Good implementation aswell. A bit tough, but this is expected as it's a survival game. The only problem is the bonuses can only be used once or twice in a game and that number should be higher imo, even if they have to be tweaked to be less effective."},{"author_name":"Jeremias","author_uid":"7211","time":"Dec 23, 2012 @ 5:36pm","epoch":1356283860,"text":"Hard but lovely game. The tutorial was good, but as the people start to running during the tutorial, I started to read in a hectic pace. You should make sure that the player doesn't feel under pressure while reading the tutorial.\rSometimes there is something wrong with the z-indices of your sprites. People in the back are drawn in front of others etc..
