Really a funny game with a funny history!

the-force 2012-04-23 03:16

Goty

I should probably clean my keyboard as well now that I think of it.

Nice concept, I like these simple-controls bullet-hell type games. Very minimalist.

angrygeometry 2012-04-23 21:32

it kind of hurt my eyes..

gremlin 2012-04-23 21:36

Interesting variation in the enemies. Like the story.

shigor 2012-04-24 23:21

You know, after that glorious intro I've expected a bit more :/
But good anyway and first game i'm rating 5 for humor (for the arrow heressy!)

lawrence-esswood 2012-04-24 23:21

You had me at the title. Seriously.

sdwil2k5 2012-04-24 23:24

Loved it, nothing more I can say. Well done on all counts.

lukerissacher 2012-04-24 23:38

Funniest entry I've played by far :). Story went on a bit long in places but it was really well done. Couldn't get past the despicable arrow key horde unfortunately, will have to try again.

cmo7 2012-04-25 17:51

Thanks everyone :D

brus46 2012-04-25 18:53

My keyboard really need to be cleaned ahah.
I really liked having so many enimies and a cool story. btw someone can find a little boring reading all that story (actually i do love story in games :) )

jonnopon3000 2012-04-25 20:43

Quite comical, and for me that's what kept it entertaining. Not so good at bullet hell games myself.

cmo7 2012-04-25 20:49

brus46 That's why you can click to skip it. I like story in games too, but I find annoying not being able to skip it.

Thanks for playing :D

kunonooni 2012-04-25 23:16

I love the civilization opening. LOL! I found your use of the theme very original :)

vilya 2012-04-25 23:19

Great fun! Really good work. It wasn't always clear whether my missiles were actually hitting the enemy or being shot down just before the arrived - maybe you could make the enemies flash when they get hit or something? That didn't detract from the gameplay though. Again: great work!

ratboy2713 2012-04-27 14:47

Interesting little shooter, though I have to ask what dimensions you thought the web player would be played at? It is too big for my screen to play in browser.

demonpants 2012-04-27 21:51

Pretty freaking hilarious. The gameplay was so-so but you have a good chance at winning gold for humor. :-)

cmo7 2012-04-28 01:09

ratboy2713 I use a 1080p screen, sorry. The Webplayer it's in the "standard" 1024x768

demonpants Thanks!

Shadow 2012-04-28 05:11

This game in three words: Cool Story Bro!
Haha, loved the story, the way you embrace the theme is good as well, quite creative. And it delivers a fun experience.

mrevilguy 2012-04-28 21:33

Brilliant take on the theme! Music, presentation, everything is amazing! Fun game too. I couldn't beat the damn devils! I'll probably give it another go. Excellent, amazing, brilliant job.

cmo7 2012-04-28 23:05

MrEvilGuy woah, thanks :D

robcozzens 2012-04-29 10:01

Hilarious!
Pretty fun too, but a little too chaotic.

dokidoki 2012-04-29 18:55

I like the multi-bullet-streaking style. I got "Good guys: -1" at one point so you might want to do a less-than-zero check.

angelk 2012-04-30 03:56

The story is really cute, and had a great presentation :)

angerus 2012-04-30 10:45

I like the feeling of waves of destruction ! A simple concept but a great time playing it!

someguy22 2012-04-30 21:24

Nice!

raptor85 2012-05-01 00:45

non-standard zip file, can't decompress so can't test

gfm 2012-05-01 23:13

Wow, this was really fun!
I really liked how you can't shoot (since it's automatic) and, instead, you control the bullets.
Now, on to clean my keyboard... xD

permanent7 2012-05-02 03:35

It was fun but I didn't think it was as fun as some others said here. Maybe I just suck at the game but it was very difficult for me. Maybe I just didn't get it haha Good humor though :)

adhesion 2012-05-02 03:52

Awesome concept but gameplay is a bit clunky - if it were easier to dodge bullets (smaller hitbox/faster movement?) I think it would be a lot more interesting.

dcolgan 2012-05-03 02:58

Haha - very well done! Excellent humor and mood. Excellent use of the theme. I lol'd several times while playing. There wasn't an incredibly deep amount of strategy in the actual gameplay itself, but overall an enjoyable experience.

billknye 2012-05-05 02:56

Terrific, nice job, simple, yet effective.

muhiz 2012-05-05 22:32

Couldn't play. Unity Web plugin loads slowly and ends in error. Also, downloading stand-alone version is cut too early. Maybe I'll check this later.

cmo7 2012-05-06 18:38

Muhiz Thanks for the heads up. Im uploading a mirror build, just in case it keeps not working for you.

skullsoft 2012-05-07 03:44

If this loads/works, you will be the 100th game I play! (Meant to play like 500 but my internet connection had other plans--like going on the fritz for a week!)

skullsoft 2012-05-07 03:44

D'oh! Won't load-tried twice.

cmo7 2012-05-07 11:35

MadGnomeGamer did you try the dropbox mirror too?

catman 2012-05-07 16:24

Funny intro. :)
I liked the concept, the shoots were cool to look at and innovative!

oddgoo 2012-05-07 16:30

Nice text scrolling! Interesting battle system.

oye-beto 2012-05-11 03:35

I finished the game :)
Nice story and the dialogs were fun.

I like how my bullets follow the enemy.
I wish my planet where smaller and moved fast so more dodging were involved.

xblinkedx 2012-05-13 18:19

I'd really like to play it but when I try to play the web version it says failed to download data file and when I try to play the windows version winrar gives me an error when I try to extract it or run it from in the zip file :(

31eee384 2012-05-13 18:27

Impressive! I did expect the enemies to have more strategy as I got later on, but the final boss was hard regardless. Nice mechanic, and although it was simple, it was very fun. I really enjoyed the humor and story, too. The misspellings are quite jarring to me, personally, but I noticed an ñ in the scrolling background so I'll allow it. Great game!

make-a-game 2012-05-14 00:51

For a people whose planet originated in the midst of a keyboard, they sure tell their story with funny typos. I wish there was some info about controlling the shots with the mouse, because I spent some time thinking how useless the shooting was. Fun nevertheless.
