I've seen a couple of entries play around with selecting the 'correct' weapon I think it's a neat approach. There's kind of a frantic-ness to it. I think it would be neat if all of the enemies etc were symbols as opposed to text but I presume that was probably part of the plan.\r\rIt took me a moment to realize that there was an ammo system and I couldn't quite work out how the multipliers worked either, but it's an interesting start!
