Indicating everything through colors(your life, enemy life, etc) works perfectly well.\r\rNothing much to say, well done sir! ^^"},{"author_name":"StrayByte","author_uid":"49933","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:07am","epoch":1429578120,"text":"Great game! Runs smoothly and it's quite fun and engaging.\rI'll point out what is good and what is bad in my opinion:\rGood:\r- two types of enemies, well different one from the other.\r- Clear interface, points towards objective straight and clear.\r- The mechanic is clever, i like having to micromanage.\r\rBad:\r-It's still a gun. It uses blood ammo, but i feel like it's just another rifle.\r-It's not clear if killing aliens has any impact. You might have wanted to put win conditions clear on the screen, if there's any.\r- Really aseptic. It has no kind of personification, no immersion at all. \r\rOverall i really liked your game although i don't feel it is really on spot with the theme of the contest.\rOverall I rated it 3\/5 because of the entertainment value and the smoothness."},{"author_name":"mantisda","author_uid":"35572","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:18am","epoch":1429578780,"text":"This is a great one.

So that looks anti-human and aggressive.\r\rThe way the colour and concept tied together in everything is brilliant! having the blood drained out of you provided a very strong visualisation of the concept, and picking up the chunks to fill you back up, everything, was great.

I was running around for quite a while and feeling like it was not that hard of a game. Felt like I had missed something. The civilians. The do need a lot of that blood. Never got past saving two of them. But I'm pretty sure they don't deserve saving since they are so sloppy at maintaining their own blood.\r\rHere's an odd suggestion, odd in that it would make it harder. If the towers were slowly rotating. Now they are kind of safe. It would have been fun to know how many civilians one failed to save too.\r\rGraphics as usual. Stunning.
