It didn't matter much how fast opponents moved either since it didn't seem to change their projectile velocity. And with enough speed, I can circle around them forever. You can't circle around crashing though. It crashed on me, then Chrome showed up a \"page unresponsive\" popup.\n\nI really like how the two options for the numerical stats had upsides *and* downsides. It made the choices much more interesting.

That was fun and easy to jump into\nMy only issue with the gameplay is that there wasn't any feedback from shooting enemies. The healthbar is hard to see especially when theres a bunch of enemies on screen at a time. I think a simple way to make it better would be to lower the brightness of the enemy cubes as they take damage. If you can easily tell which enemies are close to dying, it makes it easier to figure out where to move to try and keep your dudes alive. Also, a slight knockback effect when you hit enemies would add a lot to the game feel","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":881171,"author_name":"NightVision65","author_uid":"nightvision65","epoch":1665279372,"text":"Simple but fun game!\nThe game crashed while I'm playing, hope there will be a fix.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":881189,"author_name":"LDJam user 259946","author_uid":"259946","epoch":1665280177,"text":"Quite good!
