I definitely _did_ feel bad ass, and my long years of dumpster diving helped keep me full up on ~~drugs~~ useful power-ups. Short, and sweet, with lots of shooting. I do wish it was a big longer, and I do wish the boss wasn't bugged, because it seemed like it could have been a fun fight.\n\nArt and music were nice, though.

It also bothers me that there is no way to dodge the bullets unless you shoot zombies when they are so far away they don't try to run towards you.

The power-up system, whilst helpful, was a bit confusing and I wasn't entirely sure what everything did. The music was also pretty good, although it did take a bit long to actually kick in and geet the player pumped.

I like the different power up items and such, added a unique feel to the game. Also who doesn't want to be a badass hobo with a gun!? Really easy to pick up and play.\n\nI wish there was a way other than using items to dodge enemy bullets, I don't know if I missed the jump button, but I couldn't find it. This game is pretty bare bones as well, and it was difficult to understand what each item did.
