Good points made I think. It is a bit slow to get going as an incentive not to stop running, despite how dangerous that approach is :)\r\r@Jayjay Ha, yes maybe I got a little caught between moody\/dark and sci-fi silliness.\r@avh4 Yeah cover is not totally safe; there is a bit of your head sticking out still. Probably a bit harsh on the player.\r@CustomPhase Teleporting can get you onto a higher\/lower platform, escape a place you might be a bit stuck in or even dodge missiles."},{"author_name":"3ndo","author_uid":"533","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:49pm","epoch":1377531840,"text":"Cover mechanic is pretty good. It's nice when you decide to risk it and it pays off. Avoiding use of the upper levels, as I tend to get stuck. Teleporting is a nice twist.
