It was tuned really well, I'd say! I hadn't noticed the guns turning slower, but if felt good. Running away in a panic from those little critters reminded me of the film Runaway, which absolutely terrified me as a kid.
Gotta love happy accidents! And agreed that the added risk factor was a nice element of stress. I just tried hooking up a controller and it does works in the browser, wildly. (The dpad, not the joystick.)
Also, I forgot to mention, really enjoyed your humor in the game! 😌
