Agree with the combo multiplier comment, perhaps some screenshake. Neat. :D"},{"author_name":"rzuf","author_uid":"1349","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:40pm","epoch":1418139300,"text":"Like the visuals very much, but it needs mode juicyness!

Never felt like any of the adventurers were much of a threat and I could pretty much run them over. Screenshake would indeed make this more satisfying, as well as some other pickups like the adventurers' loot that could be spent on traps and such, and maybe giving the player a bit less health. Also, ditch the Papyrus font in the menus. It's like the Comic Sans of fancy fonts."},{"author_name":"DiegoMustache","author_uid":"45014","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:14pm","epoch":1418141340,"text":"Solid, but as others have said, more feedback from high numbers of kills would be good. Also, Clicking once doesn't make you shoot once (sometimes you shoot twice, sometimes not at all) which confused me for a bit until I realized you just hold the mouse down."},{"author_name":"Windmill Games","author_uid":"39002","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1418141820,"text":"@DiegoMustache The shooting part sounds odd, are you sure that it is not your mouse that is acting up?

Controls were perfectly simple for this type of game, graphics were great, and audio set the mood well.
