Fsgsg, GM 8.1 is buggy

Posted by Pirate-rob on Feb. 12, 2014, 2:49 p.m.

Sorry if this is written badly, copied it straight from notepad.

Abysmal-

It's very fun and feels like a survival game in an arcade game.

Posted by Pirate-rob on Dec. 10, 2012, 5:10 a.m.

Well I thought it would be fun, as the Ludum dare is coming up, to have a quick 5 min jam to see how my skills are. That was the longest 5 minutes in my whole life! 12 minutes to be precise. When I reached the 5 minute mark I …
