I wandered around the first level for way too long. I collected everything and killed everyone and went everywhere.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tudvari","author_uid":"1036138","time":"2020-10-05T20:29:57Z","epoch":1601929797,"modified":1601929797,"text":"It was a nice entry, and I wanted more. But when I arrived at the start of the loop, there was no next level :\\\n\nIs this intended, or I missed something?\n\nAlso as the others mentioned, there were performance issues at start, and the \"shooting when moving\" mechanic was a bit strange to me. But my girlfriend liked it.\n\nThe view at the left side of a map was bad, because I could only see like 3-4 tiles ahead, which is not enough :\\\n\nOtherwise I enjoyed it while it lasted, and really liked the aesthetics and the curved look :)\n\nGood job!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"beats","author_uid":"1123353","time":"2020-10-05T21:02:08Z","epoch":1601931728,"modified":1601931728,"text":"Nice use of dual purpose control, reminds me of Pacman 3D, good level of polish too","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sindri","author_uid":"1220941","time":"2020-10-05T22:42:35Z","epoch":1601937755,"modified":1601937755,"text":"I really like this!

Is being stuck in a one level the theme ?  I killed every enemies, loot every coins aaaand nothing more ?

I particularly enjoyed the look you created for this game. As has been said there are some lag spikes that happen as you make your way around the level for the first time. \n\nI don't mind the game being a single level but some kind of game over screen would be great to let you know you finished the content. I think it's quite an interesting approaching to controls to combine movement and shooting and I think it could be really interesting if you decide to keep working on this title","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"loveapplegames","author_uid":"1006791","time":"2020-10-10T15:32:11Z","epoch":1602343931,"modified":1602343931,"text":"Good job on the graphics and sound! I find the presentation of this game very appealing. I think the gameplay can be much better with some tweaking though.
