I'd love to see more mechanics added. I can tell a lot of work went into this. The addition of layers of vision could have some really neat moments of discovery for players -- this idea was super cool.\n\nThere is a negative feedback loop that happens sometimes in combat where I become less able to address\/escape a situation as I take damage, which often meant that one hit meant a lot of hits, which meant death. It might be neat to see more \"small\" or \"minor\" abilities to pad the spaces between the critical stuff (like jumping and firing), or something like that. Not the only solution, just one idea.\n\nAlso, pretty minor, but I'm an idiot, so I didn't realize I could move with WASD for a minute (I thought D was special for some reason, since it was called out alone in the tutorial). Worth considering that other players may also be idiots, haha.\n\nI like Nully's bug-like bot aesthetic, and the electroswing theme taps into a fun modern zeitgeist. Good work!\n","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"arielle stroman","author_uid":"1132886","time":"2019-10-07T16:34:29Z","epoch":1570466069,"modified":1570466070,"text":"@milieu thanks a ton for your feedback!
