Could only get to level 7 though :p.\r\rThe ball mechanic was quite cool. It ended up making the longshots be a high risk, high reward play due to the exceptionally high damage they could cause, at the risk of being attacked while your monster is offscreen.\r\rThe procedural generation works really well. I didn't realize that it was being generated until after I finished playing the game, and re-read the description."},{"author_name":"Resonious","author_uid":"38940","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1440430980,"text":"The audio was pretty quiet for me, but that's no huge deal.

They're almost too slow to be useful. \rI understand the point of the camera tracking the ball after you shoot, but often times I'd find myself dead, or very near death after trying to shoot an enemy.\r\rOverall:\rOne of the best games I have played so far. Out of 18 so far, this is 1 of 2 that has made my favorites list. Excellent job."},{"author_name":"Juin","author_uid":"51472","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:38pm","epoch":1440592380,"text":"Thanks for the feedback, i know it barely fits the theme that's because i found the theme to only be accomplishable with art and art is not my strong suit as you can see in the game.\r\rThe main point of the bombs is to blow up walls to give yourself a better position or even find a shortcut that's why i made them so slow i didn't really want them to be used for long range combat.\r\rAnd the camera thing is a risk\/reward play you can always cancel your ball with space, but if you let it bounce way off screen you risk yourself getting hit."},{"author_name":"Divitos","author_uid":"9732","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 10:37pm","epoch":1440628320,"text":"I really loved the bullet mechanic!
