The swans are a really fun concept, but they're really really hard to actually use. I feel like it would work a lot better if you only controlled Alex, and Ash was just 100% AI-controlled.
The amount of times Ash has gotten unstuck from something and ran back to me in a way that makes me think it's a melee guy coming from offscreen and made run at him swinging my chainsaw wildly has been quite numerous.

I love Hotline, but I don't really see where else I'd want the game to go. Publishing a level editor and then dropping the series is really the best move, since aside from badass music curation, more maps is all I really want.

Hotline Miami 2 ran it into the ground then kept going. The first game was less than two hours. This one was eight. I have zero desire to go again. The first one I restarted immediately.

Well, I know it's a cool guy thing to do to pretend like you are above playing a sequel to a good game, but I'd like to play a sequel to this good game. Nothing about the ~artist vision~ or ~indie integrity~, I just took a peek at his portfolio and these two games are the only thing that has piqued my interest and I want more. Sorry if that's a bad opinion. I'd buy HLM3 day one.

Hmm. A third game would probably be even more of a level pack, possibly with a decent soundtrack? Dunno if it would be worth making, assuming the editor is as good as it looks.

Spinning on the spot is a secret gangster tactic that gives you 360 degrees of coverage at all times. It's really basic stuff and I'm surprised that Batman and HLM are the only games that have done their research on this topic.

Professional hitmen can go up to 900rpm and act like a buzzsaw if anyone gets nearby.

I'm not so keen to play a game the developer really doesn't want to make. Nothing "cool" about it.

Use the sniper. For the 1st screen I would quickly run into the corner where some people were patrolling away then kill them, then just snipe people from there. 2nd screen camped by ammo and sniped. 3rd lured enemies in 2 closest rooms to door, sniped as many others as I could from far away. 4th just camped by the ammo and sniped most of the people.

The focus really isn't on the soundtrack for most of the games - it's mostly tracker music. That being said, the Mondo games are great, Clean Asia is a pretty fun shmup, and most of the games in the Arcade 1/2 pack are worth trying.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
Am I the only one that gets pissed off with the locking on system? I love back pedaling away from dogs only to lock onto the guy three rooms away and it really makes stringing together gun combos tough. Its pretty much necessary to use in big rooms but goddamn is it finicky. Especially with the two swan mask guys, one of whom is perpetually stuck at the door at the beginning of the level.

Norrland is worth playing, and there Keyboard Drumset Werewolf music video game isn't bad.

Basically all of Cactus' games are worth trying because they only take a few minutes at most. There's a flash game of his on newgrounds (The name escapes me) about a guy's dream where when you die you switch to the character that's looking at them. It's short and linear but for like five minutes of time? Worth checking out.

I hope the level editor is flexible enough for me to create my own expansion pack: Hotline Fargo. Choose between Marge Gunderson (starts with pistol), Jerry Lundegard (non-lethal), Carl (faster movement), and Gaere Grimsrud (starts with chainsaw). Play through all the events of Fargo!
