The sounds from sfxr feel very familiar in jam games and the shooting and gameplay are extremely common. The timed aspect is something as well more common and of course the reference to a non-winning theme as joke character.\r\rAll very impressive in the time limit and I want to give big thumbs up. At the same time I'm bookmarking this as the species reference for gamin tropes 2014.
