Love the blood-cleaning mechanic. It wasn't very challenging near the end once I had the powerups. I would have liked it if there was some kind of reward for never causing a panic, since that tends to be a much harder way to finish a level. Still, the graphics were lovely (the monotone colors make the blood stand out -- stylish)."},{"author_name":"Pent","author_uid":"17809","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:07pm","epoch":1355770920,"text":"I really love this one"},{"author_name":"Edocentrique","author_uid":"18304","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:22pm","epoch":1355771820,"text":"I like a lot of things in this game !"},{"author_name":"Hazel","author_uid":"3026","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 8:33pm","epoch":1355776080,"text":"Oh my gosh!

Any time a target sees blood or a murder, the panic level will increase. If the panic level gets too high, the targets will avoid you and the cops will chase and shoot you.\r\n\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nWASD\/cursor keys to move\r\nSPACE to attack\r\nSHIFT to clean<\/p>","title":"Bertie the Butcher"}
