I'm really bad at fast-paced score-attack twin-stick-style shooter... hyper fighting games, so I didn't get very far. But what I saw was vibrant and smooth. Do like.

It's too bad I didn't get to see more of your hard work.

Lots of fun. I just wish I could shoot diagonally.

I like the approach to the theme.

The highest I got was six angels. I kept getting swarmed and losing all of the followers. That said, I'm terrible at twin-stick shooters (and I think my keyboard had an issue with me trying to press four buttons at once).

Cool interpretation of the theme! There are not enough medieval-philosophy-dance-party games in the world!

Pretty solid! Enjoyed the art style and music. Pretty difficult, but not totally impossible. I found it pretty tough to complete the party after getting all the angels, but I did at least make it to round two.

I played all the way through before realizing I could shoot. D'oh.

KevinWorkman, wow, that's.. actually kind of impressive.

I made like 30000 pts but lose in the end. Great game, i like the rainbow shoots xD

An nice, polished, and solid game. It was frustrating though; it took me a while to work out where I was supposed to go, and I quit at round 2 due to it taking ages to advance. But anyway, good work!

cambrian_era 2012-04-24 02:54

BlackBulletIV, doh, I forgot to put in that the arrow above the lead angel points either to the nearest angel or back to the pin, so you just follow that.

It took me a while to see the arrow too, but once I did, the game became a lot easier and more fun - I'm pretty surprised by how well 4-directional shooting works once you've got some angels following you - you just send walls of bullets (or a laser of death!) Maybe the arrow would have been more obvious if it'd been around the edge of the screen? That music is also spot-on. Well done.

Yeah, the graphics & music are great! I failed pretty miserably, the most I had I think were 5 angels before I gave up.

Making a million colourful bullets was fun though :D

r3ason 2012-04-27 05:42

Ahh, pretty good after I read the instructions :D Was a little hard with the dual keysets, but that could just be me. Very colorful, and the music was great. Thanks for sharing!

It seemed too hard to for me. I couldn't keep the others alive. I did like the way they all shot at the same time.

moonmagic 2012-04-29 05:28

I thought this was an amusing take on the theme and I enjoyed the enemy sprites and the lasers, as well. I think it would have been more fun to shoot the enemies if there was some visual / aural feedback, but I loved getting the new angels and seeing the huge wall of rainbows I was creating. I was ready for the game to end the first time I got back to the pin; increasing angel speed might help with this?

schizofunky 2012-05-05 18:29

What a great idea for a game! I got quite addicted and loved the reward of building up your angel team! Nice work!

robert-swan 2012-05-05 18:35

Far too hard... and maybe swapping wasd and arrow keys would help some of us used to other configs too :) Shame as I like these games, and this did look cool

machinas 2012-05-07 07:18

heh. my keyboard has the arrow keys split between the left and right hands, so i can't wasd and arrow at the same time. I might see if i can find a spare keyboard to try it out
