Way better than mine haha. Did you use the free version of GameMaker? If so ill use it next time."},{"author_name":"Kaltic","author_uid":"55972","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:16am","epoch":1440389460,"text":"@Somfin - Definitely. I focused on other stuff and it was  a bit too late before I attempted to fix that issue. I tried modifying where the player was and that just didn't work (or broke too much).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@haloguy397 - Yep, free version."},{"author_name":"Jimbly","author_uid":"55346","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:17am","epoch":1440389520,"text":"Neat!  Controls feel a bit wonky - if instead I kept moving along the the same wall around a corner as long as continued holding a button, it might feel really smooth."},{"author_name":"inurashii","author_uid":"57795","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:18am","epoch":1440389580,"text":"Really innovative idea, and pretty well balanced! I feel as though the game moved a little slow -- speeding player and enemies up might not be a bad idea, and the game started to drag near the end (especially as it's a bit too easy right now). Soundtrack really got on my nerves, but the sound effects were good."},{"author_name":"guoboism","author_uid":"24432","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:49am","epoch":1440391440,"text":"Intresting. Harsh images and style, but also have a lot details made like the fail sound, all the little animations.\r<br\/>The game could be better is have some focus, like a powerful pickup somewhere or a critical enemy."},{"author_name":"dalbinblue","author_uid":"13960","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:51am","epoch":1440391560,"text":"I like the mechanic of the chain reaction, it wasn't necessary to use, but was a nice addition.  I would love to see some level designs were you had to think through the level layout and use the chain reactions specifically to hit all the humans (for example, placing a human far enough out of range that the only way to attack is through a chain).  Other than that, the controls and gameplay were smooth, though if you play cautiously it's a fairly easy game.  I will admit though, balancing a game with this small an amount of time is super hard."},{"author_name":"markoburzan27","author_uid":"54919","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:56am","epoch":1440391860,"text":"fun, i lost tho"},{"author_name":"peterkirk","author_uid":"42239","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:42am","epoch":1440394620,"text":"It took me a bit to get used to it but it felt satisfying when I finally got them all.

A slight increase in player speed and the ability to continue moving around a corner while holding a button would just give that little oomph to controls. All in all a really cool idea &amp; game."},{"author_name":"WubAlliance","author_uid":"54258","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 5:12pm","epoch":1440522420,"text":"Very fun game!

It made me carefully strategize on how to approach the enemies.  I think the game was a bit on the easy side.  Maybe the e-attack range was a bit generous.
