I really like the restrained, minimalist approach to your design choices. One thing I personally felt was slightly awkward was the motion control. I feel that it may have been better to map the motions to respond to the direction that the character is facing, as opposed to the 4 compass directions. Kudos."},{"author_name":"Catwheel","author_uid":"46337","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:34am","epoch":1429507740,"text":"Incredible mood. The game play was strange though.

You must fight for survival, escaping the doomed space station.\r\n\r\nThe idea is a mix between Hotline Miami and the original Alien series (hence the name), featuring film-noir, Blade Runner-esque CRT monitor style art.\r\n\r\nControls are fairly simple:\r\n\r\n* WASD to move\r\n* Click to kill\r\n* Mouse to aim\r\n* Hold shift to look around\r\n\r\nI really enjoyed making this! First game I've actually finished in an unreasonably long time. I'd love to know what you think, and thanks for playing it!\r\n\r\nYou might notice a few collision detection bugs, especially with the AI. The code is absolutely awful. I'm nervous about making it public because it's so damn awful. I didn't go about 5 minutes without copy and paste.\r\n\r\nThe game was written with [Love2D](https:\/\/love2d.org\/) (using Lua). The source is on [GitHub](https:\/\/github.com\/GravityScore\/Sevastopol).\r\n\r\nP.S. It'd be great if someone could tell me if the Windows version works. I unfortunately don't have a machine to test on.","title":"Sevastopol"}
