Definitely created a lot of challenges. I just wish that there were some music and sound effect to make the game feel more full.\n\nOverall, great entry!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rodobodolfo","author_uid":"1001727","time":"2017-05-13T03:06:36Z","epoch":1494644796,"modified":1494644796,"text":"love it!! its super smooth and the visuals are awesome!! its really challenging in a good way. \nI wish it had at least some basic sfx and music it would be really nice.\n\nGreat job!!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BluShine","author_uid":"1006074","time":"2017-05-13T03:53:54Z","epoch":1494647634,"modified":1494647634,"text":"Very challenging, although it seemed like the game might have been running too fast? Not sure if that's intentional. I played the windows executable. After watching the gameplay video, I think it might be a bug. Still, I kind of liked it, it was a bit like Devil Daggers. Also, I figured out that you can just mash all the WASD keys and shoot rapidly in all directions, which was pretty fun. \n\nI really liked the art. Even with such a small number of assets, the animations and colors had a really cool feel. And the effects were amazing, I loved the beams and the tiny green area within the purple wasteland. \n\nI agree with the other comments that some sounds would have made it even better. The art was already so weird and evocative that I found myself wondering what kinds of sounds these strange crystal beings would make as they walked around.
