This definitely was interesting to play! I'm not great (by a long shot) but it was fun to mess around for a bit and see how I could do. One question though, in the game, it mentions you keep all the points if the marble breaks, but this doesn't seem to be happening. Bug? Changed feature? Either way, really cool game (and I'm definitely gonna see how some of my friends who play more fps games fare at it)!

@Bookworm31 oh yeah I should probably rethink the wording on that... The marble is supposed to reset to 0 points, but when it breaks, those points get saved in the "total kills" stat at the end, so they don't just disappear.

As you can probably tell by the jumbled mess of instructions both in-game and in my post, I need to work on having a better, concise intro that properly explains the game :shrug:

I like playing it :) Cool game.

There are many instructions before starting, this affraid me a bit but in game it's was quite easy to understand.

We miss some sounds and feedback to really appreciate the "shoot" feeling.

Edit : Also, right click it's not the best idea for a web-browser game, it show "browser" parameters.

@harusame Wow you're right, I didn't even realize that the right-click didn't work in the HTML5 version! Thanks for pointing that out, I've taken it down so only the Windows version can be played. I should've probably tested it first...lol

I really like the idea to avoid bullets with the cursor. The instructions are a little bit complex but you get into it pretty fast. Good job and good use of the theme. :)

Pretty interesting and original gameplay mechanic :) Works well with a leaderboard, it's a good game for competitive play.

A very strange game with a lot of different mechanics. Nonetheless, I thought it was pretty fun. However, I don't really understand what most of the sniper upgrades do -- especially things like weapon level and bullet size, given that it seems like the only thing you're doing is clicking on enemies who are insta-killed. I also didn't manage to get really any of the blue ball upgrades -- it was really easy to click on it my accident, although I suppose that's just part of the gameplay.

In any case, I like the sheer strangeness of the game, and it does actually work pretty well.
