A tutorial would have been great, I agree, however, I simply did not have the time for it since I pretty much wasted my first day on a failed idea. Best I could do is list the controls under the info section on the main menu ^^'"},{"author_name":"RockhopperGames","author_uid":"46057","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 12:08pm","epoch":1440417780,"text":"First of all, I love the pixel art here, the details and colours are gorgeous! You've added a lot of abilities for Drack, which make for a fun game too, but it's a bit of a shame that the enemy types just negate those abilities, instead of adding more types of play. With some more developed levels and enemies, this could be a real cool game.\r\rJust one other suggestion, you might want to try and stop multiple hit sounds ect. playing over the top of each other, as you get further in it can be a bit cacophonous!"},{"author_name":"AdenMansonGames","author_uid":"38857","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 12:53pm","epoch":1440420480,"text":"The art was AMAZING!

The gameplay is quite fun and the art style is extremely good. However, I do have some constructive criticism. Some sort of quick tutorial message or level would help players learn the attacks, but I understand you were short on time. Also the direction the player is facing was not always consistent on the direction it is moving. Overall, a great game!"},{"author_name":"pirate_shell","author_uid":"56787","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 1:27pm","epoch":1440422520,"text":"@Sir Spiderlot Thank you! Next entry I make will definitely spend more time teaching the player things. As far as the direction, the player faces the mouse, not where he's moving to. It's a simple mistake to make, though ^^' Thanks for the feedback~"},{"author_name":"bodsey","author_uid":"3672","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 6:17pm","epoch":1440439920,"text":"Looks great, but no way to play on Mac :\/"},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 8:23pm","epoch":1440447480,"text":"Graphics are very nice and the gameplay are very fun too.

I had to play a couple times before realizing that there were a couple skills to use, but always returned to the one that's the default. Also a little bit more feedback on the abilities (screen shake etc) would've made them feel more powerful. \r\rGenerally an impressive effort though, good job!"},{"author_name":"q2k2k","author_uid":"55048","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:11am","epoch":1440464760,"text":"I like the flow of this game and the skills you can use to fight off different enemies. The audio is lacking though. Once the mechanics have been figured out then it starts to get interesting.

The variety of weapons was also a nice touch but I did find myself standing in one position mainly to kill them as they came at me but definitely understandable with the time limit.
