This is an amazing idea.\rAs a designer, I was at first really "meh" by the graphics... let's face it! They are really "basic". But fortunately I decided to open the link and try the game... And I found wonderful ideas, innovative gameplay (the GUN level is my favorite) and funny mechanics.\r\rEveryone should give this game a try. Good job. Thumbs up!"},{"author_name":"dydx","author_uid":"38961","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 1:21am","epoch":1429665360,"text":"Really clever game. I'm on a phone right now so I appreciate the touch controls too.

It was much faster in an earlier iteration when the bad guys were squares instead of texts. Perhaps I could speed up loading if I cached the text graphics as images???
