The minecraft skill is really funny. The screenshaking effect makes the shoots seem even more powerful. xD"},{"author_name":"lincore","author_uid":"29939","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 11:42am","epoch":1387193820,"text":"Going on a killing spree is always fun :~) ... in games I mean. \r<br\/>I took the shotgun and ignored the other skills after finding out that you can't swap back (or can you?). With the standard gun I died almost instantly. A little grace period before the enemies start eating your flesh or whatever would have been nice, I always had to scan the level for my character before I could start shooting stuff. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall: Nice game! Atrocious title music! (look who's talking, I didn't even try to make some for my game)"},{"author_name":"Stals","author_uid":"25969","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:14pm","epoch":1387217340,"text":"Game is really fun, but i think you move way too slow (or maybe i didn't find the run button?) so i was using knockback effect to move faster =).

Found I could kind of cheat a bit and shoot through walls with the shotgun and the machine gun so I used that to my advantage for sure. In game music is really tough to listen to, but I did like the main menu music. I wish base movement speed was a bit faster for sure.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One other Ludum Dare process thing, you mentioned that you used some sounds from freesound.org.
