GTA clone in HTML5

cool concept, but I wish the aiming crosshairs could be controlled by the mouse without having to reclick and move after each shot. very frustrating.

Yeah. I don't get why they don't use the same mechanic I see in other game.

Also, the loading time were frustrating.

I literally came back here just to say this. I love the concept but it's almost unplayable with the dragging after every shot.

Make it follow the cursor!

I can't figure out how to shoot. It's telling me to drag the mouse and release, but that just makes the dude run.

Right-click to pull your gun, drag the green crosshair that appears over your target, and release.

It's really not a good gameplay mechanism at all. Also, the game crashed with a Java (!) stacktrace for me.

Yup, that just makes my guy walk over there. I have the feeling I need a real target before it will work, but I'm the only one on the screen and the tutorial won't let me continue until I've killed something.

A+ for technical showmanship. D- for quality.
