Awesome! I really like the use of multiple graphical styles!

finefin 2013-04-29 13:28

looks interesting. but I have problems running this on a mac. will try again later...

Fight with minimalism turns standard sidescroller to something much better! Holy potatoes!

Very nice work. I like how the theme is the enemy.

Wait, "the theme is the enemy" almost sounds like a theme on its own. :)

Nice use of theme, fun game. But I think it crashed sometime after I got the third weapon upgrade. Screen went white and sound disappeared.

Thanks everyone. @kreddor Was that in the applet? I think I had that happen to me too. Could you try downloading it.

@finefin I've rebuilt the jar in Java 6 so it should work on macs now (no music though :( )

Music loop is a bit annoying by time, but I forget it with this awesome look and gameplay !

Great realization. Awesome idea about minimalism. :)

Great concept!
I can hear background music, but when I fire I get this:
line with format PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, mono, 2 bytes/frame, little-endian not supported.

and no shoot sound.

Very cool, nice retro graphics.

I loved this one!!
- Brilliant use of theme
- The background music is so addictive
- The cheeky minimalisers come at you from behind!! Bastards!!
- Good dialogue and good general feel

This is really cool. You should have more ratings!

zanzindorf 2013-04-29 21:48

Very nice use of the theme. Beautiful graphics.

kr-eddie 2013-04-29 21:51

Absolutely loved it! Just my type of game :D
I agree that the music gets annoying after a while, but it's not too bad.
The dialog and the way you introduced the theme were awesome!

Great game! =OD
Tried the web version and it was ok =O)

ray_mickelino 2013-04-29 23:03

Awesome. This game is great. I liked how you were able to merge the two graphic styles. Also, I played the web version, and it worked fine for me. If I were you, I might suggest adding scores, depending on the distance traveled and enemies defeated. Also, you could add some health items. Anyways, Great game. I love your interpretation of the theme.

Hilarious idea, done extremely well! The minimalism aspect adds something I can quite put my finger on, but its awesome!

fuzzywuzzie 2013-04-30 15:41

Great game, and great use of the theme! My only complaint is that I shot too slowly.. I had to be a sniper if I wanted to survive.

netmute 2013-05-01 21:14

Interesting idea, very good execution :)

minionstudios 2013-05-06 15:04

Nice! The wave of minimal graphics is a great effect!

jontturi 2013-05-10 14:59

This is stuff.

kevinlaity 2013-05-15 02:19

Fun game, and interesting theme interpretation!

phocker 2013-05-15 02:34

great entry -- one of the best uses of the theme -- awesome!
