Some kind of indicator for hitting the enemy would've been helpful, but I got used to things pretty quickly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only real technical issue I ran into was that I had to run the game maximized because of how easy it was to have the cursor leave the window while aiming otherwise.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cool world and style.
