Let's give some bad and good comments.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Bad:\r<br\/>-Graphics are a bit incomplete in areas like the background and title(which has a few typos).\r<br\/>-After a while, having tons of weapons at once starts to not make any sense. Then again, many games don't make sense...\r<br\/>-The enemies get stuck in corners sometimes and behave weird.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good:\r<br\/>+It's definitely a brilliant concept, and it isn't too hard to imagine this being really great.\r<br\/>+The weapons choosing system works flawlessly."},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 5:56pm","epoch":1356198660,"text":"Nice music, and a somewhat fun game. The link to the theme is a bit tenous - you could improve it by using enemies that reinforce your idea of &quot;a villain stealing artifacts&quot;.
