The gameplay needs a bit of work. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some issues I encountered: \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If ammo is going to be limited, there needs to be frequent ammo refills, at least in the first level. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I die and go back to the beginning of the level (which takes exactly one hit), the ammo doesn't reset. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The crawly enemies on the ground are unreachable as I cannot duck.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>An opening screen with some expository text might have been helpful."},{"author_name":"Shadow","author_uid":"4250","time":"May 13, 2012 @ 4:18am","epoch":1336882380,"text":"Nice platformer.
