The graphics were beautiful, the level destruction was very fun, but as a game it didn't feel like it had a lot going for it.\n\nThe only weapon that felt useful was the default machine gun and I was simply holding left click the entire time while shooting at enemies. The hitboxes were a bit off as when you were on higher terrain, you could not shoot enemies on a different y level. Often the destroyed terrain would hide small enemies making it so you couldn't see them at all. The bosses also didn't have health bars which would have made those fights much better.\n\nThe animations and overall design were very cute and have a lot of potential to work with a game that has good mechanics. Would love to see more in the future, there's good potential here!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1108723,"author_name":"Yue Zhang","author_uid":"yue-zhang","epoch":1728712293,"text":"All creatures are sooo cute!
