I liked the effect when killing enemies and the camera shake when getting hit. It was kind of difficult to make it far tho since you loose health if the enemies even get close to you from an angle. The controls were good and it works perfectly on Linux using Wine."},{"author_name":"whitebird","author_uid":"11036","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 8:40pm","epoch":1335472500,"text":"Too bad I couldn't use ZQSD on an azerty keyboard, arrow keys didn't work either.\r<br\/>I felt that the gameplay was a little stiff, didn't think the movement was fluent.\r<br\/>If you ignore that, you can easily lose hours in this game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>brb, trying to kill boss."},{"author_name":"crazyheckman","author_uid":"7321","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 3:03am","epoch":1335495480,"text":"The particles are pretty gratifying.
