I love the trashy 90s setting and ur team. Game is great for what u can do in 72 hours. Nice sounds, graphics and effects.

Also sound fits.\nUnfortunately I felt unable to live longer than 15 seconds. doesn't matter where you go, you always die als big spiders make 25% dmg and there are many.\nThe safe spots are not really safe.\nSpiders don't walk there but they shoot at you there. So no chance to trade in the corpses. Always when I tried to trade them in I got killed while doing so. Fuirther you can't shoot while carrying your corpse so you get killed even faster.\n\nProbably my \"skill\" but I think the game is quite hard.\n\n\nAnyways: As I said it looks and feels awesome, I would just like to start a bit easier.\n\nP.s.: It felt like if in WebGL the shoot rate of spiders is lower.\nP.p.s.: The Windows build does not capture (lock) the mouse so I sometimes clicked somewhere on my secondary screens.\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nerzal","author_uid":"1083680","time":"2019-05-01T17:48:39Z","epoch":1556732919,"modified":1556732919,"text":"The beginning was kinda meh.\nBut as soon as i reached godmode insta gib minigun laser fire it was pretty godlike. \nWas hard to die if you kill everything :D \nAll in all good graphics, nice sounds and music.

Looks and sounds absolutely great! The idea for the game is fun as well. The enemies felt a bit too bullet spongy to me and were not really interesting to fight against. I would have liked them to be faster and more dangerous but with a much lower HP pool. That would probably also make the dash more useful. Good job! :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Extrone","author_uid":"1058136","time":"2019-05-02T11:12:20Z","epoch":1556795540,"modified":1556795540,"text":"That was definitely a super fun game, really well polished, too polished for a game jam :sweat_smile: I am just salty :grin:. The only thing I would suggest is to make the mouse cursor\/pointer a bit clear\/different than the environment, it was hard to keep track of it.

I tried to \"get\" it for a long time by just playing the game but I had to give up and go to the LD page in order to understand what I was supposed to do. Some final win condition would have been nice. I'd also have liked some more UI letting me know how much a body will let me upgrade the mechanics and how much I already gained from the respective coffins. \n\nOther than that, big props for the visual fidelity, the city models, vfx and post fx. Looks amazing, especially for a game jam game!","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/151435-c1d5155aecab739956439aa1c1a01b66.png"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/92.51.149.252\/WebGL\/","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"http:\/\/92.51.149.252\/Windows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/92.51.149.252\/Lazarboi.app.zip","text":"macOS"},{"url":"http:\/\/92.51.149.252\/Linux.zip","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"54111","g_author":"1006741","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"253402","g_title":"LAZERBOI","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"151435","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.571471"},"nds":{"n_key":"151435","n_urlkey":"253402","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/laserboi","n_slug":"laserboi","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"6741","n_created":"1556442134","n_modified":"1556792303","n_version":"469113","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":151435,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":6741,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-04-30T01:00:07Z","created":"2019-04-28T09:02:14Z","modified":"2019-05-02T10:18:23Z","version":469113,"slug":"laserboi","name":"LAZERBOI","body":"![lazerboi_animatedlogo.gif](\/\/\/raw\/55a\/1\/z\/232de.gif)\n\n*LAZERBOI is Earth's last lone warrior against an onslaught of Cyber-Spiders.
