Beautiful, as always
HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT!
Seriously. Best game ever, with a little more polishing (like a "back to main menu" thing) and a few configurations this would be perfect!
won't work on Ubuntu under Wine. Complains about missing APF.mfx.
Very awesome!
-The graphics are really nice and crisp.
-The audio is nice as well.
-Really good job with all the different weapons, they had a decent amount of variety and they were all enjoyable to use.
One thing that I wasn't clear on is when I came into contact with an enemy, it seemed like I had an opportunity to escape or something but I couldn't really pinpoint what to do. I managed to escape once, but I'm not sure how I did it. Really solid entry, good job!
I can't wait to give this a go with more friends, good thing we are having a party tomorrow :D
so fun! Great music and I love the colors (even though they're eeeevil)
Awesome game! Great graphics and really fun gameplay. I wish I had 7 friends to play with!
I don't have any friends!
Graphics are very pretty and the gameplay is fun. You've got style, dude!
@pvwradtke try updating to Wine 1.5 , JigxorAndy managed to get it working under that.
Best so far! A little difficult, but I love the gameplay, story line, and the graphics
Excellent!
Beautiful does not even begin to describe it. Awesome work!
Excellent work! Will future updates support online functionality?
reminds me of de blob fun!
Beautiful.
It was love at first sight :D ( even if the pace of the game is a bit slow :P)
Fantastic! Everything about it was great
Whoa! Best entry i've seen so far.
Quite difficult on single player. I'll try to grab my bro later to try it out. (cause this was MADE for mulitplayer!)
Bloomin' marvellous.
Really cool action game with some pleasing visuals. Had a lot of fun playing this even though I kept dying. Keep up the good work!
Great game, this definitly needs an online multiplayer version!
Nice, are the levels random?
@Prelucid sure are :)
An online mode would make this game even better than it already is !
Awesome =)
But endless fight, right?
It's a very cool entry, seems to be a finished game. I liked the variety of weapons, though I was using flamethrower most of the time.
Controls weren't very comfortable. It seems you made the player not change shoot direction while shooting, so changing it at all became difficult. Also, the initial weapon seems very weak, the first part of every level was looking for another weapon.
This is a great game! Though the menus were a bit confusing at first, I had a lot of fun playing it!
Great game, I have to play this with some friends.
Wow, this is really fun!!! Played with my brother, I think I'll also bring this to my friends and play with 7 of them :D
I bow to your gamemaking craft. Great work, the feel of the weapons the splash of the enemies - it's amazing. Can't wait to play it with friends.
@SaintHeiser Nah theres a ending, theres also hardcore mode if you manage to finish it :) But levels are randomly built.
Cheers guys, glad you like it.
New post competition build is up with all new music and lots of difficulty and control fixes, enjoy!
Awesome game! One of the best i have played so far, congratulations!
Solid shooter, love the style -
Absolutely INCREDIBLE presentation. Very fun to play and looks gorgeous. Unfortunately, the music is rather lacking (though I do look forward to playing the post-production version). Seriously, I'm very impressed by this. Incredible entry!
Nice and shiny. :)
Great game! Graphics/audio are perfect and so the mood is awesome. The only issues I had with this were that if you were playing 1-player there wasn't really any way to save yourself once you were caught. It got kind of annoying getting most of the way through a map and then having an enemy appear right next to you and have to restart. Other than that this is very very good.
Awesome game! A little more polish here and there and this would be perfect, but it is already great fun to play.
I had a little trouble when i needed to change the shooting direction fast, and it is quite unforgiving once you are caught.
wow
Great game, two issues, the input system felt weird, i know it says customise you own but I was unable to find that menu. Also not too sure about the movement and shooting relationship. Much fun though, love the style.
Best game I played so far. It's brillant and fun as hell. Can't wait to try it out with a friend or two.
This is a fantastically polished game for 48 hours and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Not sure if it's a bug, feature, or just my computer, but I found it very difficult to change shooting direction: even when stopping firing entirely it would rarely change.
Nice style! A bit too repetitive and easy in single player mode but still awesome!
lol to easy? Everyone is saying it is too hard. Can't please everyone.
@Casino Jack directional shooting lock is a feature, it was too hard to play otherwise, i might allow players to turn the lock off however on the menu.
@RobKat on the character select screen when you select your agents there will be a whole pile of keys overlayed onto them, just click the key text.
