The audio is also pretty minimal, but I think that's to a detriment--it's sort of difficult to accurately tell when you've hit something or when you've been hit since there isn't a ton of feedback. I also think there could be more towards the theme, since \"the game gets harder the longer you play it\" is a pretty common mechanic even outside of this LD.\n\nControls feel very good! I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but I enjoy how I can infinitely air strafe around, and shooting feels precise enough. I also do like the scattered crates around the base--took me a while to realize that they could successfully be used as cover.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"justinooncx","author_uid":"1007921","time":"2017-12-25T06:15:35Z","epoch":1514182535,"modified":1514182535,"text":"That's a really polished game you guys have there! Great graphics, and the game ran nice and smooth~ Still, it was rather difficult to see the theme in this; it doesn't seem that score affects the difficulty, just killing the planes spawns bigger, stronger ones in their place. Also, the enemies don't seem to target the silo at all. Other than that, a really neat game, well done!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"StratosKakalis","author_uid":"1052892","time":"2017-12-26T13:31:07Z","epoch":1514295067,"modified":1514295168,"text":"Such a pity more people didnt play this game, it really is a great submission! I tried it on my laptop and I'm probably going to later install it on my desktop to play a bit more and I am a very hard to please gamer, I guess i have a soft-spot for FPS though :\/. Please do advertise and get people to play your game in the little time left. it is a pity for your work to go unnoticed especially if you dont get ranked because that way you get actual feedback from the testers. Good luck!\n(Edit: you are probably interested to know that there is a UI glitch -health of the planes- when i aim with the sniper-looking gun)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FuriousWitch","author_uid":"1009708","time":"2017-12-26T14:06:43Z","epoch":1514297203,"modified":1514297203,"text":"Great work you did there guys :) To be honest, I'm not great in this kind of games (FPS) so I kinda failed miserably over and over. So maybe its too difficult or maybe it's just me. Maybe you can add different levels of difficulty so that it suits everyone. \n\nRegardless, the game looks fantastic, the sound effects are decent, and the gameplay itself is great.

Fantastic graphics, presentation and a very smooth control scheme (auto reloading would have been appreciated, but otherwise, it all still fills great, rather than stiff).\n\nI like the variety of enemies and that there's some difference between the weapons. I particularly liked the sniper, and was impressed that it actually had a scope function. Just fantastic. A bit off that these are the weapons of choice to fight against planes, bombers and zeppelins, but I'll take it.\n\nThemewise... well, it's just generic \"difficulty ramps up\" gameplay. Wouldn't say it's the best use of the theme. You might as well just ignore it and focus on showing off the game for what it is. An objective defense scenario with multiple guns against an unstoppable airstrike.\n\nGreat job there. [My team](twitter.com\/whalesandgames) wishes you the best for your future projects!
