The shapeshifting mechanics with the different abilities are also great.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game is very difficult though. Partly its because your character is so big relative to the screen, and most of the enemies shoot at you from outside the screen, its hard to see whats going on. It's also annoying not to be able to shoot at an angle, especially when so many enemies can, and often are at a different height than you. Using keyboard + mouse instead of keyboard alone could potentially be a lot easier."},{"author_name":"MagnesiumNinja","author_uid":"3595","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 2:43am","epoch":1461206280,"text":"Nicely detailed graphics!
