I had to play this all the way through and I was not disappointed by the finale. Love the graphics and the sounds and most of all the gameplay and level design. The only flaw I could find was that it was possible to exploit the health powerup respawn in a couple of places. I got lost once or twice but it was a good kind of lost, the kind of lost you want to be in an oldschool sprawling top-down shooter. This is pretty much the perfect Ludum Dare entry."},{"author_name":"Berserker_Chris","author_uid":"52858","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 3:37pm","epoch":1461079920,"text":"Good game, tried to roll with right click like enter the gundeon."},{"author_name":"Raptorij","author_uid":"92575","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 7:08am","epoch":1461135780,"text":"good job!"},{"author_name":"Dread_Lord369","author_uid":"54265","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 7:16am","epoch":1461136260,"text":"I loved it!

The shooting sound got a bit repetitive by the end of the game, and the screenshake was a bit too much, but it was very fun.

Why is the final boss a computer?"},{"author_name":"Weeping Rupee","author_uid":"60016","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 7:19am","epoch":1461136440,"text":"Very polished, makes great use of animations for firing and stuff that reminds me of nuclear throne. Enemy types are varied and interesting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyone else have a constant strafing problem? I thought it was bc of my gamepad controller at first but after unplugging I still strafed right always. Even with this problem I enjoyed playing which speaks to how fun the game feels\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My one criticism is that this seems kinda shoe-horned in to fit the theme of shape shifting. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still, this is a very well executed game.

I got a strong case of &quot;Been there, done that&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The biggest issue here is the lack of thematic exploration. You could have gone with shape-shifting abilities, weapons, enemies, environments; there are so many options. Yet here the theme is only seen in the backstory blurb, which is to say not in the game proper. Disappointing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then again, maybe you just wanted to create a simple game that feels good to play.
