(And perhaps worse performance on slower computers, but look at the particles!)<\/li>\n <li>Music!<\/li>\n <li>View the trajectory before you throw.<\/li>\n <li>Camera rotation.<\/li>\n <li>Faster movement.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-32\/?action=preview&amp;uid=14991\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-466739 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/throw-aliens-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Thanks for all the feedback and thanks for checking out the update!<\/p>","time":"May 9th, 2015 10:07 pm","title":"Throw More Junk at Aliens (Post-Compo Update)"}
