The graphics look great, and I really like the reload animation. If only all shooter games were as accurate as this...
The game has a lot of juice as well.
My only problem is that the ten seconds can feel like a bit much so there's a lot of waiting around. I think it could be cool if there were other ways to kill the redcoats besides shooting that were maybe a bit harder. But overall, still a great game that was really fun!
great interpretation of the theme, and its actually FUN which is important to say the least when it comes to games. I'd like to highlight the animations, very nicely done!
Great work!
Overall cool little game for COMPO.
this is hilarious, I do wish it was easier to see the reload animation, especially since you are dodging around so fast that it makes it that much harder to see. The weakest part is the music; would have been cool to have some revolutionary war tunes (I need that pennywhistle, stat).
Chasing squads are so scary and dangerous. Even if they're armed only with the muskets. Like!
It is very polished. I honestly have nothing to comment. It was just a good experience.
