The shape shifting would be a lot more useful if the enemies had a limited sight, so you could get in a better position for the surprise attack ;) So I mostly played like a warrior just fighting through :)"},{"author_name":"sbeif","author_uid":"90107","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 5:42pm","epoch":1461001020,"text":"I had some serious performance issues and the game was super slow and the controls laggy.

I found a bit hard to control though, since there are so many buttons to press ^^;\rSometimes I couldn't reflect the laser back to the sentry, don't know why, only some angles had that effect...
