Artwork was really nice and colourful, the UI was interesting as well. Loved the idea of having a bank rather than just a simple ammo count. For your next project I'd suggest elaborating upon the gameplay mechanics and systems a lot more, so that there is less repetition and more interesting gameplay. It got tedious after some time when I felt that I had learnt and experienced everything the game has to offer. Put the player in more interesting and naturally emerging situations so that they're constantly being challenged. More game feel elements similar to the particle effects would also be nice and make it a lot more enjoyable, consider things like screenshake and squash and stretch effects. Overall a solid game, well done!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"OddSocks","author_uid":"1141674","time":"2019-10-15T10:06:52Z","epoch":1571134012,"modified":1571134012,"text":"For a first game jam, this is great (better than anything I've made!).
