I got to the second level and was unable to complete it. Not sure if there is a timer on how long before everyone dies or if the dodging I did helped at all. Definitely would've liked some audio cues on whether my gun is firing, since I wasn't sure whether to aim using the center of the screen or the end of the gun. Poor soldiers, stuck in a loop forever without me...\n\nAnyway, let me know if you want to join up with us for the next jam. All we need to do is get together beforehand to work out how we would do version control ... I keep forgetting about that, and then it's too late because the jam is already beginning and I don't want to figure out how we do that during the jam.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"terryg","author_uid":"1004146","time":"2020-10-08T04:34:07Z","epoch":1602131647,"modified":1602131647,"text":"Thanks, Meredith.

I had a really hard time trying to aim and not-die, and I feel my sense of scale was really weird? Like the soldier became twice as tall once you body-jacked them.
