I did have some trouble figuring out when I would be able to shoot again, I couldn\u2019t find any pattern to it. I thought that your sound was great, both the music and sound effects. The art style was pretty good; some of the text on the main menu was a bit small, but once in-game everything was very readable and looked good.

My biggest gripe would be that I'd prefer that finishing a level was determined by completing the word at the top of the screen, rather than shooting all of the enemies. The benefits from completing the words didn't feel big enough to motivate me to do it, but at the same time that was the most interesting mechanic of the game. I couldn't really see how the game fit the theme, but other than that I thought it was really enjoyable overall. Fantastic job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"zchangvx","author_uid":"1071703","time":"2018-08-14T04:45:04Z","epoch":1534221904,"modified":1534221904,"text":"This felt like a pretty smart combination of genres and mechanics.
