You can then post your feedback here to share with others, as there is no risk to have a spoiler on the non existant scenario of the game 
Here is the feedback from Longarmx with my answers in blue:

So first, let me tell you that this game is amazing! It’s one of the best games I’ve played in a while, and I’m glad I got this opportunity to test this for you.
Here are some minor issues/thoughts I had:
Editor:
=> For the editor most of your questions find an answer in the help page available when clicking on the “?” icon in the right part of the toolbar
-
I would like some way to rotate objects and other items with some keyboard keys (like q & e)
=> see help -
To me, rotation is backwards (ccw). Perhaps there should be an option to have rotations either clockwise or counter-clock wise)?
=> indeed, I’ll find a way to fix this without messing everything up (need to keep compatibility with the existing maps
), but it should be easy -
I think that the scroll wheel should allow you to zoom (or some other control). I zoomed out with the zoom button, but could not figure out how to zoom back in.
=> see help -
Maybe some sort of undo / redo functionality?
=> I know it’s missing but it’s kinda hard to implement, particularly now because the editor is not coded in a way that makes this easy. So I won’t do it before release but I clearly need to think about it for a future update. -
There should be some sort of picking functionality, where you can select an object in the world instead of having to find it in the inventory on the left.
=> see help for switching between creation/selection. Otherwise it’s possible to select an item on the map, and then click on the “use as creation brush” button in the bottom right part of the editor -
When choosing a particle effect, maybe there should be a preview of the effect rather than just a black box.
=> indeed I shoud try to find a way to do this (the way I create these thumbnails makes it a bit difficult to do with the particles because they are animated )
If you think the help page is not clear on some points, please tell me
Game:
- In my opinion, the text that shows who you killed should be white, and the text that shows you who killed you should be red. (so just switched around)
=> you’re right, that’s fixed - It would be nice to have some sort of audio indication that the game is about to end. (Like “A player is about to win!”)
=> true, I’ll see to it, there’s the same kind of message in quake3 now that I think about it (2 frags left … 1 frag left …) - In the map “dm12 M,” the small room with the two blasters and health is way op. Every game that I camped in there, I won.
=> true, I’ll see what I can do
Menu:
- The confirmation box (when you’re quitting a game) doesn’t fit the style of all the other menus. (It’s light gray and not transparent)
oh man I changed this so many times lol I can’t find a color/theme that is nice and remains readable
I should try again but I clearly agree on this! - In the credits, libraries is spelled wrong :point:
=> oups, fixed
Once again, I am very glad that I could test this for you, so I hope you don’t feel like I didn’t enjoy the game, because it was amazing!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, that’s very valuable to me. You didn’t tell anything so I conclude that you did not had any crash/issue with the game or editor ? That’s good news
"
Sorry about that, I noticed the help button but never though to click it for some reason. :clue: The help page is very well made, and it solved all of my problems, I just needed to look at it. :point:
I completely forgot to tell you some of the most important info:
- The game and editor never crashed after 2-3 hours of use.
- The game ran really smoothly without any stuttering.
And actually, now that I think about it, the confirmation menu fits pretty well, just the background of it threw me off. So maybe a translucent or darker background would help it fit better?
Also, shared my map so that others can see my terrible map-making skills :point:

ok cool. For the menu I did some tests yerterday … not successful I’ve got another idea I need to test … suspense
Your map is not so bad by the way, I played it, there are some interesting dark areas to hide

After the strange crashing issues were resolved (screw you Avast!), I was finally able to play the game!
I played the highscore mode and I must say, that was the most fun I’ve had in a while. As more and more enemy bots were added, it kept getting very hectic and hilarious as shots went flying everywhere. In the couple hours that I was playing it, I encountered not a single issue. I absolutely loved the voices (the ending sound with “you lose” was my favorite) and the menus and animations fit perfectly and functioned smoothly. Very impressive work and excellent job deathpat!
The game editor was very nice to use, although an undo/redo function would be very useful! The controls for it also need to be more obvious/displayed somewhere unless I’m blind and didn’t see them

Thanks for your feedback
for the antivirus issue, as a workaround I now run the game with a bat file (instead of an exe generated with launch4j). The definitive solution would be to sign the exe (need to investigate this …)
Hmmm I do believe .bat files also trigger the same response. You are correct the best way is to sign the EXE with a Trusted Root.
You have a good eye for UX by the way, I must say again the menus are very well done.
I found a bug in the Game Editor. When closing the window and having not saved the work, the window does not close after saving.

Thanks for the bug in the editor, in fact it was initially done on purpose, but I tested some other applications and indeed they all behave as you said it should and not as I did So it’s fixed now.
For the bat files, from what I tested it seems to be ok (I had no issue with avast).
I thought I might try your game but I couldn’t open the zip file… I will try to find a way to fix corrupted files but maybe you should look into this…
I am using a Lenovo E530 with Windows 8.1 installed… I have tryed both normal windows and 7-Zip to open the file…
Windows says that it cannot open the file because it is invalid…
And 7-Zip says that it cannot open it as a zip file…
Plz fix this… thx in advance…
EDIT: I have used a repair tool to fix it but their was still one broken file…
EDIT 2: Couldn’t run it after extracting it…

Have you tried running it through he console to see if it returned an exception?
