I wish the walls were less sticky.

That's a fair complain. XD
I wonder if i can fix it...

Boring

A bit to oo hard to kill enemies.Sometimes i was dead without even colliding with enemies :S.Other that that i liked the idea of having themost overpowered weapon of the world in my arms :)

Took me a bit to figure out the room with the blue tanks. Hm... I like the idea where you have to shoot the laser or you die but you can't hit certain objects. Got caught on the walls a lot and couldn't move. Overall cool idea.

Pretty hard game. I barely made it to level 3, once I figured out, that waiting for the laser to charge unfortunately isn't the right tactic, as the enemies are way faster.

XD.
I'm curious about how ppl feel about the "lack" of ingame information.
I mean, the game was build around the mechanics of the weapon.
So instead of coming and saying exactly how the weapon work i decided to make the player "discover". The game would give some hints but mostly the player would have to discover the mechanics.

I enjoy when i feel that the game is unfair, and then i figure out the game's mechanics and see that the game isn't that unfair.

I would like to know the opinion of you guys on that decision.

The weapon recharge time seemed overly long and sometimes I had to click multiple times to fire. Hitboxes were a bit off too. It was an interesting concept but needed more variety.

The fact that the weapon destroys walls and changes AI movement is very interesting. I think the game could be a lot better with a little explanation on how the weapon works.

I are death.

I was expecting the laser to feel more powerful after reading your description... instead it felt kind-of underpowered. I think the game could use some faster pacing. Waiting for the laser to load isn't terribly fun. I want to shoot things! Pew Pew!

@Alexbrainbox

Could you check if it works now?

Interesting idea. Made it to level 3, but I seemed to die randomly (at first due to laser hitting max charge, later due to unknown circumstances).
