I liked the huge map and variety in weapons and upgrades. The shooting mechanics and the collecting of coinds feel rewarding.\n\nWhat I didn't like was the huge transaction covering the right part of the screen. Also, the enemies were walking and fyling through the thorned walls, which was annoying, because the shotgun kept shooting them through the map and I couldnt follow them. Coins and such could also be stuck in a thorn wall :\/\n\nAll in all, very satisfying!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FizzpowMike1","author_uid":"1111922","time":"2019-04-30T17:21:58Z","epoch":1556644918,"modified":1556644918,"text":"Such a fun twin stick shooter. The concept is a very direct extension of the theme, but it's super fun, so I love it. The transaction record on the side was very amusing.

The map is also needlessly large, there isn't enough content\/enemies to warrant that much space.
