Takes a little bit of play to figure out what's going on but after that it's fairly smooth to move around the arena and start new waves. The graphics and sound were pretty fitting and about the only bug I noticed was that sometimes enemies got themselves stuck in corners.\n\nP.S. I can't speak for everyone else but I'd prefer a zip file I can just unzip (that way I can keep the files for all the games I've played together) rather than an installer (which I then have to go around and hunt down the uninstaller for). Not that that will affect my score obviously.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fullmontis","author_uid":"1002934","time":"2018-12-03T12:35:57Z","epoch":1543840557,"modified":1543840557,"text":"It's a very enjoyable experience! I liked it.\n\nThings that could be improved: the space button to shoot can be stressful on the fingers, i think the mouse button would be a better choice. The AI always got stuck in the walls which made all the fights quite easy. \n\nBesides this, I think it is a fun game with fun mechanics, and I like how it changes the shooting mechanics.\n\nI got up to level 8 but no one came, I don't know if that is the end of the game or a bug? \n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Earlybard","author_uid":"1090764","time":"2018-12-04T12:02:44Z","epoch":1543924964,"modified":1543924964,"text":"Very nice use of the theme, sharing life as your one resource for attacking is neat!\n\nI think it could do with some feedback when an enemy is hit by an attack.

It was a great experience, the gameplay is on point, except maybe a click instead of the space bar fot the attack ? \nI only had two problems; the ennemy getting stuck in the wall, the game then become a bit too easy.
