The art was decent, and I liked the gunshot sounds. I sort of felt like the placement of traps didn't matter as much as just shooting well. That said, it's a cool idea.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Captain Laserstorm","author_uid":"1038002","time":"2017-08-05T13:23:43Z","epoch":1501939423,"modified":1501939423,"text":"The game is pretty fun! Also, the announcer saying \"Game Over\" was very Halo-ish. ;) However, I would have liked the gun to make the enemies disappear instead of freeze in place, since at first I didn't notice that the gun was doing anything to the enemies. The game would also sometimes freeze when I died instead of causing a \"game over\" screen to appear. But all in all this is a pretty good game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"elmismopancho","author_uid":"1034798","time":"2017-08-10T00:14:26Z","epoch":1502324066,"modified":1502324066,"text":"The idea is good, nice variety of traps. \nI would prefer to plan the position of the traps and have a limit of them, rather than have an unlimited amount but a short time to plant them. Also the bullet collision was a bit buggy.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SleepyStudios","author_uid":"1013508","time":"2017-08-19T18:22:51Z","epoch":1503166971,"modified":1503166971,"text":"Great sounds and art but yeah the collisions were a bit funky.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld39\/46126-e3cd85c09829883806ed61111516c633.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/slowpoke.itch.io\/ld39-the-lights-go-out","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/slowpoke.itch.io\/ld39-the-lights-go-out","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/slowpoke.itch.io\/ld39-the-lights-go-out","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"38740","g_author":"1013490","g_event":"LD39","g_eventkey":"74","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"252364","g_title":"The lights go out.","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"46126","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"46126","n_urlkey":"252364","n_parent":"32802","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/the-lights-go-out","n_slug":"the-lights-go-out","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"13490","n_created":"1501546618","n_modified":"1501553116","n_version":"126607","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":46126,"parent":32802,"superparent":9,"author":13490,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-08-01T01:58:15Z","created":"2017-08-01T00:16:58Z","modified":"2017-08-01T02:05:16Z","version":126607,"slug":"the-lights-go-out","name":"The lights go out.","body":"![small_a.png](\/\/\/raw\/2b4\/3\/z\/7c20.png)\n![small_b.png](\/\/\/raw\/2b4\/3\/z\/7c21.png)\n![small_d.png](\/\/\/raw\/2b4\/3\/z\/7c26.png)\n\nFight enemies, you can win if you fight enough!
