It's quite hard to aim at targets when the slightest twitch moves your crosshairs several metres away! But other than that it's got great aesthetics, the keyboard controls are very well done, and it sounds really good now it's updated to 0.1b!"},{"author_name":"Arowx","author_uid":"680","time":"Apr 28, 2013 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1367167680,"text":"I've got my mouse on max sensitivity so try upping it for the game that should help."},{"author_name":"hughsk","author_uid":"21035","time":"Apr 28, 2013 @ 6:10pm","epoch":1367172300,"text":"Just a heads up: Macs have pretty sensitive mice, making the game really hard to control - looks interesting though! :)"},{"author_name":"Arowx","author_uid":"680","time":"Apr 28, 2013 @ 6:48pm","epoch":1367174580,"text":"OK New version turn sensitivity reduced 50% still plays OK for me.

I liked the exploring dark weightless corridors looking for enemies, and the lighting was a really great touch, as were the bullet effects and enemy death animations. My main criticism for the game is that it's occasionally difficult to search the whole level for the last five enemies, although the lights really help that by letting you see which rooms you've been in. It would be nice if the lights didn't alternate states with every bullet, however. Also, the player looks kind of off. It is just a triangle always facing the camera in the 3D world."},{"author_name":"Arowx","author_uid":"680","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:47pm","epoch":1367275320,"text":"Cheers OK So post LD update with, Ambient music, Light switch locking, End level find the enemy problem resolved, xbox controller, also going to add strafe up\/down keys."},{"author_name":"Korda","author_uid":"14993","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:19am","epoch":1367284440,"text":"Nice!
