The sound and the graphics are amazing.  The gameplay was fun as well, though it became extremely difficult to dodge or attack the enemies.  I think this was because of two things:\r<br\/>- The Rodin thinker statues take up a huge amount or real estate on the screen, and either they hit me even though I was at the back of the level and they were up front (which would imply you're using straight up 2D collision detection, or something else is hitting me and I just can't see it.\r<br\/>- I kept getting a very slow weapon that has a short range and can only be first one shot at a time.  With the number of enemies entering the screen, this weapon is pretty useless.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Despite these two things I had a blast.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>P.S. my high score was 5880."},{"author_name":"Garris","author_uid":"33993","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:07am","epoch":1429502520,"text":"Very well put together.

The art, music, and perspective effects are all amazing!  But it's not that much fun to play, really.  The waves are all over the place and you're constantly dying and respawning in the middle of waves, invulnerable for a moment, and then taking damage pretty quick.  Jumping is weird, since you can't shoot in the air, even though some enemies are tall enough that you'd still hit them.
