Radix

Looks really neat, I tried to play but couldn't get very far due to the wacky controls.
If you'd upload a version for people like me who can't get used to using ZXC and space at the same time it might be a lot more accessible.

Nice graphics, and the gameplay reminded me of 'nemesis the warlock'.

doohan

Looks awesome, controls are a bit odd though as Radix said. The flying cat things tend to destroy you pretty quickly though.

Stoney

I really like the graphics, great work. But the ZXC (or YXC in my case)-controls needs getting used to.

The cats are vicious. Nice graphics and unique character design. Stunning the enemies by sticking cards into their foreheads is very enjoyable.
I didn't have any trouble with the controls after a short while. Didn't make it to the boss yet, but I will try again later.

Hempuli

I really love the graphics!

afterthought

Controls are fine. Got to the boss and beat him.
Things got a lot easier when I discovered the axes... probably too useful :)
Great art!

Sound and strong goal feedback would have drawn a fifth star out of me. Excellent work.

fydo

Sweet graphics, controls are a bit tough to get used to though.

mjau

Nice graphics =)

jolle

Quit ambitious game. Good looking graphics.

Controls are a bit sluggish somehow. At first didn't figure out I had to kill a number of enemies to pass the level.

That was awesome! Absolutely oozes style. Interesting game mechanics and enemy progression. I love how "dying" just knocks you to the bottom. Some of the normal levels went on for far too long (especially the 80+ enemy ones), but it kept me interested through the final boss.

bugra

nice graphics
What program did you use for graphics?.

Really stylish. The way enemies explode is deeply, deeply satisfying. My only complaint is how enemies damage you - in most games of this sort, you'll go flying back and/or get some temporary invincibility - it's more visceral, makes you feel like you've really been hurt, and gives you a chance to get away from danger. Here the enemies just sort of hover on top of you and drain your life. It's somewhat frustrating.

(and it really could have used some sound effects. The exploding enemies effect would have had even more punch if accompanied by the right noise)

Endurion

That could be such a great game but it's nearly ruined by the weird control system.
It's mostly a remap of the keys away from a great game!

philomory

This is a pretty nice little game. I love the weird characters. Controls are a little weird, not sure what would have made them better, they just felt 'off' a bit.

Also, there's no sound, even though I see sound-related DLLS in the distribution. Is this an error on my end, or did the sound not end up being included?

BlademasterBobo

Really like the graphics! The cat bats are crazy, though.

Wiering

Nice little game, great production for 48 hours! I got to level 4. What I didn't like is that enemies just keep coming back at the top when you kill them. I almost stopped at level 1 thinking: how long is this going to go on like that?

sirGustav

it would be nice with some sound, especially when the kittens come close as I died several times without noticing anything.

HybridMind

Great looking game. Very hard for me though. I couldn't even make it past level two because of those damn cat bats being so vicious. Visually looks really great. Controls seem pretty decent as well as the platforming physics. I couldn't really grasp most of the advanced control moves and attacks. Great work for 48hrs!

recursor

Are those cat bats on the 2nd level? Man those little guys are vicious. I would love to see this one with sound - perhaps in the next revision?

Entar

Those little bat-kittens are annoying :P The controls are a tad hard to get used to, but generally you've got a pretty decent game here. Nice use of stun and special attack mechanics. Good job for 48hrs.

ondrew

The jump reacts really slow and is hard to control. The graphics is top notch, really love the style.
