The graphic scheme grew on me as I continued to play the game; it was dark and it fit the mood of your game well, as well as complementing the music.\n\nThe control scheme flowed well, however I didn't have as much control over the player's aim as I would have liked to. Otherwise, I had fun. Good job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"simonhutchinson","author_uid":"1002685","time":"2018-12-05T17:24:51Z","epoch":1544030691,"modified":1544030691,"text":"Neat.

Those poor hobos never knew what hit em... It'd be cool if the player had more than one weapon, or some other mechanic going on besides just shooting.

I think some more diverse sound and player mechanics (like health packs or a sprint function) would be a good addition. I like the way the art was done to make it seem like a 90s game.

Reminded me a lot of Smash TV which I love. Also, got me in the zone a bit like Binding of Isaac does. Also I laughed out loud when I realized that the people were falling on the left side of my screen - I didn't see them initially! And then the crowd with the \"Y A Y\" sign - brilliant.
