It is needed, it is done, and it is well done.\r<br\/>- Retro style. Pretty eye agressive but the consistancy is really appreciated.\r<br\/>- Roguelike gameplay. &quot;Ok let's try again ! =D&quot;\r<br\/>- Leaderboard. Definitely help the challenge !\r<br\/>\r<br\/>What imo could be improved :\r<br\/>- Graphics. Even with a retro style, it can be improved. The biggest problem I saw is I had trouble distinguish some enemies  so I couldn't prepare their behaviour except for the &quot;2 actions points&quot; (which is a great predictable enemy that need actual tactics).\r<br\/>- Sounds. The voice is not easy to understand and only the intro was subtitled. For the tutorial it was barely enough understandable.\r<br\/>- Enemy doing spawnshots in some levels. Getting free shots when you have only one possible move is really frustrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had a real pleasure playing your game, thanks a lot =)"},{"author_name":"WetDesertRock","author_uid":"30221","time":"Sep 11, 2014 @ 2:34am","epoch":1410402540,"text":"I'm sorry, I couldn't stand the &quot;voice-acting&quot;, if you wanted to get a roboty voice, record yourself and then apply a ring mod."},{"author_name":"apiotrw","author_uid":"30650","time":"Sep 13, 2014 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1410621960,"text":"Awesome gameplay"}],"images":["ld30\/4232-ed95d8cefee6358cf7059bfc38882521.jpg","ld30\/4232-0f545e901074d2fe78781dfc5639c646.jpg","ld30\/4232-090212964ec4c140d2406198759349f2.jpg","ld30\/4232-da85ed89d2e16ffa87f566821257c799.jpg","ld30\/4232-1ecb3deb53aa6f8c74e715f99360038a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10283425\/LD30\/AnnexKharon%5Bwin%5D.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10283425\/LD30\/AnnexKharon%5Bosx%5D.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10283425\/LD30\/AnnexKharonLinux.love","text":"Linux\/Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/headchant.itch.io\/annex-kharom","text":"Post-Compo"},{"url":"http:\/\/headchant.com\/annex\/","text":"Leaderboard"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"16263","g_author":"4232","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"16293","g_title":"Annex Kharon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"25","g_commentcount":"45","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/4232-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/4232-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/4232-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/4232-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/4232-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Annex Kharon got lost in the STYX-Sector.
