There are few games which encourage you to wait for enemies to show aggression before blindly opening fire on them. I especially like that you color-code characters based on whether or not they've shot at you yet. It makes the gameplay more manageable.\r<br\/>One tiny complaint I'd like to make is that using RMB to draw your gun feels a bit awkward. I usually really like it when games make a player manually un-holster their weapon before they can fire it, but the execution here was a bit frustrating. It was never said anywhere (aside from the instructions on this page) that I even had a weapon that could be un-holstered, let alone that it was done by right clicking. The other problem that I had with this system is that, in the web version, right clicking pulls up a right-click menu, which kind of interferes with gameplay a bit."},{"author_name":"CheesyRamen","author_uid":"23140","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 6:07am","epoch":1440396120,"text":"Thanks for the feedback Nick! For the RMB to un-holster issue, I fixed the web build so that right-clicking doesn't pop up a right-click menu.

I may be reading too much into it, but with all the violence that's being featured in the media right now, I loved exploring this idea of how we're conditioned to &quot;Kill them before they kill us\/me&quot; in video games, especially those of us who play a lot of FPSs. I'm not making a statement about violence in video games, but I appreciated that the game made me think about the fact that I immediately responded by shooting rather than dodging, and what that said about me and my relationship to video game interactions."},{"author_name":"CheesyRamen","author_uid":"23140","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 12:38pm","epoch":1440765180,"text":"Thanks everyone for all the comments and reviews!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My intention was, yes, to take advantage of the fact that in a lot of shooting action video games now, we're conditioned to shoot first, do whatever else later. However, because they're the enemy, we often don't give a second thought about who we end up killing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>To that end, plus to go along with the LD theme, I was thinking if the player knew more about who was being killed (in this case, the white CPU's that don't shoot first), then perhaps the player might feel like a monster, especially if the 'enemies' they killed were, in fact, innocent victims. Once the player realizes that, then the next time they play, the intent is to have them only shoot at the red enemies\/dodge for as long as possible, changing the way the game is played.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>At least that was my intent in making this game. I'm not sure if I was able to successfully convey that in this game jam entry or not."},{"author_name":"MartinFernandez","author_uid":"55525","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1440780480,"text":"cool game!"},{"author_name":"TheIndigoAlchemist","author_uid":"56119","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 5:36pm","epoch":1440783060,"text":"This is a good game!"},{"author_name":"roaringcatgames","author_uid":"58120","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 8:26pm","epoch":1440793260,"text":"Fun but kind of tough trying to be the nice guy.
