Post Scriptum: It may not be wise to allow the weapon overload.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post Scriptum2: Also it may not be wise to shoot the Ununoctium tanks with it, you know the blue things you keep bitching about that doesn't resemble anything.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post Scriptum3: And no, i can't test it myself. Like i have said before i stuff to do. And for the last time: THEY AREN'T related to GTA V PC version.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post Scriptum4: WHAT YOU MEAN HOW YOU WALK? ARE YOU FOR REAL?!? it's awsd/arrows.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post Scriptum5: What you mean "how i shoot?", You need to concentrate in your target using the mouse. The ray takes some time to fire. Why? because like this feel like a Kamehameha. Also the more charged the weapon is, more it can sustain unleashing the laser.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Real notes now: The Post Scriptum were going to be in game messages/tips you receive after you die. Since i got no time. I will throw it here. Ok?
There's 5 stages with the 6潞 being a hordemode that restart a bit harder each time you beat it.
You can keep playing it forever! Nah, not really at a moment you will die because the screen has too many stuff.


Edit version 1.1(fix version) :

Less sticky situation, walls no longer hug you.(But you still lose speed when trying to go through it.)

"Escape" Now quit the game.

Add Linux and Mac Version. Since i'm noob in both can someone check if it actually works? Thx.

A bit to oo hard to kill enemies.Sometimes i was dead without even colliding with enemies :S.Other that that i liked the idea of having themost overpowered weapon of the world in my arms :)

Took me a bit to figure out the room with the blue tanks. Hm... I like the idea where you have to shoot the laser or you die but you can't hit certain objects. Got caught on the walls a lot and couldn't move. Overall cool idea.

Pretty hard game. I barely made it to level 3, once I figured out, that waiting for the laser to charge unfortunately isn't the right tactic, as the enemies are way faster.

XD.
I'm curious about how ppl feel about the "lack" of ingame information.
I mean, the game was build around the mechanics of the weapon.
So instead of coming and saying exactly how the weapon work i decided to make the player "discover". The game would give some hints but mostly the player would have to discover the mechanics.

I enjoy when i feel that the game is unfair, and then i figure out the game's mechanics and see that the game isn't that unfair.

I would like to know the opinion of you guys on that decision.

The weapon recharge time seemed overly long and sometimes I had to click multiple times to fire. Hitboxes were a bit off too. It was an interesting concept but needed more variety.

The fact that the weapon destroys walls and changes AI movement is very interesting. I think the game could be a lot better with a little explanation on how the weapon works.

I are death.

I was expecting the laser to feel more powerful after reading your description... instead it felt kind-of underpowered. I think the game could use some faster pacing. Waiting for the laser to load isn't terribly fun. I want to shoot things! Pew Pew!

Interesting idea. Made it to level 3, but I seemed to die randomly (at first due to laser hitting max charge, later due to unknown circumstances).
