The graphics are well done and the music fits the theme. However, I don't really like the reload mechanic, I understand why, you need to give the player a reason to not shoot, but this is not the right solution for this game I feel. Also, the best (game breaking) strategy is to stay at the fire and let the elves bring the packets to you. You have no reason to pick them up yourself."},{"author_name":"Yrasin","author_uid":"47223","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 1:05pm","epoch":1418043600,"text":"Fun game! Not very challenging tho.
