Great fun, mood and graphics. Shame on the [or lack of] audio.

Or maybe I'm just bad at it. I liked the graphics quite a bit. The gameplay was pretty repetitive, though I liked the challenge of juggling the gun and the cart, making progress while keeping zombies at bay. The threat of being alone made it fit well with the theme."},{"author_name":"dcfedor","author_uid":"7413","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 5:35am","epoch":1324359000,"text":"Beautiful work. The art style and parallax look great, and the minecart + shooter combo is challenging. (Love the swinging arm anim for Molly sprite!)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Control scheme was a bit rough on the fingers (A,D,R,O,P hard to reach all at once), but solid game overall."},{"author_name":"Pierrec","author_uid":"1874","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 12:14pm","epoch":1324469340,"text":"Very funny game! Very scarry too. I would have prefered S for the reload button."},{"author_name":"joekinley","author_uid":"3012","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1324473840,"text":"That is one tough game. Kinda cruel with that reloading, and you can't jump. You can't even regenerate health. Cruel cruel game. That reloading was a pain. \r<br\/>The controls overall were a pain. It just felt unnatural with that layout. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the graphics, good job on that. Also theme was done okay.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>No timelapse? Not even one blog entry? That's sad. Open up, we are a great community."},{"author_name":"ned366","author_uid":"7958","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 1:46am","epoch":1324518060,"text":"@joekinley thanks for the input! Yeah both the controls and difficulty are in dire need of &quot;tweaking.&quot; It's funny you mentioned jumping, the code actually exists but is commented out in the Monkey source. Learned my lesson with respect to time management that's for sure. As for a blog entry, I am not really sure what's good or bad. I was leaning towards a postmortem, but I am open to suggestions.  This was my first Ludum Dare. It was also my first time programming with.(in?) Monkey. I figure the postmortem will be about that. More to come..."},{"author_name":"marudziik","author_uid":"5431","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 8:06pm","epoch":1324584060,"text":"Very interesting entry, but too difficult for me. :\/ Graphics are great though."},{"author_name":"evilseanbot","author_uid":"7902","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 7:12am","epoch":1324883220,"text":"Nice game!"},{"author_name":"jfroco","author_uid":"2085","time":"Jan 3, 2012 @ 1:45pm","epoch":1325598000,"text":"Great game... very good idea. Gfx are superb. It's super hard. In my opinion a shooter should have at least some sound effect it would add a lot to the player experience but I know it's a 48h compo and you privileged gameplay.

But I stayed on it for a few minutes so, there's something good there. Also, A and D are useable in this title, even with an azerty keyboard, but the &quot;R&quot; is not easy to use.
