the game was overall a really, really good one, but i got i qualm:
I think that last gun, the Boom-thingie, could have been a bit better. too long reload and poor range for such an expensive weapon. not denying the strength though, but i would usually find better results with the Light Machine Gun.
Fun game though, i made it out in day 2, 3 pm-ish.

@newbzoors narh, they kept coming even when i had the uzi out.

@Andreas, you can quick switch between weapons, just press their corresponding numbers..

I liked the game, was hard trying to get the achievement of escaping before the fourth day, for me anyway, but as everyone else said, the rest was a piece of cake.

This made me think, most of John’s recent creations have been part of an ongoing theme. I hate traffic after I love traffic, Obey! The Game was from an ongoing elephant theme from other past ones, and this is the third Mr Tophat game. I just found it interesting

Ok now this is a weird glitch that i dont see how you missed. It may only happen for me. When I hold the uzi, all the enemies stop. They only move if im shooting. This basically made it so that I can reload the uzi without anything attacking me. Is anyone else getting this glitch?

Really like the game. Very entertaining. But, once again, extremely easy. Liked the big monsters.

There is a very exploitable glitch where you can jump, press sleep, stop sleeping and you can walk on air. you can repeat the process to get higher and higher and because enemies cannot attack you, you are basically invincible. All sorts of easy kills can be had with this.

Actually non of the code was really recycled, there’s probably a good 4,000 lines of code in there written specifically for this project. The character art is obviously going to be the same since its the same character, enemies have been expanded upon (3-4 new enemies over the 4 that existed in Next Floor).

Enemies used the attack the fort but it sucked. It made me never want to build my fort because they would just knock it down.

Oh. And enemies should be able to destroy your fort.

It feels like there should be some boss with like 25 million HP for the people who don’t want to just fly away as soon as they can. Just before wave 30 the timeline glitches and repeats from wave 21.
