hi bashindan, thanks for playing. Your idea of 2 barrels at the start is a great suggestion, we will try that post-jam.
For the obstacles in Put boss and Bartender map, they are designed as cover for player (from Pit boss charge and Bartender molotov), but maybe the placement is not great so you feel it awkward.
Can i ask the SMG you mentioned is from the normal archetype barrel (that you got at the start) or from the Automatic archetype? Maybe it just a bad number and we can tune it down. The current recoil system is also quite rudimentary and need to be upgraded.
Thanks for the feedback!
