I liked the part where you collect artifacts to advance. Although they weren't easily found but it was fun collecting them. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>As mentioned it got a bit repetitive after the third mission. Also something else I found another thing where the text trails off to the right of the game window and I can't see what is written. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall it was a nice premise and I felt if you had time to polish it, could have gone to be something better. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work :)"},{"author_name":"McFood","author_uid":"40120","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 9:40pm","epoch":1409002500,"text":"I really enjoyed firing so many bullets and ploughing through enemies. As others have said, the levels seem a bit too big given that the gameplay remains relatively constant.\r<br\/>Maybe a hint of where to go, or a gameplay twist (power ups or bosses maybe) would keep it fresh.\r<br\/>Fun game, congratulations on your first entry!"},{"author_name":"AtomicVikings","author_uid":"25123","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1409092800,"text":"Great job on your first ludum dare, we welcome you!\r<br\/>Add some sounds and an awesome upbeat backing track and your game would be even more awesome!"},{"author_name":"Lvyn","author_uid":"39221","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 11:05pm","epoch":1409180400,"text":"Enjoyed these slug creatures :D You should have included a salt gun ;)\r<br\/>It needs some polish but did not find bugs.\r<br\/>I wish there were sounds, but nice game :)"},{"author_name":"Crefossus","author_uid":"23130","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 11:41am","epoch":1409312160,"text":"The spacing of the font for the story made it a bit hard to read. Sfx\/audio could really help. It gets a little repetitive, but the first level was decently fun. Maybe if you had some other mechanics in the level to mix up recovering the artifact like a boss or gate\/button etc. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the fadeout and win screen for each level and feel of the machine gun although I would love to be able to shoot in all directions maybe like a twin stick shooter (or wasd + mouse)."},{"author_name":"JTGaming2012","author_uid":"36568","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 11:43am","epoch":1409312280,"text":"I think it looks very unfinished.
