The special felt a little weak, I think because the enemies have such high health that even when I hit all enemies on the screen, it didn't feel like I did much. When I went to the middle after a floor dropped, my character seemed to have the same visual feedback as when I got hurt, so I couldn't tell if I was taking damage when I thought I was in the correct spot. The movement felt nice with the acceleration\/deceleration on the character. One thing you could do to really crank things up a notch would be additional feedback on enemy hits to give me a better idea of how I was progressing in killing one of them. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"Noah Ratcliff","author_uid":"18011","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:18am","epoch":1418173980,"text":"Controls felt nice, however I found ESDF vs WASD kind of offputting."},{"author_name":"PixelCrust","author_uid":"45199","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 12:05pm","epoch":1418212800,"text":"Neat game and graphics :)\r<br\/>(BTW I think the web link is not working)"},{"author_name":"thopis","author_uid":"46642","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1418404440,"text":"I'll be playing it in the future!That says much i think.Great!"},{"author_name":"abdurrahmankh","author_uid":"21364","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 9:56pm","epoch":1418507460,"text":"I didn't like the controls with esdf. the game reminded me of Binding of Isaac, which is a great game that lacks interesting fighting mechanics. so mechanically speaking; I did not find the game very enjoyable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>also restarting the game from the beginning is frustrating, I died at level 4 and I am not willing to restart it. I think a check point will go with this game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>if the game had some more drops and weapons I think it would be much more fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can give you more stars for theme and Audio- Graphics though, this is a well done game, no bugs, no flaws (at least from my point of view) so this is really a good job over all, most games here gives the &quot;unfinished&quot; feeling."},{"author_name":"raxter","author_uid":"14272","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 9:27am","epoch":1418548920,"text":"Lovely use of screen shake and little touches here and there!
