Like others say it gets impossible after 1000m. \r\rIt seems difficult to ramp up ... difficulty with the few mechanics going on. Some stuff one could add: Shields you can use. Obstacles. Homing spears that might loop around and come back. Have some of the villagers run towards you, which you need to dodge or somehow attack. After adding some extra mechanics, watch this video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5LScL4CWe5E\rYes there is never enough time :)"},{"author_name":"wg_phancock","author_uid":"51056","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:13am","epoch":1440497280,"text":"I liked the mechanics, they feel like a different kind of twitch gameplay that what you usually see."},{"author_name":"toni343","author_uid":"49032","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:48am","epoch":1440499380,"text":"It is really hard :D.
