oh my god nevermind the lag makes this game nigh unplayable. backlogging this (which is a shame that ill have to stick to gameplay videos, i was having a really fun time once i figured shit out)

I FIGURED IT OUT YAYAYA!! it's a tactical shooter, as ive realized, so i cant just rush in and shoot up enemies like ive been doing ... i gotta think as i run. i did have to quit on the level i was previously stuck on because the fps dropped so low, though, and lag hinders me more often than …

i am going to continue, however, because i love the graphics, the concept, etc... it's very unique and sticks out amongst other boomer shooters. i wanna see where this goes, and i do like it!
