Combined together, they work really well as a rhythmic-strategy exercise to figure out the most efficient way to move forward.\r\rHowever, I thought the game was too long. As in, it had way too much filler content, or moments in the game where it'll drag because I was just defending over and over again. A good suggestion is to add health bars to the enemies to make it easier to keep track of, and make a decision to finish them off sooner than I would have."}],"images":["ld36\/112341-63434e7854fb4df743386a85bf63d8df.jpg","ld36\/112341-195db442a86033d6b7b28457fc3d6e01.jpg","ld36\/112341-6ce4581ea967124ae84cba2f47144a1a.jpg","ld36\/112341-2b7dede98516393cc73fb51d2c210ba9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/csqr.uniag.sk\/ld36","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/h8ne33g7c0xgp4t\/ld36exec.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/7fb03bv8eom8g96\/ludumDare36.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"429","g_author":"112341","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"531","g_title":"Atlantis Warmachine","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/112341-shot0-1472432375.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/112341-shot1-1472466841.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/112341-shot2-1472466841.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/112341-shot3-1472466841.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Sit in the cockpit of an ancient mech, become a hero, defend the Earth.\r\n\r\nWhat's the catch?
