Good fun. Played it the whole way though.. something hypnotic about it :)

This is really fun! Loved it!
I got stuck between the floor and a blue block, though... =(

sos 2011-05-02 12:10

Oh, that's an obvious bug. I got around that by avoiding 1-tile-high passes in game. Anyways, just make sure to shoot your way 2-blocks high, or don't jump in such places, sorry :(

Had a lot of fun with this game. Love this weapon system and sound effects. Too bad I got stuck and had to restart.

Very fun game. I couldn't afford the panzerfaust at my first play since those bats killed me many times.

Very fun. Love the catchy little background tune and the manic platforming physics.

alexlarioza 2011-05-02 21:35

Ah! The sound track is addicting. =]

Great game! Loved it.

Hilarious fun, but moving around feels a bit strange.

hamumu 2011-05-03 16:43

I *HATED* the manic jumping. HATED. Otherwise, I really loved this, just insane slaughter and a ridiculous amount of sprites flying all over the place. The ability to shoot coins out of the air was nice. I ended up having to be very inventive to get the final powerup after getting the nuke, because I had the fire button held down when I got the nuke and sort of vaporized most of the world.

Needs more coins ;)

This game makes me feel rich and covered in blood. Excellent!

randomnine 2011-05-05 10:49

SO MANY COINS

Need to tone down the upwards jump speed and aggressive bounce off the ceiling, but it's compulsive regardless :D

sos 2011-05-05 13:33

Yeah I'm making changes, updating, polishing, bugfixing, procrastinating, etc... Anyways, I should be ready with a decent version of this by the end of the week. Stay tuned, and thanks for feedback! ;)

The music was really repetitive, and I wanted a way to turn it off after the first minute or so. Other than that I really enjoyed the game. I loved the art style and shooting the coins out of the air was a cool addition. I was gobbling up every coin I could find just to hear the pleasant *ching* sound that it made and to see the dollar signs shoot out. I finished this one and wanted more. Great job! You get high scores from me.

You HAD to go and redefine what awesome and overkill mean't, didn't you.

Good job :)

I don't know what makes a game light hearted fun. . but this game has lots of it :) I enjoyed it a lot

Pretty sweet, though the lag from the thousands of elements on screen can get intense. Also, that getting stuck bug is killer..

danik 2011-05-09 13:30

It was frantic and fun! Full of humor.
The movement was a bit annoying, I think the player should have at least a little momentum when going left or right. You stop too abruptly which often made me miss platforms.

McFunkypants 2011-05-09 21:52

Totally awesome! I love it. I got stuck once or twice as well, but for the most part this was one of my favourite games of the compo. Keep up the awesome work.

endurion 2011-05-10 19:22

Really good fun!
Somewhat weird jump but otherwise plays very good. I love that you can shoot the coins down and they don't get lost.
You can get stuck though if you die with lots of money and can't afford the next essential weapon.
Rock solid entry!

dadads 2011-05-11 01:54

Fun game, and I liked the fast-paced music.
The announcer voices that play when you get a new weapon are killer.

The turtles look like armadillos, tho.

sonnybone 2011-05-12 18:00

At first I was like UHHHHHHHHHHH and then I was like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. The song will turn you into a crazy person, but the upgrades are rad. The new version looks HAWT.

pjpdev 2011-05-20 19:23

Great game dude. Kept me quite busy for a while.

increpare 2011-05-22 02:08

jumping felt a bit crazy to me, and death felt strangely harsh, but otherwise I liked this :)

brighterorange 2011-05-28 19:14

Haha, super fun. I didn't quite understand at first, but by the time I was done, I loved the over-the-top collection and rambo aesthetic. The sound effects were quite funny, but I felt like the enemy-hit ones were actually damaging my speakers, especially when 5000 of them were playing at once. The game would play a lot more smoothly if you gave a little windowing to the scroll instead of fixing the player in the center. It's particularly jarring when I hit my head on something. Liked this one a lot.

Oh man, this is great! I don't know why I waited this long to try it. (I played the post-comp version.) I like the graphics and audio, and the gameplay is fast and usually smooth (and does remind me of Jazz Jackrabbit!) Personally I think this deserves a higher spot in the results! Good job man.

Frustratingly though, I got stuck in a cloud right before the boss! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/kenmo/heaven.png
