I really liked the intro tutorial.

Very challanging which is fun! but maybe a bit too hard :S Was hard to aim since everything was so small, and the player moved too quickly and got stuck, so it was hard to navigate through tight spots.. and often got shot from bullets which I hadn't seen yet.. Overall very fun! Would be great with some audio.. got to level 7 and got a crash :S Nice work! :)"},{"author_name":"J","author_uid":"5483","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:50am","epoch":1355744700,"text":"Nice idea; looking around to see the level is really interesting, if a little hard to get used to.  I feel like it wants to be a stealth game, where you take your time, but then you have the 20s timer, which destroys that idea and just confuses me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some notes:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- The text at the top isn't in the style of the rest of it, which means I didn't even notice it for a few minutes.\r<br\/>- As mentioned previously, it's not obvious that clicking outside the 'Exit' button restarts the level.  Also, the button appears instantly, so you can accidentally click it if you're shooting at that moment.\r<br\/>- I keep pressing space to continue to the next level for some reason - maybe make it an alias?\r<br\/>- I got a crash every now and then (when shooting a guy, I think):\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Exception in thread &quot;Main&quot; java.util.ConcurrentModificationException\r<br\/>\tat java.util.ArrayList$Itr.checkForComodification(ArrayList.java:819)\r<br\/>\tat java.util.ArrayList$Itr.next(ArrayList.java:791)\r<br\/>\tat be.zedutchgandalf.ld48.Bullet.update(Bullet.java:21)\r<br\/>\tat be.zedutchgandalf.ld48.Entity.updateEntities(Entity.java:99)\r<br\/>\tat be.zedutchgandalf.ld48.Main.run(Main.java:122)\r<br\/>\tat java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I couldn't work out what to do in the level where you start in a small room at the bottom-left.
