Having a computer controlled opponent would have made the game easier to test. Bonus points for wackiness. :) Definitely not the worst game I've played today."},{"author_name":"Claire1605","author_uid":"33844","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1429535880,"text":"Thanks for the feedback so far :) The 3-hit point system is a pretty cool idea, if we work on it further I'll definitely put that in - we were both a little rushed for time with other commitments so there's a lot more we would have liked to have added! I agree that the joystick controls are far superior to the keyboard as well, glad you've been enjoying it so far though!"},{"author_name":"F.
