The only major problem I could find is that houses continue to appear during menu screens. They don't proceed, but they build up, basically rendering the game impossible unless you exit the menu really fast.\r<br\/>Overall, great game!"},{"author_name":"Jacob","author_uid":"1129","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 4:58am","epoch":1355719980,"text":"Fairly difficult.

Although it felt a little pointless being told not to shoot certain ones as you can't fully control the guns when you've got five of them lined up and there happens to be a casualty. I really enjoyed it though! became loads of fun!"},{"author_name":"dek","author_uid":"11517","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 10:01pm","epoch":1355781360,"text":"Really fun game.

The music and sound design was superb. I also really like how the game rules explored villainy. It was really much easier to just create a bullet storm that nothing could survive in, rather than worry too much about killing innocents, which is exactly the problem with US counter-terrorism philosophy. A great example of how a game can make a point without beating you over the head with it."},{"author_name":"joecarrot","author_uid":"18779","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 1:50am","epoch":1355795100,"text":"Aw thanks Soup!

Really like the force feedback of the gun while shooting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just one thing, sometime both civilian and terrorist are spawned at the same position (not exactly but very close). It's hard to aim.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, nice job :)"},{"author_name":"joekinley","author_uid":"3012","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:02pm","epoch":1355864220,"text":"I have no idea what was going on, and unfortunately it was hard to last longer when there was a huge bunch of houses? approaching. But it was really fun to play. It felt pretty good with the movement and the little bounce. Also the music was nice. That commander dude was awesome.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work.

Should spawn things slower and farther apart (not within x units of one another etc). With some polish it could be a nice little shooting gallery type game.
