My first implementation of the crosshair was way to easy to use thus I increase the difficulty a little too much.

I will try to update my game as time becomes available.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for all the feedback ;)"},{"author_name":"evilseanbot","author_uid":"7902","time":"Jan 7, 2013 @ 1:31am","epoch":1357521960,"text":"Didn't work for me.
