The music and effects are very simplistic, but they match the theme well enough. Overall from a presentation standpoint this is very well done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The movement unfortunately feels bogged-down and with the tiny playfield it is quite a bit too constrained and awkward to roam around. Sometimes physics things happen while I have no idea what caused them, which can be pretty confusing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I could see this becoming a very fun little party game to play with friends if it were made to be just a lot quicker, requiring more swift reactions and movement to compete in thrashing the buildings."},{"author_name":"kaitokidi","author_uid":"42118","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:16pm","epoch":1440436260,"text":"Nice, but should have more time between the attacks, and maybe different levels and difficulties. \r<br\/>Great job anyway : )"},{"author_name":"Andrew Adams","author_uid":"20321","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1440437280,"text":"@Shinmera - Thanks for the feedback.

The controls are a bit light as mentioned above, but I guess that's normal for a 72 hour game :)\r<br\/>Also maybe you can add a silhouette of the monsters, when they're behind or inside the building, I think it should be very subtle, but can increase the gameplay."},{"author_name":"Andrew Adams","author_uid":"20321","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:19pm","epoch":1440450840,"text":"@iossif thanks for coming back and playing it again.

Basically felt like Pac-man with ghosts that simply teleports you back to the last checkpoint without taking away a life.  The music was a bit repetitive as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For some reason, when I played, there were no shadows, so jumps were hard to tell.  Additionally, it was hard to tell the range that the fire action had.  Without the shadows, it was hard to tell whether the fire action did anything, even when it hit a character and knocked them off the screen.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Incidentally, it was really confusing in the beginning when all the CPU takes over.
