Here are some tips tho: Parent the gun to the cam, so that it looks where it shoots, set the player on a diffrent layer and set your cam to ignore it. So you get a shadow without seeing your own body. Also a crosshair would be nice :) I hope that helped ^^"},{"author_name":"ChronusZ","author_uid":"10652","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:00pm","epoch":1429545300,"text":"Nice concept. I feel like the puzzles could have been better designed to show off the potential of the mechanics, though (Something where you need to turn on a platform at one point and then later turn it off again, for example)."},{"author_name":"DarkMeatGames","author_uid":"34345","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:05pm","epoch":1429545600,"text":"Cool idea. Nicely polished. One of the few entries that wasn't frustrating to beat. I wished I had a cross hair during some parts. Overall, pretty solid entry. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"dyfer","author_uid":"50857","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:43am","epoch":1429591080,"text":"not bad idea, like the level design"},{"author_name":"PyroSneak","author_uid":"22612","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:24pm","epoch":1429629540,"text":"Fun game, short and sweet. really liked the mechanics, would be cool to see a longer version of it"},{"author_name":"Bitterdeath","author_uid":"7698","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 6:43am","epoch":1429684680,"text":"I wanted more levels. :) Great concept and level layout.

I wish there were more different uses for the gun. Just switching walkways on and gates off isn't very interesting."},{"author_name":"panurge","author_uid":"21166","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:14pm","epoch":1429722540,"text":"A neat idea, nicely executed. The puzzle difficulty and learning curve was spot on. The tutorial text was really well presented and in later levels had a touch of portal about it. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>With a little more polish (and less annoying music!), this could be made into a really satisfying full game."},{"author_name":"Romixal","author_uid":"50537","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:17pm","epoch":1429722720,"text":"Aiming is a little bit hard, and projectiles flies through colored walls, but it's a very interesting concept."},{"author_name":"farnsworth2","author_uid":"36721","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1429723680,"text":"Well polished and a solid idea. Some way to know where the shot would go would be nice, perhaps a laser pointer or just a target on the center of the screen. The levels could have been a little bit more difficult, with more use of the game mechanic (Switching things on and off through other platforms, ect). It's also a little confusing to be able to switch to ammo types you don't have."},{"author_name":"Chaoseed","author_uid":"1161","time":"May 1, 2015 @ 11:02am","epoch":1430477820,"text":"Kudos for making an entire first-person puzzler in a weekend! It's a neat idea, a fun few minutes, although I'm not sure the mechanic has enough design space for an entire game. Also, I couldn't figure out how to invert the mouse, which was annoying."},{"author_name":"amras0000","author_uid":"47448","time":"May 2, 2015 @ 6:05am","epoch":1430546400,"text":"Main nitpick would be the lack of a crosshair. It's a solid game otherwise, well-polished, explored several mechanics, and felt like it ended just when it needed to.
