It's fun once you realize that picking up the blue dots upgrades your weapon. I was surprised that there was 3 separate music tracks.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the game would be much improved by scaling everything up. There's a lot of black space on the screen that isn't really useful. It would also help appreciate the cute pixel animations more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I was also missing some sort of hit \/ impact effect when your bullets hit an enemy, or when an enemy dies.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Lastly, I wish there was more dialogue that I could read in a scottish accent!"},{"author_name":"NPC23","author_uid":"92772","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 2:43am","epoch":1460947080,"text":"That was really fun dude.

Gameplay is nice, but I had some instances of the bats clipping through walls, which made them impossible to hit.

You weren't joking when you said the enemies were hard to kill! Loved the graphics.
