The simple mechanic of having to wait a moment to attach to the hydrant also made for some scary moments; several times, because I didn't attach all the way (frantic running ensued). It also made for additional satisfaction attaching to a hydrant and completely obliterating the closing horde. I kind of and kind of don't wish I could point the hose down and up, it added difficulty but... bah I don't know.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did, however get a game crashing bug, and I was able to reproduce it. The error occurs when you are attached to a hydrant and hold S to spray and try to detach using A at the same time. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nevertheless, cool idea, and satisfying execution. MAKE MORE!"},{"author_name":"ripatti","author_uid":"15853","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:42am","epoch":1429601820,"text":"popcorn897, thank you for the bug, it's fixed now."},{"author_name":"chikun Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 3:52pm","epoch":1429717620,"text":"You make games that look like they came from a 90s DOS shareware CD.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Your screenshots look like they were taken on a Windows 95 operating system.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I find these things really endearing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not joking."},{"author_name":"Bashabookoos","author_uid":"51002","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 3:56pm","epoch":1429717860,"text":"The game wont play for me.
