It felt a little like a first-person perspective of a top-down arcade game, where the player has limited movement and viewing directions.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The movement required some getting used to, but it did turn the game from an otherwise trivial FPS into a non-trivial challenge."},{"author_name":"Jens Nolte","author_uid":"12770","time":"May 8, 2014 @ 1:07pm","epoch":1399554120,"text":"Update note:\r<br\/>There was a horrible bug in the engine which forced us to completely disable lights\/shading in the 1.0 version.

Pressing the shoulder buttons at the same time as the left stick didn't react as expected. Other than that, nice game with cool graphics.
