It seems like a shooter that's got way too much randomness (shoot direction, "enemy" appearance) and too little player interaction. Just move and shoot.

Great work finishing! \r\rFeedback:\r- I'm not sure why I would have to stop in the game. The sprockets don't fire often enough for me to need to stop to avoid any. \r- Bolt\/bullet speed takes the wrench's movement into account. If you removed your speed from the bullet, and made it move a little faster, the consistency in bullet speed would allow you to time your shots to hit the sprockets. Right now it's just a little too unpredictable for that and it ruins some of the fun for me.\r- After a while I found things to be a bit repetitive. Maybe even just another visual of a sprocket would have kept things interesting. Or maybe a power up of some kind that you have to shoot to pick up? Bouncy bullets, or rapid fire. there are a lot of options you can try =) \r\r\rOverall though, the game is playable and complete. Well done!"},{"author_name":"MrJoshuaMcLean","author_uid":"61811","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:58pm","epoch":1450212780,"text":"Maybe I'm missing something? The movement drains like crazy once I budge just a little bit.

The HTML5 version operates pretty much the same as the Windows version. The Android version if different, you have an auto-fire and you touch the screen to move around but the game mechanics are the same (Motion runs out, or you get hit by a sproket it's game over and it's double tap to restart) {Please note, the Android version has no special permissions, but has to be side-loaded into your cell phone, and is set for version 2.2 and up)\r\n\r\nI have tried my HTML5 version in various browsers, some need a 'refresh' to start it loading (don't know why). Worked in MS Edge with no issues.\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy it, constructive criticism and positive feedback will be appreciated.","title":"Survive"}
