Boring and um.... as you said pointless
First of all, the gun doesn't move fast enough, so you get tired of dying continuously by aiming at the dudes in the air, so you just shoot the guys on the ground. MY GOD, its boring as hell. And the continous scrolling bores into my head as a fat gopher trying to rip my brains to pieces. Dude, just don't submit an unfinished product. And, man, Your graphics could of been complete crap and I wouldn't care as long as it was actually FUN. No offense, I recognize that you probably spent a lot of time on this, but hey, I liked mario :'(. He was groovy man! And having him use a shotgun instead of jumping on there heads made it incredibly boring. How bout we focus on something more worthless? pop culture for instance? anyways, its possibly on the road to being groovy, but as I said: preview... maybe.... halfway done project thats not complete.... how bout no scott. no offense, keep trying, stay groovy.
P.S. jumping would be nice :)
