To be honest I really hadn't considered tracking pads when making the game, I'll be sure to keep that in mind better next time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the lack of direction that simply got dropped as the time was running out but the game is easy enough to replay. It's not exactly user friendly but it is kind of funny to me having your character die within the first five seconds and having to figure out what went wrong."},{"author_name":"Venks","author_uid":"13781","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:49am","epoch":1387327440,"text":"Nothing like a good ol challenge.

Initially confusing at first, consider perhaps adding instructions to the main menu page.  The action occurs so quickly that I feel there's a bit too much random chance involved, though I did get to add a few swords to my belt by the time I was done playing.  A bit too much of a pause after each kill\/death.  Nice audio, good background art.  Thanks for putting this up for critique!"},{"author_name":"Chaoseiro","author_uid":"26838","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 2:34am","epoch":1387333740,"text":"Nice game, challenging for sure!"},{"author_name":"TeamFlare","author_uid":"25793","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 5:23am","epoch":1387689480,"text":"love the game, after i played it 20 times and undestood how to massacre the other one :P i also like the music and the whole atmosphere :)"},{"author_name":"jimmypaulin","author_uid":"6965","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 7:12pm","epoch":1387825620,"text":"&quot;Not a valid WIN32 executable&quot; :(("},{"author_name":"jimmypaulin","author_uid":"6965","time":"Dec 24, 2013 @ 12:16pm","epoch":1387887060,"text":"Works for me with your new executable!
