Actually the worst thing about it that you did not add the ZQSD buttons for french keyboards, so I tried playing with arrows but it made my web page scroll so I had to get used to WASD. Otherwise it is fun to play, I like the mechanic of the attack even if I think it is a bit hard, and in my opinion, with some polish and more feedbacks the game can become better !

It is fun to run around with a lightsaber.\n\nI also had the same scrolling with arrow keys problem (also an azerty user here) but full screen solved it, thanks!\n\nThere were some small things that confused me a bit though. \nIn the beginning I was confused that the enemies still looked the same after you hit them. I was wondering, did I actually hit them or am I doing it wrong? But I just tried hitting them again and it worked. \n\nI also found the transition to the shop to be really abrupt. Suddenly the whole screen changed while I was still button jamming to kill the enemy. I was usually thinking: what did I do now, did I die? I think a freeze before going to the shop would have helped. \n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"joemanaco","author_uid":"1005080","time":"2019-04-29T20:28:03Z","epoch":1556569683,"modified":1556569706,"text":"Nice little game.
