It seems the mouse is mandatory, but at the first screen i cannot use the mouse to click on ok? In my first try, i was immediately attacked and died, having no idea how to fight back. In the second try, i was told my car has not enough energy. I then ran around killing 2 guys that did not do anything - the third jumped me and i died. So i didn't really understand it, a tutorial with a slower introduction would be fantastic. In retrospective, i understand it better having read the description - ideally, the game introduces the concepts via gameplay (because...when have you read the manual the last time? :D ).\n\nAnyway, it's great that you finished! The mood and the world is interesting, i just didn't really figure out what to do. Sorry!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"brinkhousegames","author_uid":"1002162","time":"2017-08-01T19:03:30Z","epoch":1501614210,"modified":1501614210,"text":"Tried to download the MacOSX version to play but was only shown an .EXE after unzipping...

Some more firepower would've been nice to have!\n\nAside from that, pretty solid top-down shooter. Good use of the energy theme too - having your energy split between your weapon and your vehicle is a great touch.\n\nCongrats, great entry!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"josehzz","author_uid":"1001453","time":"2017-08-01T19:34:13Z","epoch":1501616053,"modified":1501616053,"text":"Nice entry, it was hard but found it entertaining","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Burgee","author_uid":"1019199","time":"2017-08-01T19:38:32Z","epoch":1501616312,"modified":1501616312,"text":"This was fun but pretty hard at the same time.  I never made it past day 1 after 3-4 attempts. \n\nThe monsters stick right to you and do pretty consistent damage, maybe shooting them should knock them back a bit (if you develop this further and i think you should). \n\nThe music was good, atmosphere was one of the better ones I've seen so far, and you hit the theme too.

I never passed the first day.\n\nThe enemies are too fast and difficult to aim and you can get lost pretty easily. I tried to stealth as written in the description, bu the camera is too zoomed in, you can't see enough around you. The enemies see you before you can see them.\n\nAnyway, that's a pity because it could have been a really entertaining game.

You may have not implemented everything you wanted (this is the story of every LD :smile:), but you made a working entry with enough gameplay in there to entertain me for a while. It's missing a clear goal, but exploring was fun for a few minutes. \n\nThe graphics are quite good, the music is very strong. The UI could use some love, the opening screen with the arrow key-controlled inventory system is a little clunky. Pressing ENTER to quit after you lose the game isn't the best choice - you want your players to play another round, right? A restart option would be better.\n\nCongrats on your first LD!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ciobeni","author_uid":"1012161","time":"2017-08-01T20:28:22Z","epoch":1501619302,"modified":1501619302,"text":"Pretty good game, great work.
