You were very original and brilliant in your mix-n-match powerup concept.  I didn't like the graphics or the political\/religious iconography: the humour fell flat and I would have preferred it to be mixing fire and water, oil and vinegar, light and dark mana, etc.  But great execution and original idea.  Good work!"},{"author_name":"Switchbreak","author_uid":"2645","time":"Aug 24, 2010 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1282678620,"text":"Nice. The graphics all look very clean, and I like the idea. I love the way the combos work, though too often I wound up on a screen full of things that didn't go together."},{"author_name":"Danik","author_uid":"2311","time":"Aug 27, 2010 @ 2:04pm","epoch":1282917540,"text":"Unusually brainy shooter, innovative!"},{"author_name":"NiallM","author_uid":"785","time":"Aug 28, 2010 @ 2:53am","epoch":1282963680,"text":"A really smart idea, and I loved being able to chain oppositions.

You can then read the tips after you've played a bit, if you like.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI really wanted to do something other than \"throw enemies at enemies\" or \"take control of enemies\", etc.\r\n\r\nThen it occurred to me that the enemies don't have to be the player's enemies.  So I based the game on picking up symbols of things, matching pairs of mutual enemies (e.g., democrats and republicans), and using the contention between these natural enemies to power your gun.\r\n\r\nI only implemented one type of (pretty lame) bad guy for you to shoot, so the actual shooty gameplay isn't as compelling as I'd like.  I also spent about half my time in Photoshop, since I'm a coder, not an artist, and I was very slow at making the icons.\r\n\r\nDone in Flash, with FlashPunk.  Sfxr used for sound effects.<\/p>","title":"Ennameez"}
