I'd like a lot more in the way of player feedback (sound, animation, vibration, etc.) just to keep me engaged. Cycling colour schemes between puzzles also would have helped keep things fresh."},{"author_name":"ianburnette","author_uid":"44075","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 12:59am","epoch":1429750440,"text":"I agree that it was tricky to figure out how to play at first, but it's a cool mechanic that I've not seen anywhere else."},{"author_name":"ohsqueezy","author_uid":"10718","time":"May 11, 2015 @ 2:22am","epoch":1431310620,"text":"I made it to the last level even though I keep getting the bug.

You must shoot the switch (which look like magneto's helmet) of a level to get to the next. In the last level, both brain must be shoot at the same time.\r\n\r\nThe game was made by three amateur game maker in about 13 hour of work. Moreover, we switch roles compared to our usual setup, so don't be too harsh.\r\n\r\nThere is bug which sometimes make a level to not work (objects don't move). Until we fix it, the only roundabout is to reload the game.","title":"Backfire"}
