I was a little confused by the controls (not the controls themselves, but more specifically what the weapons were doing). I had a cannon and a katana, but all that seemed to happen was I would drop little dots that acted like land mines. \r\rNow that said, you did get a working game made, which is an awesome achievement, and perhaps just some terminology changes in the game would have made this make a bit more sense (which you did kinda address in the description). It's also really cool that you put the whole thing together from scratch rather than use an engine or a lot of prebuilt stuff."},{"author_name":"7heSAMA","author_uid":"6811","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 6:12pm","epoch":1398967620,"text":"Makai: The weapons, release space to charge with your Katana, hold space to charge up your cannon and then you use that till you run out of power.
