A few things. First, you guys are a team so you should be submitting this game to the Jam section not the Compo section for Ludum Dare. Compo games are made by only one person. Second, it looks like your replay feature is replaying keyboard inputs which causes the units to not follow the same path on multiple playthroughs. This is kind of irritating because it seems like it is random whether the unit I just played will get through the first gate and clear out the enemies I killed. Overall really cool concept that just needs more polish. Great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"burnedkirby","author_uid":"1005168","time":"2018-12-04T02:31:53Z","epoch":1543890713,"modified":1543890713,"text":"Cool concept. Problem is, sometimes the \"replay\" players get out of sync, and go in wrong directions. Sometimes they die sooner than usual, but that is expected since the newer players change where the enemies are shooting. Difficult but interesting. Having a health bar would've been helpful as its hard to tell how many hits remaining you can take.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hempuli","author_uid":"1006887","time":"2018-12-04T02:42:17Z","epoch":1543891337,"modified":1543891337,"text":"Very interesting! After playing for a bit and going back for a battering ram, it was neat to see the whole \"team\" in action. The shotgun enemies felt very hard to dodge, especially the one right after the first door. Also since the best character costs so much, the beginning of the game got somewhat slow since I had to wait for the enemies to go away. Still, interesting take on the theme!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nanocube75","author_uid":"1122532","time":"2018-12-04T02:45:31Z","epoch":1543891531,"modified":1543891531,"text":"it was fun and a cool concept","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ajay.2002","author_uid":"1036660","time":"2018-12-04T03:49:40Z","epoch":1543895380,"modified":1543895380,"text":"@blackshadow1games Thank you very much for the feedback, will definitely look at your game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ajay.2002","author_uid":"1036660","time":"2018-12-04T03:50:34Z","epoch":1543895434,"modified":1543895434,"text":"@darkianmaker As this is a bug that is probably ruining the gameplay experience of many, I have fixed this issue, instead of trying to fix the entire input mechanism I just timed the death of the enemies, so they will always die at the same time.

It still has a few bugs and aiming directly towards your mouse is aiming is slightly weird you could try shooting at a fixed height and only make that adjustment if you are aiming at enemies higher. Your replay characters also behave weirdly (I sometimes found enemies dying out of knowhere. Doors also block bullets even if open or it seemed to me.
