I never got to kill the bunnies.\nI think there too many things to do at once : handle the timing of the kick while deciding of the force of the throw is really hard, especially as there is no room for error, you lose when any enemy touches you. Making the first enemies easier to hit would give more time for the player to focus on the timing without having to worry too much about precision.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1108051,"author_name":"Andrei7","author_uid":"andrei7","epoch":1728679218,"text":"I enjoyed the games, the 2nd time was much better, there is a learning curve to predict how much will the cat fly and how soon or late to press the space bar.
