It would help to put crosshairs on the mouse position to make aiming easier, and something that I think would also be good is to have a different color for enemy bullets so they don't blend in with your own. All in all, I had some fun with it and it's definitely a take on the theme that I haven't seen anyone else think of so far :)"},{"author_name":"van noctar","author_uid":"21196","time":"Dec 27, 2013 @ 3:30pm","epoch":1388157900,"text":"Very difficult !
