Audio is great and the atmosphere is spot on.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't have any problems moving, but one of the early jumps--over the very first plant--felt a bit unforgiving for such an early stage.

It seems like if you are pressing an arrow key and hit up, you catch the corner of the ledge. If you press up and then an arrow key, you do not catch it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the darkness was a little bit too much. I got to level two and was able to kill the first few guys, but then kept dying. I tried moving around to find if there was one of those red 'V' things, but didn't see anything. It is nice in these game to be able to learn from your mistakes. If you can't see anything, how can you learn? \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than a number going up, what grows with the narrator?

This is defiantly my most advanced and complete game I have ever submitted during a Ludum Dare.\r\n\r\nMY NAME IS TANNER DANIELS, AND I AM A 16 YEAR OLD DUBSTEP PRODUCER, AND THE AUDIO IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME! PLEASE VOTE KINDLEY IN AUDIO. This game features advanced vo-coding and vocal time and pitch manipulation. Creating all the vocals and such were incredibly hard, and you won't find this form of vocal-editing in ANY OTHER LD GAME!I spent a lot of time on audio.\r\n I am not a artist, and I am amazed I was able to accomplish what I did, the lighting is once of the biggest things that brings my game together.\r\n I had a lot of fun working on the gun mechanics (even though they were a pain). I am super proud that I accomplished creating a automatic gun!!!\r\n\r\nI am super excited about this game and I really hope you enjoy the game!\r\n\r\nLets get top 25 in audio this LD! (I reached #26 last LD...)\r\n\r\nControls : \r\n-Arrow keys to move \/ jump\r\n-Space bar to shoot\r\n-Click on wooden crates to open them!\r\n-Its actually pretty simple.\r\n\r\nAgain! Thankyou guys for playing! AND LETS GET TOP 25 IN AUDIO!\r\nMy soundcloud page... https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/noobstep-544260267\r\n\r\n\r\nAND JUST TO BE CLEAR!
