Overall the controls and feel of the game were good. What I was craving the most in this experience was:\n- More weapons\n- Limitations on those weapons (ammo for guns or integrity for other weapons like bats\/knives)\n- Something to do with the collectible coins... At least a counter (unless I missed it)\n- Different enemy behaviors. They would always follow you, so staying stationary and spamming attack would be sufficient to killing hordes of enemies. Their dead bodies would drop health on top of you. So ultimately I could play the game and survive while standing still!\n\nNice work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":782295,"author_name":"Cinnamon18","author_uid":"cinnamon18","epoch":1649122083,"text":"You did a really nice job on this!
