Great application of the theme. I also really enjoyed the graphics and use of lighting. On the other hand, I think it needed a more concrete objective than last as long as you can - maybe escape points?","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"adhesion","author_uid":"1005667","time":"2018-05-13T02:04:00Z","epoch":1526177040,"modified":1526177040,"text":"Interesting concept, though a bit disorienting at first since you get dropped right into the action and there's no map or anything to figure out where everyone is. Once I got the hang of it it was cool to figure out good hiding spots, but it had the weird progression of getting easier as time went on since I had fewer people to manage. Would have been cool to have a time you needed to survive for or some other objectives to complete. I had some intermittent lag on Firefox as well which made things a little frustrating but it was still playable. Still pretty fun, would be cool to see this fleshed out a bit more. Nice work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"1000095","time":"2018-05-13T03:31:16Z","epoch":1526182276,"modified":1526182276,"text":"Interesting idea, but I think this something that gives the player more control in terms of how they're going for points, and some obvious win condition to strive for.
