Nice! I could see the different types of triggers creating some interesting combinations. The particle effects are pretty fun too. I'd love to have a better way to dodge the bullets from the human enemies in tight corridors.

Fun -- would love to see more levels/enemies and maybe some puzzle elements in a post-compo version. Really, this could be a contender if it only had some more gameplay. Such is life in a 48hour compo, eh?

Character animations were quite good, and I was even compelled to let the music keep playing! This is rare for most LD entries. ;)

And oh, the emoticons were a cute touch.

Maybe hes not a villain, maybe he's trying to rescue the Airship... by shooting up and hacking the control systems.

Thank you for the comments guys! Much appreciated - I'll be taking your criticisms into account when working on the post-compo version.

Oh, and I'll check out your entries once I get home from work :)

@Markavian: Ha! Maybe :)

The intro and outro are the strong parts of your game, I think. The gameplay is good, but short. It misses something, in the level design and the graphics (no background (but the villain, computers and doors are great!))
Nice audio too :)

Oh, I haven't seen any enemies or enemy bullets, is that normal?

supermaximo93 2012-12-17 15:14

@Niavlys Thanks! The reason the game was so short for you was because I fixed a bug with mission briefings on level changes... which broke the level change (I didn't have a chance to test it). I've reverted back to the old version, so if you try it now you'll get the full 3 levels

A very fun game.

pighead10 2012-12-17 20:00

Awesome graphics and music! Could have done with more variety and challenge to create some interesting puzzles.

I really like the artwork and audio. Wasn't expecting the game to end so abrubtly, but it was still a lot of fun. Also, great intro and ending animations. :)

niavlys 2012-12-17 20:21

@supermaximo93 Indeed, it's much better now! I updated my rating accordingly :)

Damn, I didn't manage to finish the game without dying once yet... still trying.

msquirrel 2012-12-17 22:21

It was really nicely done, well put together and fun. I liked it :)

robashton 2012-12-18 01:08

Good to see the presence of checkpoints in this game, was worried it would be another trudge!

I like the emoticons when hacking >:D

xsmalldeadguyx 2012-12-18 10:37

Pretty fun. Could have used more levels, the graphics were nice, the ending was kinda cool too

seconddimension 2012-12-18 13:16

Really good entry! I liked the checkpoints, the particles on destroying a sentry turret, the hacking was cool. The whole thing worked well, with great cut-scenes at either end

chainedlupine 2012-12-18 17:39

Like the art! Fun, though a little short. Game seemed to be hitting its stride when it ended, sadly.

gnx 2012-12-18 22:02

Graphics are nice and there is some pleasent effort in the transistions from the start screen and between levels.

The controls and jumping could've used some more tuning I think.
Also I didn't really feel like a villain as such, maybe the objectives should be more about plundering treasure etc.?

strong99 2012-12-18 22:05

Very nice game. I like the graphics! :) The game was a bit short and I'm unsure why I was infiltrating.

moomoo112 2012-12-19 04:38

Rather nice, but short
Do those light-up rods do anything?

loren 2012-12-19 05:00

Really fun, liked the music and your sprites a lot!

supermaximo93 2012-12-19 11:03

Thanks for the comments guys! :)

@moomoo112 They're checkpoints. So if you die you'll respawn next to the one last activated

evilseanbot 2012-12-20 20:33

I like the atmoshphere! I felt like the enemy dudes should have been introduced earlier, they're more interesting oppisition than cannons that fire at your general direction.

AlrionsAlright 2012-12-22 16:43

Awesome concept dude. I loved playing the game, I just wish it was longer. I can't rate you because I'm not a participant this time around, but great job anyway! I loved the 8-bit style and the music, and I have no doubts that programming those AI's wasn't a cakewalk. Awesome entry.

dev_redant 2012-12-22 22:21

Cool art-style and overall gameplay. The animations were neat. I would really love to see a post-compo version!

zappi 2012-12-27 03:49

That's really hard to find such a polished game done within 48 hours. Great job!

supermaximo93 2013-01-01 22:42

Thanks for the comments!

Post-compo version is now available :)

matthias_zarzecki 2013-01-01 22:55

Solid title! Love the music and animations.

Level-design could be a bit more tighetened. Guards can shoot you, while you can't shoot back. It would also be useful if health replenished on level-switch.

mase 2013-01-02 02:44

I enjoyed this, and the new levels are a big improvement. The sprite animations are good, but the scenery could use some work; nothing about it really says "airship" to me. I want windows, and moving machinery, maybe some roulette tables. Also, there was never a threat during hacking, so the timer seemed pointless.

illugion 2013-01-02 05:51

I really liked this game ! The music and the visual style were really cool and i really liked the particle effects too XD Nice job!

superfluid 2013-01-02 11:48

Really enjoyed this, thank you! The level design was very good considering the time available, and you got a lot of content in there with the AIs, the cannons and the various other bits and bobs. I really liked the intro animation and soundtrack - made it feel like a complete and well-rounded product. One irritation is that you have to be on the same floor level to attack the AIs which is sometimes irritating (e.g. start of lev 3) - perhaps this is deliberate though?

goerp 2013-01-02 15:10

Niiice. All well executed, nice pixel graphics, good retro music. played well.

goerp 2013-01-02 15:13

I just saw your LD22 entry. I like that one as well, very funny.

m-gryko85 2013-01-02 18:28

Great work with graphics and music! Cool game however a little bit short.
