That helps both readability and game-feel.\n\nAlso, it would be nice to know what the item I just picked up does without having to check the pause menu, and also it would be good to know the negative ramifications of each sacrifice without having to check.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"alec","author_uid":"1013678","time":"2018-12-06T04:03:14Z","epoch":1544068994,"modified":1544068994,"text":"Nice game! I liked the randomness with each playthrough. The bullets were pretty small and sometimes hard to see. And I agree with irock where the sacrifices could have been a bit more intense.

If I continue to work on the game I think I will definitely add a notification system displaying what stats have changed at the top of the screen. A good way that I think I will balance wounds would be to add in a system where acquiring additional wounds when you are at max to cause hp loss, this will hopefully help along with other changes to make it more of a strategic sacrifice!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Luis Giron","author_uid":"1000586","time":"2018-12-06T04:22:44Z","epoch":1544070164,"modified":1544070164,"text":"I want more of this, the concept is really cool,the gameplay is very polish and it's a quite addictive and challenging.

P is very far away, perhaps having it as e or r. Another thing is just have the player automatically pick up the items after they make a choice, and perhaps just telling the player when they pick it up what it does. \n\nOverall though pretty interesting. I think it happened that when I played it I would collect things that basically negated things I lost, so in the end I just rushed through quickly until I found the exit. I would still collect the chests though just to see what I would get. Since if the game is completely balanced, then the player status would never actually changes - this kind of happens since everything you get feels random, but still interesting to see what is in the chest. \n\nThe AI shot much faster than me, but still not too hard to avoid. Could be interesting to see enemies that traded off something big to be really strong in something else.
