The monsters get repetitive, though, and while it's very useful to be able to shoot diagonally, it's a bit odd when there's no diagonal-facing guy image. The score seemed to change a bit erratically, sometimes going up when the monster appears, and sometimes when I shoot it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lynn Young","author_uid":"1104078","time":"2018-08-14T15:49:49Z","epoch":1534261789,"modified":1534261789,"text":"@panda Thank you for the feedback. I was thinking about adding a boss but I didn't really have as much time as I had hoped to work on it. The score goes up once the enemy has completely faded and when you start the game it should go up to 1000 as that is a relic of me testing the score animation thingy that I just forgot to disable xD.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"GhostGoatsGames","author_uid":"1076902","time":"2018-08-15T22:19:17Z","epoch":1534371557,"modified":1534371557,"text":"Pretty okay game.  Doesn't seem to fit the theme too much, but that's okay.  I like the art.  Controls are a little wonky, maybe in part due to the lack of a diagonal sprite.