Great game. Love the variety of weapons (bouncy gun is super fun)
This is clearly something that i could buy on xbla or steam !
Great game, quite elegant solution for directional shooting lock.
Wow! Two days? Wow! I really enjoyed it. That's amazing work for 48 hours. Can't imagine how much better it'll get with a bit more time. Loved it! Well done.
Wow! So polished and well balanced. Impressive
I love that you've got local multiplayer on the same keyboard :) Very rad game, I had a lot of fun with this!
New music has been added! Also, I fixed a bug with keyboards with joypad inserts screwing out the game, just click disable joypads on the menu ;) Enjoy.
Very fun game, super polished! Gameplay is simple fun and fluid as hell.
Amazing for a compo entry.
How do I start the game? I'm guessing there's a button that doesn't show up on my 1024x768 display... :(
press alt enter axcho, will allow you to go fullscreen and see everything (its off-screen because windowed res is 1280x720)
ALT+ENTER that is :)
AWESOME MULTIPLAYER ACTION!!! Full marks for fun. Lost myself for a long time playing this one. Nice use of theme and rockin' music. Thanks for the rad game!
Unfortunately going fullscreen with alt-enter didn't help. The screen is still cut off at the sides. :(
Hmmm you should be able to resize the window if that isn't an option, I will add a shortcut to start the game tonight for you :)
Very fun game, with a brilliantly designed and implemented look. The action is smooth and the use of the theme is ok. But, above all, the amount of contents you crammed into this one in just 48 hours is simply staggering.
Being able to destroy the walls opens some neat strategies, but also makes the game easier, as you can aim directly for the color towers using an almost straight path and completely ignore the enemies.
Playing solo became somewhat tedious after a bunch of levels, as they offered little to no variation from one another. But I'm sure playing it with some friends has to be a blast.
As a comment, I found the initial statement to be frankly brilliant, as it really sets the tone for the action. Or the hue, in this particular case.
Congratulations! :)
Cool stuff, I like the different weapon types. Good job as always.
Addictive and smooth. However, I didn't get how to start playing in the hardcore mode, which is said to become available at the end. Nothing new in the main menu.
@HD408 hardcore mode auto plays when its unlocked, it will just amp up the enemy health and spawn rates, and will also spawn bigger enemies.
I just uploaded a new post compo build that addresses the difficulty, it should be significantly more difficult in later levels now, and hardcore mode will kick your ass.
Really great game. Good graphics, great music, and addictive gameplay - lots of fun. I think you could really turn this into a full game.
My wife and I stayed up late and finished it twice, together. ;) sweeeet!
It had a weird bug though - it would stop mid-level, and force us to add another player, even though we were only two. Dunno why. If we didn't add another player, it wouldn't let us click on "begin".
Great game though. Despite the annoying bug, we'd start right from the top if we had to. So fun!
über entry, world class entry !
Thanks guys! @Edgy Mirrors I would love to try n debug that if you have a chance, reckon you could tweet me or email me at [email protected] or @farmergnome ? Would love to sort the bug out :)
Controls were quite nutty.
Feel free to change them superdisk, they are all rebindable.
I'll try this later with some friends, must be really great! Very good game! :D
Very solid entry. It was both fun and a challenge. Good job :)
Fun, polished a lot, had a lot of awesome details. I only wish I could multiplayer it! Really, pat yourself in the back.
Love the bright colors and the particle effects on the weapons, as well as when the colors combine to form giant enemy cubes. Really cool game all around. Thanks again for making a post-compo version, I really dig the music.
I think there were two games above others in this dare ludum: Mustache Armies and Undercolor Agents. (the only 5 stars I gave )
One of the best!
Really fun and addictive and probably best played with friends rather than by yourself. I can't seem to get my controller to work with this game (both versions) though (It's a PS2 pad connected to a usb converter).
Hmm I will look into that, might have to pick myself up a PS2 controller to test it.
This was excellent! You certainly know how to juice your games. I didn't do hardcore mode, but I did play through it - although I was about to quit when I arrived at "The Final Battle", since I wasn't too sure if it would go on forever or not.
Really great game! I loved it! The music and art style was superb and the gameplay was very fun! Great job! This also probably had the best name of all the games this time
This was awesome fun .. love the different weapon types. I almost just missed the judging deadline because I was having too much fun playing it :)
Cheers guys, I am busy at work on a post compo version with a bit more content at the moment, ill post it on my twitter / website when it is ready. Adding some sidescrolling elements :)
