Only switching that could be confusing, though, because the mouse button would shoot with a different thing. But now that I think, it would be possible to make the game mouse-only simply by using right and left mouse buttons. For example, microwave still on left mouse button and the cannon on right button. I don't know if it makes easier to misclick, though. Might need testing."},{"author_name":"g12345","author_uid":"63136","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 9:30pm","epoch":1461187500,"text":"Looks great, fun too.\r\rThe only problem i have is that they dont seem to pop, even if i frantically hit the mouse button.\r\rStill, a small interesting little game."},{"author_name":"Tegu","author_uid":"27252","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 10:16pm","epoch":1461276660,"text":"g12345: Oh, I should have mentioned that you have to hold the mouse button to cook popcorns.

First I tried to shoot up into the air and hope that randomness will split all the popcorn among the plants but this was inefficient. So I ended up just shooting directly into the plants. It was fun and quite challenging at the same time. Maybe you could increase difficulty slightly over the time :). Good job."},{"author_name":"Tegu","author_uid":"27252","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 6:27pm","epoch":1462126920,"text":"Billiogadar: The difficulty actually does increase over time but maybe too slightly. :) It's just linear with quite a low coefficient. I didn't really have time to balance it. Or, to be honest, I'm not really sure what would be a reasonable way to increase difficulty. It shouldn't be too quick but probably not too slow either (like now).
