Since the original version was released it has received over 60,000 plays on newgrounds as well as post on Indie Statik and Gameological Sawbuck Gamer. The full version takes what the original had and makes it into something so much better, much prettier and much less a game jam game and more a real arcade game.

I'm sorry man, but you should try harder before releasing a game for hard earned money. At least put up an animation when you die or something.

A death animation takes time and becomes punishing for a player who dies alot. And since this game involves people often dying alot. I made a conscious decision to not have this game feel punishing. You die and boom respawn instantly. No punish.

That's a very lazy decision and argument, particle explosions for death and even spawning would be better than nothing. Animations aren't the only issue either.
