solid entry all the same."},{"author_name":"Red_Fan games","author_uid":"47563","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 11:04pm","epoch":1429829940,"text":"Linux please :\/"},{"author_name":"yackeroeni","author_uid":"50441","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 7:16pm","epoch":1429989060,"text":"Decent enough, but feels like you were mostly interested in figuring out UE4.
