I've also used rythm with arrow keys on my game entry.\rI liked the way you created the upgrading choice. I missed a way to compare my current equipment with the one I'm about to choose, though. \rI also felt that choosing "+1 live" is a generally better than others powerups, which make the choice a little bit unbalanced.\rIn overall the game is pretty neat, and the music fits the ambient nicely."},{"author_name":"zconnelly13","author_uid":"3372","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:54pm","epoch":1387212540,"text":"I really enjoyed this game :) I was confused about the robots moving before I completed a series of arrows at first. I also was unsure about when I was hitting my mark. Some sort of visual to show when I hit an arrow (maybe the white line turns a color and the arrow turns a color or something simple) would be a great addition and make the game more enjoyable :) Great work!"},{"author_name":"Tanner","author_uid":"26780","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:24pm","epoch":1387214340,"text":"Really nice game :)"},{"author_name":"Nik Sudan","author_uid":"8717","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1387218360,"text":"Haha, I really liked this!

I thought that sound would be enough, but that's not true. If I make a better version after LD, I'll take all of your remarks.\rAnother thing I'm afraid is a chance, that unbalance could ruined a bit experience - some of you could not see none of two endings. :)"},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:17pm","epoch":1387228320,"text":"Ha, saw that ending coming.\r\rOverall pretty nice game, the fighting could perhaps be bit more difficult, as the arrows just arrive in one straight line and are pretty easy to hit.

I was disappointed that it's so damn difficult to get to the end with all your original parts. I think you should give the option to retain one of your parts every turn to make getting to the end looking like yourself not so damn RNG dependant."},{"author_name":"Tonasz","author_uid":"25257","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 9:14pm","epoch":1387314540,"text":"Thank you guys, I'll definitely make the updated version (ofc second, out of compo) with at least better visual feedback, stats comparison and bounding boxes.
