I liked it a lot, nicely done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked how you had to &quot;build up&quot; on enemies so you could destroy the tanks. It was an interesting concept."},{"author_name":"squidlarkin","author_uid":"1085","time":"Aug 23, 2010 @ 5:10am","epoch":1282539900,"text":"Good stuff! Bullets were occasionally hard to keep track of, and the tank's hitbox could stand to be a bit smaller, but I keep obsessively replaying it so you've clearly done something right."},{"author_name":"timgarbos","author_uid":"2612","time":"Aug 23, 2010 @ 5:14am","epoch":1282540140,"text":"Nice concept, very hectic and chaotic!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The controls are quite hard to master (maybe you could aim with the mouse?)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The advances way too fast. You should give people a chance to learn the game before spawning the chaotic hordes of enemies :D"},{"author_name":"madpew","author_uid":"2196","time":"Aug 23, 2010 @ 11:20am","epoch":1282562100,"text":"Starts too fast (hordes of enemies before you even got used to the controles) but besides to that a great idea. sadly no music but worth playing."},{"author_name":"Jhelle","author_uid":"2232","time":"Aug 23, 2010 @ 11:31am","epoch":1282562760,"text":"The game is pretty average and is hard.

I kept dying pretty quickly and then trying again and again."},{"author_name":"pekuja","author_uid":"110","time":"Aug 30, 2010 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1283199780,"text":"I liked the game, but there were a few major problems. One is that my keyboard doesn't handle multiple keys at once very well. This isn't your fault, but it would be nice to have an option to play with a gamepad. The other problem is that it's just really hard to dodge bullets especially when they're constantly blinking so they're harder to see. The tank rockets were really fast also, so it got very hard when there were multiple tanks on the screen."},{"author_name":"stqn","author_uid":"2181","time":"Sep 6, 2010 @ 3:23pm","epoch":1283786280,"text":"Fun game, good difficulty curve (at least for the few minutes I played it.) There's probably a bit too much blinking and stuff half-erased on screen, but I'm playing under Wine so I don't know if it's normal. Also there were slowdowns so maybe I played at a slower pace than intended... The other comments seem to imply that it's a fast game. At the speed I played, it was a bit slow but still fun, and the controls were ok."}],"images":["ld18\/1084-dbebe63c5ecbffaf5feb068aef8ff6b2.jpg","ld18\/1084-f06753036ddd6ffa55d47a3940b5ab74.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.glorioustrainwrecks.com\/files\/ManCannon.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/l.j-factor.com\/gamemaker\/MacManCannon.zip","text":"OS X"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"33699","g_author":"1084","g_event":"LD18","g_eventkey":"4","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"33729","g_title":"Man Cannon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"89","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/22150\/1084-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/22150\/1084-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A little tank game that I assembled in 10 hours.\r\n\r\nRun over enemy soldiers to load them into your tank's cannon.
