As I didn't realize there are power ups and grenades I had to run and shoot until the time was gone. Anyways power ups are also cool addition to the game, and made it even more fun to play.\n\nWhat could really improve it more is if first person aiming head any impact (giving headshots to those minions would be satisfying).\n\nKeep up the good work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Infraxion","author_uid":"1053927","time":"2017-12-05T03:45:17Z","epoch":1512445517,"modified":1512445517,"text":"I thought being able to switch between first person and top down shooter was really unique and innovative, but it didn't really serve a purpose in the game.

The idea is really interesting and I would love to see this explored and completed. The balance between the big and the medium enemies worked well, however when the little guys came in I was killed instantly. They are so fast and hard to hit that I just couldn't keep track. I loved the graphics and the music choice, but the sound effects became a bit repetative. The only one other problem I have with the game is that the camera switching was kind of awkward, however alltogether this was a fun little package with really enjoyable graphics and ideas.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DWulff","author_uid":"1020799","time":"2017-12-06T05:24:01Z","epoch":1512537841,"modified":1512537841,"text":"I feel like there is definitely something to explore here just needs a little more polish!
