Always love shooters like this! Nice style.
15,000 high-score. I did this by hiding in the bottom right corner - but eventually I got killed!
Not bad, it's a little weird to move with the mouse and shoot with WASD though. Normally it's the other way around.
Finally a mad shooting game where I don't suck. Basically inverting the controls, shoot with keys and move with the mouse is an extremely smart move. And you remembered to add particles, they are rare this time.
Shooters are almost always good. Nice game.
Nice Robotron like feel, and satisfying particle effects.
cool little game
If you add some music, screen shakes and occasional enemies that shoot back, this would sell very well on smartphones
like the fluidity of the mouse movement but the wasd shooting feels harsh in comparison. fun game
This is awesome fun. Nice chunky impact fx. The controls feel amazingly good, I hadn't played a twin stick that controlled like this so it was awkward at first but now I see the truth in it. Good stuff!
This was a very fun to play game. Enjoyed it.
fun simple game. well-executed. interesting controls. good job
Yeah, can't decide how I feel about that reversal of the typical WASD/Mouse configuration. It's freeing to be able to use the mouse for movement, but I agree "the wasd shooting feels harsh in comparison." Maybe just need to let it sink in a little more; next thing you know this will be the default control scheme!
I like the twist regarding the controls, at least I can`t recall any other shooter that moves in the mouse and shoot with WASD. =O)
Gratz
Very nice, I really like this! Add some background music maybe
Neon visual is very nice. And this kind of game is very addictive.
The controls took a little time to get used to (I'm more used to shooting with the mouse and moving with WASD) but after I did, the game became pretty enjoyable and addicting! The art fits the gameplay and theme well! Great job! :D
As a fan of Geometry Wars I absolutely adore the style of this game, however the controls are the opposite of what I'd expect, I don't know if it's intentional, but it makes the game quite hard for me to play. Overall excellent entry though :)
The comparison to Robotron was very apt. This looks and sounds like it was strongly inspired by it, which is great. I only managed to get 11,200 points, but enjoyed it a lot.
Nice! i love the neon- graphics! =)
Reversal of mouse and WASD works fine, it's just a shame the ship is always a bit slower than the cursor, kills me every time... Otherwise, very good !!! :)
Had no problems with reversed WASD. A nice polished game, well done.
Nice quick shooter. I like the idea of exchanging mouse and keyboard. Usually you walk with the keys and aim with he mouse.
Those are a lot of great suggestions! Thanks!
Fun game! With some better graphics this would be great. I see there is a lot of discussion about the controls. I actually like the reversed controls. Moving rather than shooting with the mouse makes me feel more in control.
Great fun!
Nicely done, was fun!
