    Well ok, partly it's probably I didn't have time to get used to the system in the time before I had to go to work this morning. I guess my biggest complaint about the difficulty is that the hit box feels gigantic compared to other shooters. If you could've made it a little smaller, and made it feel a little less like a fat kid sliding around in a roller skating rink full of crisco, it would've been really good.

    Yeah, as far as shooters go, I think the difficulty was balanced well enough

    (Sssh, sshhh, I'm still trying to vote whore here! =) )

    MY NEXT ENTRIES WILL BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE.

    voted for SO because what the hell is imperfect going to make for the next round

    also i died in the game and it's super frustrating

    that's kind of the worst possible reason.

    and also it doesn't matter anyway

    I'll be honest, this was my best idea and I used it first because HOLY FUCK SYNTHETIC ORANGE. But now I have new, better ideas. The question is, can I pull them off in time?

    (And holy shit, as of right now I'm winning at exactly 66.666666 to 33.333333. That's a heckuva ratio.)

    I'll say this much, I had stuff storyboarded for SO, so I'm trying to shift my thoughts.

    Okay, to address the "hard" issue - I tried using that bar along the bottom as your life, but then the game's too easy. So I threw in the shield and I had IT consume the bar. Yeah, it doesn't tone the difficulty down too much, and perhaps not enough, but seriously, this was difficult to balance in the time given.

    Expect further entries to also be out of whack difficulty-wise, but I guess I'll just aim at "easier" than "holy fuck insane harder".
    Nah, don't turn down the difficulty. I'm used to not being able to win at games, anyway, and probably everyone else who found it impossible is too.

    Sorry, Synth, yours was extremely funny, but the guy made a video game and put it on a video game website.

    I have plans. Though I don't have as much time, so I can't promise nuthing. If the next game ends up being a bunch of coloured blocks fighting it out, don't be too surprised.

    Hey, I voted for him and it was super awesome.


    I mean, even a little "Princess is in another Castle" or something, y'know?

    Just seems like a wasted opportunity, I guess.
