In the area with the pipe near the wall, you can get out by tapping "w", and scooting until you get out. With the stairwell I found a way to get out, but will probably fix it, so you can't get back in there

Often the gun will start shaking uncontrollably. It does this randomly, and sometimes the rest of the view shakes with it.

I have this problem where I can't run when I tap "w". Is there something else that I'm supposed to be doing instead of that or what?

You can't sprint if you are aiming your gun. Have you tried lowering the gun or holstering it?

Maybe you could use <a taser> to recharge the battery that powers your taser and flashlight.
There's a flashlight? Oh. I guess the lighting problem is somewhat subverted then...

I think that he's suggesting that a flashlight be added. I don't think there's a flashlight in-game as of now.

Tasers are really overpowered still, even if you see it coming towards you there's a thin chance you will kill it in time, especially when they come from above. Also, some sort of melee would be nice, that way you're not completely screwed when you spawn with 1 mag and 3 rounds.

It's a great game, but I have a suggestion to offer me more incentive to keep playing:

Don't reset the found tape counter when you die.

Right now it takes too much luck, patience and skill to find every single tape in a single game, and that game would also take quite long. The most tapes I found in one game up to now is three. But if you leave everything the same (permanent death, random maps) but don't reset the counter, getting all the tapes in, say, 4 hours of playtime, becomes very possible.

It also removes any and all replayability from the game.
In other words, please don't do this. It's a terrible idea.

How so? If I decide to play this game a bunch a year from now, it's not going to be for the sake of finding the tapes. It's going to be for the experience of manipulating the gun and dealing with the one-hit-kill turrets and tazerbots.

Of course, I'm not sure how you could leave permadeath and not reset the counter...
