Important note: Installers are very frowned upon, because people need to just dump these games into a folder and go. They don't like them cluttering up the computer at random. I tried it once years ago as a bit of extra polish, and oh, the unhappiness.

Other important note: Respect the lefties! WASD+space+mouse is not comfortable or functional for us! Whatever happened to good old arrow keys?

Otherwise it's pretty good. I think you should look into jumping physics, because this kind of all-up then all-down thing is always very awkward feeling and hard to control. Real jumping is easy to implement, but I guess a voting comment isn't the space to explain!

You make a good point with regards to left handed people. I will definitely take that into consideration for future games.

Unfortunately the only way to distribute an XNA game to everyone is through an installer but I will learn a language that can be used in a browser for the next Ludum Dare.

No offense, but I'm leery of installers.

I don't know much about XNA but I'm sure there's games using it that don't require an installer - shouldn't be a need to join the browser based horde just for that reason. :)

Hmm, what good is the installer if it doesn't install the dependencies? It crashes on startup for me.

Installer worked fine for me. Great game. Would play again.

Fortunately, clicking "install" isn't too much of a challenge for me. Great game, I especially like the art style.

Nice entry well done! Good looking and seems fairly polished!

I just didn't enjoy it very much - it felt a but unfair towards the player with my gun shooting so slowly and the enemies apparently having homing bullets / aiming where I'm going to be... the jump physics also felt... weird...
