Thanks for playing and all the frank feedback!
It seems the gun mechanics are a sticking point for people so I'll see what I can do to tweak that, along with the other areas of the game you listed regarding menus and using them. Was already aware of it but having to look at that code and get it all to work again after changes fills me with apprehension. But it is clear from feedback that it needs to get done.
Again, thanks for playing and all the feedback you gave; really appreciate it. Will watch the VOD once I am able to.
