As such, I couldn't finish the first level.  On top of that, when I was dead, I was still able to shoot and move around.  I could only exit the game when I clicked the &quot;X&quot; button.  I gave it several honest attempts, but I couldn't really make it though.  On the plus side, I liked the sound effects!"},{"author_name":"mtinkerhess","author_uid":"20708","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:51am","epoch":1387165560,"text":"Unplayable -- there are no instructions for how to fire your gun. After trial and error I figured out that X fires the gun, but also kills you. Once you die you can still move around but there's no way to play the level alive again."},{"author_name":"gupta_shvm","author_uid":"10767","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 11:19am","epoch":1387192440,"text":"Fixed above problems"},{"author_name":"gupta_shvm","author_uid":"10767","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 11:20am","epoch":1387192500,"text":"Except the you can still play after you die.

I like the aesthetic though! Agree about being unable to jump over baddies. They anticipate you a wee bit too well."},{"author_name":"ricklesauceur","author_uid":"31016","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 12:04pm","epoch":1387195140,"text":"Yeah i agree with the first comment, it is a bit hard because ennemies are following you pixel perfect style.

The only level doesn't have any interesting feature. Good start for a game but much of the stuff put into the game make so little difference it is mostly wasted effort. You should try to make each thing you add count."},{"author_name":"gupta_shvm","author_uid":"10767","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 4:52am","epoch":1387774020,"text":"@tobbez Hmm makes sense.
