Impressive that you managed to do some modeling and rigging and animating and coding, so don’t feel bad about not finishing, and focus on the lessons learned, that’s the spirit!"},{"author_name":"radmars","author_uid":"18627","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 7:37pm","epoch":1440963120,"text":"ha! Game or not I had a good laugh! (those soldiers dieing man... haha) The robot and the character sprites are both awesome, keep it up for next time!

It's still fun to shoot them (and listen to them yell "My spleen!"). Obviously the complaint here is that you didn't finish making it a game because you were too ambitious. The good side is that what you did finish is very well done, particularly since you were learning something new while doing it.
