The enemies appeared faster than I could kill them, so I could see that I wasn't going to survive for long.\r\rI would've liked it if they absorbed the bullets depending on which way you were facing.\r\rThe game mechanic did feel a little uninteresting, because if you just think about the mechanics without any of the graphics or the game's context then really it's just the enemies are attacking you with range attacks and you have a close-ranged attack that you have to press the button a lot to use. Perhaps that would've been remedied by the music, sound effects and visual effects (e.g. explosions). OR maybe it would be cool if instead of dying the enemies actually became your friend and fought off the bad guys?"},{"author_name":"tikilittle","author_uid":"22639","time":"May 3, 2015 @ 5:19am","epoch":1430630040,"text":"I liked hugging them aliens. I expected that my alien buddy was a bullet sponge, but I still took damage. That ability would allow the player to play with another mechanic. Try to think of other mechanics you could add on.
