Covenant

Couldn't decompress the windows zip...

Sorry I didn't rate the audio (dunno if there was any), was playing on a school MacBook without sound and it won't work on this computer. Fun game though.

Man those turrets are deadly accurate. I love the wall, and it's a fun game in general. Could be longer. Final score 296370.

My spleen!!! :) Too funny.

Although simple, the graphics is very pretty. Enjoyable gameplay.

GREAT visuals and fun gameplay. I would love a bigger/expanded version. Seriously, this is excellent, thank you.

wow. I LOVE this game. There are so many elements to this that really rock my world. I can't wait to try the updated version! The screen shaking effect and whiteout as the beam gets near is so awesome for building atmosphere and tension. The robot is FUN to fly. I had no problems with the turrets whatsoever and didn't find them unfair like I noticed some others commenting on. If you just pulse up and down you can easily dodge the bullet from hitting your humans. The graphics are great for being little blocks. I got like 28000 some points my second go round. The first time through I didn't realize I could string humans together. Very nice and very fun. Congrats!

Excellent! I had fun playing it. The game sorely needs some kind of music though. The gravity seemed a bit too much. The graphics are spot on though, love the low-fi feel. Would be nice to know approximately how far away the wall is without being right next to it. It seemed pretty hard to save the humans from being shot... maybe they should trail behind the ship horizontally like a tail? With the addition of some kind of upgrade system (faster ship, more carrying capacity, etc) and slightly different environments, I would play more levels of this.

Nice entry! I like the art style and the effects.

This game was a lot of fun! Despite the stuttering, the game felt really well polished. The sound, gameplay, and graphics really came together well.

One point of frustration for me, though, was that it was often really hard to get by the turrets without losing several humans, since the bullets moved fast enough that it was hard to dodge them.

I liked it, but there were big problems with collision detection, I could often fly through walls. Despite that it was a fun game and I felt the graphics, simple as they were, worked really well. I really liked the screen whiting out when the beam got too close. The easter egg beyond the exit was also a nice touch.

Didn't work on Intel, but on my FX 5500.

Nice game.
There are some problems with collision detection in the right part. Also, for whatever reason it sometimes really stutters hard.
I love the little comments "My spleen!" ;)

Fun, but... freaking hard (why the long wait for the teleporters?)! Good thing you fixed the collisions, too.

Arowx

Nice one just fun to play!

This is one of my favorite games... lot of elements come together nicely.

More levels and internet highscores would rule if you're going to keep working on the post-comp version...

But let's be serious, the scientist should be worth more than a mere politician.. think of his value in the post-apocalyptic world!
