Hmm, I got a security warning (that's not good). You should be able to create a game in Slick without getting that.

Spamming your first two abilities seems to be the winning strategy. I died around wave 20. Radiance should have more than one charge (so you can collect them before you use them) In the later wave you take damage incredibly fast. Some kind of invulnerability period would be nice.
It would have been nice to see an icon on the screen to see if Radiance is ready. The text goes away too fast and it often overlaps with other text messages.

Pretty decent, I thought! Not groundbreaking, but simple, clean, and fun. I enjoyed it :)

thanks for the comments! :) after the judging, I'll put up an 1.1 version of the game

Gameplay was rather pain and repetitive but the concept isn't bad.

Congrats on finishing your first LD! I enjoyed your game, and the progression in difficulty seemed reasonable. :) My right hand feels cramped from hammering the keys mind. :P

Simple and fun, I enjoyed it. Kinda wish the jump was higher though.

I would have liked for abilities to continue to fire while holding a key down. And like Marco said, an icon for Radiance would be helpful, since I was constantly checking to see if I had it or not. Also, maybe have a screen at the end tell you what wave you got to and your score. Overall though, a neat game with nice graphics and a cool concept. Was fun to play, and I got to wave 18 I think.

If it wasn't so repetitive it'd be awesome

Wow that's difficult game, nice! More traditional 3 button shooter controls would be Arrow Keys + Z, X, C

Too much repetitive but the idea is not bad :-)

Nice idea, would like to see it developed more :)

sure thing, a new updated version will be linked on this page, or be sure to check out my twitter for updates (@robee00)

Hmm... I'm just getting a white screen where the app should be.

Hi, I liked the idea (gameplay a lot like my entry) it was fun and the aoe skills were fine! Radiance could be a bit stronger maybe :D
