I guess when you walk in the direction of the arrow some points could be given. You also need to check the random generator, as I have started a game in a small empty room.\n\nGood work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rocktavious","author_uid":"1053841","time":"2018-04-24T15:05:43Z","epoch":1524582343,"modified":1524582343,"text":"I agree with most sentiments here, the tempo is just a little slow and a bit monotonous.  But i also found the difficulty ramps up alot quickly with the spot lights and such.  I think the foundation of the game is solid and with a few tweaks and a few more interesting choices it could be really fun!

I am really horrible at multitasking games but this has a lot of potential.  I think that you could have made the player speed a little faster and given the player the ability to shoot during movement without taking away from the game at all.  \n\nThe art and the mood was good, although I would have liked to see something neat when you hit a note successfully.\n\nDo the spotlights follow you when they hear you?  Because I swear in all my games they would home in on me and not stop following me until they hit me.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kr4ft3r","author_uid":"1021925","time":"2018-04-27T19:15:33Z","epoch":1524856533,"modified":1524856533,"text":"Fun stuff, and pixelated cowboys are always cool, my only grievance is the cowboy is not really dancing.
