More use of gravity =) Good job."},{"author_name":"Super Hamster","author_uid":"22460","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:57am","epoch":1429591920,"text":"I liked the idea(I made a very similar but slightly different game in my previous LD) and the gameplay seems nice. Unfortunately I did not have a companion to play with so couldn't test it out for real. However I think I can still understand the overall gameplay. The controls felt awkward at first but I got used to them. Also I'm not sure how challenging this game is because you can kind of go in circles and avoid bullets because they do not move very quickly. Anyways, overall I thought the game was pretty cool. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"18490","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:26am","epoch":1429597260,"text":"Gravity as weapon is funny!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Why are the controls in such uncomfortable places?

It's a physics based, local multiplayer shooter where your only weapon is a gun that fires a gravity well.  Try to throw your friends inescapably into one of the 4 randomly generated planets in the play area.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nArrow keys+Space and WASD+Shift\r\n\r\nTo fire the gravity well you hold the fire key and when the bullet reaches you point you would like to spawn the gravity well release the fire key.\r\n\r\nWe had a really amazing time making this, it was a truly incredible experience.","title":"Duke Newton"}
