Controls were weird, and the arrow key controls combined with webplayer caused my browser to scroll while playing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I enjoyed the art style, though.

After reading your description i imagine the real final result and seems good to me. Controls are a bit weird but the design its original and well done. Can't stop laughing about the Shoot's sound-effect"},{"author_name":"Ghust1995","author_uid":"58051","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 6:47am","epoch":1461134520,"text":"Good stuff. Pretty incomplete, as you said, but it seems like a good basis for a solid game. As fun as the shooting SFX is, it does get repetitive after a while (especially when you're pumping a ton of shots) and you get to maximum stats quite fast (shooting a ton of pellets and killing enemies with one hit). Try finishing the game up! I'd love to see a more finished version."},{"author_name":"BubsyPoochies","author_uid":"66146","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 1:34pm","epoch":1461158940,"text":"Good idea and very neat presentation, I love the consistency of the art style and sound (especially the scribbling effects), as well as the different level layout every time you begin the game. Found it a little bit tough though, avoiding enemy bullets is quite tricky! Would love to see a more complete version of this!"},{"author_name":"LoneStranger","author_uid":"203","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 4:44am","epoch":1461213540,"text":"Love the art\/sfx style.

There is code telling it to spawn and the assets for the notifications are bundled with the game but for whatever reason it just never appears.
