At first, I was cursing the fact that it isn't a twin-stick shooter, but I think that adds an important level of difficulty.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The main problem I have is the hitbox on the player character. At the moment it seems like enemies are able to kill you by touching your guns or your head. I think you'd get a lot more playability very quickly by simply reducing the size of that hitbox to cover just the area around the player's feet.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's the same problem that plagued E.T. on the Atari 2600 - you could fall down a pit by touching it with the top of your head, when your feet were nowhere near!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from that, I actually enjoyed the few minutes I spent with the game. Fun back-story and tight controls. Well done."},{"author_name":"Msquirrel","author_uid":"17911","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1418138520,"text":"This game is quite challenging, however, the direction of diagonal shooting did slightly bug me :\/ All in all, a little more polish and maybe some refinement on the controls and I'd like to see a post compo version!"},{"author_name":"nov1kk","author_uid":"46977","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:30pm","epoch":1418138700,"text":"Funny but so hard!!"},{"author_name":"grid96","author_uid":"45476","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:41pm","epoch":1418139360,"text":"Really hard, but fun to play.

As is you barely have time to acclimate yourself to the game before it gets going. I do like that you're playing on John's screen, though! That's a concept that could be played on to great effect."},{"author_name":"rogberth","author_uid":"8913","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:00pm","epoch":1418140500,"text":"The power ups it's what makes it really enjoyable! good job"},{"author_name":"sirival","author_uid":"29447","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 8:32am","epoch":1418200020,"text":"Challenging - nice backstory!"},{"author_name":"lion123","author_uid":"34143","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 2:17pm","epoch":1418220720,"text":"Sounds are too loud, but other than that not a bad game"},{"author_name":"Wir","author_uid":"33937","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1418221620,"text":"I feel like that this would be way more fun if the player would have more that one live.

And it even has an intro! I have a suggestion though:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The hitbox for the character right now is a rectangle the size of the sprite, which enables the enemies to kill you by touching the air next to your leg and below your arms. A smaller hitbox would make things a bit fairer since in a game like this every pixel counts :D"},{"author_name":"TriSquare","author_uid":"45249","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 1:07am","epoch":1418259720,"text":"Good job, I like the design, also shooting thing is always fun!"},{"author_name":"drilltail","author_uid":"23253","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 8:06am","epoch":1418544060,"text":"Fun game, reached 27 multiple times.
