I was impressed on how good the execution was, Trying to get the bullets to hit the enemys was really fun. Also, the atmoshpere was well achived and overall the game looks really polished. My only concern was on how short the game was, I would have like a few more level, but still the game was super fun and I hope you get far with this entry. Good Luck!"},{"author_name":"wesley.laferriere","author_uid":"39939","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:40am","epoch":1429580100,"text":"Stunning graphics, fitting sound, and awesome gameplay. 9\/10."},{"author_name":"srakowski","author_uid":"26664","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:41am","epoch":1429580160,"text":"The bullets looked a little bit like mice running around after they shot through the wall lol.

I will definetely build a post-jam version with a longer "campaign" and some tweaks (plus we are getting a custom soundtrack!)"},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:25am","epoch":1429582800,"text":"I take it there are only three levels?
