Wow great game, and nice screen shaking :D

I really like this game!
KILL KILL KILL and harvest skulls, add them to the collection!
My current highscore is 36 :D
I've tried thousands of strategies!
Most of them ending with a huge bunch of corpses! xD

Great Game!

I absolutely LOVE the graphical style of this, and the shooting mechanics are very well polished and satisfying. Wish it were a little easier to harvest skulls (the jumping could use some work, or allow the player to harvest just by facing the corpse). Very well done overall, and I hope you continue working on this one!

Also just a note, the game didn't exit cleanly for me on Win64, pressing ESC got me out of the window but didn't end the process.

metadept: Thanks, I'll look into that.

Love the effects, the controls are very fluid and the animations are well done, the only thing I didn't like much was sound, specially the fire animation.

A little bit special but i liked it, it's always cool to shoot so quickly !

Love the art style and nice gameplay, although I was never able to rip skulls :)

Awesome graphics, tight mechanics, fits the mood well. Satisfying corpse piles.

Have to give this tops in everything, except 3 in Innovation, the "killingfloor" genre have been done to death (pun intended), anyway, everything is so well made about this one.. Sound, graphics, fun, theme, and I might have weird humor.. But wow.. Nice. Game.

That was an interesting game. So simple mechanics and idea, and yet so much potential ^^
However, I was having serveral troubles with this game. First of all, the physics were very glitchy, and I often slided off the corpses.
Secondly, the sound was fitting, but in my opinion, quite annoying. Furthermore, the game did not exit properly each time I started it.
But most importantly, the controls felt very unconfortable for me. Pressing spacebar each time I wanted to rip a skull costed precious time, since I'm not quite used to that sort of key layout. I'd have preferred to have it on left shift or something - probably because I use the left hand for the mouse :) Still, nice idea!

DST: what's the killingfloor genre? I don't know many games like this.

AyCe: I should keep in mind to allow different control schemes next time.

Really keen on the look of this game. Seriously creepy. Couldn't really see how or where harvesting skulls came into it but was still a good tech piece.

Excellent little game :) The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the that you had to be kind of exactly on top of a body to get the skull... I ended up accidentally jumping over bodies, and therefore having a really hard time getting many skulls


Graphics and audio are great !

I love the style of this game; the visuals and sound work together in complementing the mood.

My main issues are with gameplay. Jumping is really tricky and enemies often land on top of you. Besides that, I really I wish you didn't force fullscreen. On my 2560x1440 monitor, it's *massively* pixelated.

But anyway, with a bit of polish, there's a lot of potential here.

Absolutely love the VHS feeling. No idea how you can pull it off so well.
