Looks great... But it is too hard!
Great atmosphere, and while I don't like shmups in general, I managed to survive to the end on the first try =) At least I think it was the end. Ran out of enemies in any case.
that was insane! too many bullets :< keyb controls seemed a little off
Holy crap... I think one of the bullet hell design rules is that you have to make there be somewhere on the screen where there aren't bullets at some point in time. Papper gave a very appropriate award.
I appreciate "Mans:". I wish the chain reaction element was stronger (and didn't come back and shoot me in the face so much) and more apparent, but it's definitely there. I really expected a flood of shooters kind of like this, but so far I've only seen a couple.
The control really needs to be tighter (mainly just slower) to make dodging more possible. On these kinds of shooters, usually your ship moves really slowly, so you can precisely place yourself between bullets. Of course, they also give you a really small hitbox, which is another lifesaver. I was flinging my big self everywhere here, and boom. Brutal.
Lastly: whoa, I can't believe even the 'helpful' chain reaction shrapnel can kill me. Guess I'll never know what weapon comes after 3 powerups! But hey, I finally finished the game (with 1 Mans left)! Hooray for me!
was pretty hard for me. Too many dam bullets. I wasn't sure how the game related to the theme, but it looks like a decent shooter.
Hard as hell. Good effort though, lot's enemy types and other stuff in there. They just go by so fast while killing you every 4 seconds that you don't have time to appreciate any of it.
Congrats for creating a (nearly) complete shooter, but it's very hard!
really, really, hard
Great music and sound! Fairly standard carpet shooter style. i don't see how the theme applies.
Cool game, very difficult! It was very hectic.
Wow, very pretty and extremely hard! Finally managed to survive by shooting less and dodging more.
no theme? very hard, but well executed
Yay, another bullet hell shmup! =) The idea seems to be the same as mine, pretty much, and unforunately the implementation of the chain reaction theme suffers from the same weakness .. I still believe it could work well, but the level doesn't really take advantage of the chain reactions, so you barely notice they're there most of the time.
In any case, I had fun with this. It's hard, but hey, these games are supposed to be hard =) .. goes by a bit fast though. Nice audio, graphics isn't fantastic but works. Too bad you didn't have time to finish it (though you still made a more complete game than me .. =])
AHAHAHAHA! that was awesome, impossible but awesome, I did notice the chain reaction on the asteroids, the graphics were cool, but you got one thing wrong, the bullets moved too fast, gotta have more bullets, but make them slower =p
this game is pure rock and roll, i can't believe i survived with my mans intact
