I tried for 10+ times and it is very unlikely that the player would have a lot of scraps under current mechanism.  \nThe player has to place allies all the time to reduce the possibility to be shot, or the gameplay will end very quick generally.  \n\nAnyway, looking forward to your new ideas :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TolMera","author_uid":"1004837","time":"2017-12-09T20:54:23Z","epoch":1512852863,"modified":1512852863,"text":"Interesting game, plays nicely though it's a bit hard to get started","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zachary Shah","author_uid":"1045368","time":"2017-12-09T20:56:59Z","epoch":1512853019,"modified":1512853019,"text":"I like it!\nsimple mechanics, nice simple art style.
