Nice art style, fun story concept :)

Graphics is really good, but the game is too short. I wish i could add more ships to a wave. It will be great if player will be able to construct epic battles. I also thinkl it will be great if i can add ships in realtime.

Nice! Great idea, and it works quite well. The quick moving ships seem the best bet, and using one or two of them to block the hero from the rest seemed a reliable winning tactic, but it was quite fun.

Nice game. Nice touch.
I won pretty easily although I had the feeling of loosing. But it was fun. Like a backwards shmup.
Good work on that one. Unfortunately there was no sound or music at all :(

Interesting mechanics. It's kind of fun to try and guess the behaviour of the hero and place the best formation. The hero got blown up in my game in two fifth of the way to the end, by a massive chain collision. :)

The hero's comments are quite amusing.

A few very simple sound effects would improve the game by quite a bit.

Nice concept, fitting art style. Simple gameplay but nicely executed.

This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when I heard the theme. Very cool.

All other positive comments from previous posters are exactly right. I'd like to see this game expanded : more story, more good guys ( ships and characters ), more options, etc...

it took me a little while to figure out how to play, but its a good game, congratulation!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for playing, and for your feedback!

Maybe I will continue the game later :) (just a little to make it longer and fix some issues).

There is no sounds because I worked in a PC without sound output :P

When I said "later" I mean post ludumdare version :)

Loved it! Good idea and awesomely done.

but I think it is a little too easy to win..

Fantastic game that could easily be ported to Android. Loved the concept and was hoping for something like this to be made. Wished there were more upgrades and sound but for 48 hours the game looks amazing.

I liked the 80s manga style character. When the commands actually become active seemed a bit random?

tyranus 2012-12-20 01:08

Each command cost money, I think the feedback sucks :P

Some audio would really add some polish to this game. Well done other than that though!

This is a nice little game.
