In communist Russia, there is no freedom!

The game actually has 100% freedom. You can walk where-ever you want!

That was pretty great. It just had a great feel to it and I certainly got a kick out of it.

Really fun, but i noticed on my second play through the music only played in the right channel, not the left, so that was a little annoying, but the gameplay was solid and the idea was great. Also that poor hammer girl =(

Graphics are a bit choppy, and it was a bit hard to understand. But I got there in the end :) Very nice!

Faster ways to dismiss dialog would be appreciated. Awesome puzzle/shooter.

ENDESGA: Perhaps your computer is running slow. There are over 100 frames on animation. Reboot and try again and re-rate it please.

Really clever and original game! Although I do agree that that while very funny, the dialog needs to be skip-able (especially if you die).

Cool graphics. Nice humor. The music is odd in that it's panned hard right, at least on my computer. It'd be nice if the dialogue bubbles could be insta-skipped so replays are less tedious. Shooting those guys is difficult :(

Pretty cool. A bit confusing in the beginning, didn't realise you click on the person behind the counter.

Good feel, decent graphics, dialog gave me a few chuckles. :-) My only issue was the speed of the hammer. It was easy to get knocked out of range while waiting for it to swing. The bullet loot pretty much made up for it though.

CrossBread: Very much thanks for taking the time. You deserve a gold star for sticking with games for longer than 2 minutes. Not many here do that. Kudos and thank you again.

My computer doesn鈥檛 have a mouse wheel. Is there a way to bind the item selection to something else in addition to the mouse wheel?

SamH: Darn, you know I thought about it and just didn't get the time. It's not really very good with anything other than a mouse mouse. A track-pad would be tough to play with.

First thing I did with the pistol, shoot the other guy in the face -> game over. So much fun. Great work.

Best use of the theme I've run into so far! My only real complaint about the game is that dialogue bubbles can extend off the screen and it feels like I might be missing some things as a result.

At first I was getting nowhere but after a few tries I realised that there was far more to the game than at first would seem! After getting the machine gun and 2nd cigarette I tried to kill everyone to the right but had to leg it for a while. Ran to my death, like running along the beach at sunset. Beautiful. Also the girl could have been more attractive and less brutal. I'm glad they didn't hook up. Also, you can use your gun during the convo with her and she will still trade it for the hammer. Good job.

Haha geeez, so fighting's pretty much useless huh? any special reward if you do actually manage to kill them all? :P Great game! Really funny, nice graphics, fits with the theme perfectly, and the combat was pretty good fun too.

Haha, great game! "Such friendly girl" xD I laughed so much at that lol. But anyways, couldn't finish it even after a lot of retries, always ran out of bullets and the hammer was useless against the pistols' impact that moves you away from the enemies. The cigarette even restored health though xD

Really had fun playing this!

In Soviet Russia, Cigarette's smoke you!

I was looking forward for trying this ever since I've seen your smoking animation. Apart from the dialogue boxes which can't be skipped and take too much time, not much else to say but : I HATE YOU! I wanted to quit today, but after few minutes of being comrade player I'll just have to hit "save" button and then I'll go to buy more cigarettes :) (not that nicotinne starved and crazed by your game to actually get a gun and hunt other smokers in the streets :D)

One of the few games I really played for more than about 15 minutes. Really sweet artstyle and a crazy story. I ran out of bullets very soon and then ran all the way to the end, dodging bullets. Maybe a way to kill another enemy with the hammer would be nice (they are just too fast and turn around immediately, give the player half a second time to hit them or so, maybe adding a bonus achievement for killing EVERYONE with the hammer).

I enjoyed this game, one of my favorites!

Nice Game! I like how you used the theme, I love the graphics, music, and your crazy humor! :)

Like many others, I'd like to be able to skip dialogs, especially the tutorial ones, because each time you die it's sooo long to be able to play again... But very good game overall!

Really a great game, but with two huge problems:
1) Mouse wheel to change items: I have a touchpad right now, it's super annoying and not precise.
2) Shooting bullets: There's a bug where the character seems to shot bullet at a random location, it's not convenient at all to kill all the bad guys :P

Apart from that, it was quite fun, well realized and it respects the theme!

I want to know how all of this ends!!

@Everyone using a touch-pad... Really? C'mon, you wouldn't say this about an First Person Shooter. Most modern PC games are NOT designed for a touch pad. So If you rate my game based on the fact that you don't have the hardware required then you are sin-incarnate. THANK YOU :)

I really enjoyed the game, particularly the mood. I did try it many times, but was not able to kill everyone, just kept missing with the hammer after running out of bullets. Really curious to see the ending, but retries are a bit painful due to inability to skip dialogue.

Cool game, amazing! But my mouse wheel wasn't scrolled on the dialog so it was really hard for me to figure out what to do in the beginning. I think it was like that because when the game was loading i might have scrolled to see if there is more to the page. :) All in all i really like it! Well done. :)
