Pole :)

There's an ending after the pong stage, or just goes forever?
Nice idea, and strange concept art, haha :P

dohan 2013-04-30 07:11

The pong stage is a 11 points match. We hope you enjoyed our strange art :D

Nice game, awesome graphics, good sounds! I really enjoyed it, though the shot colour was really hard to see for me.

wilson 2013-04-30 10:46

I enjoyed the game and the take on the theme, but that pong match was kind of dull, I would have liked a slower opponent, or maybe playing just to 3 - I almost gave up at that point.

smilingcat 2013-04-30 10:52

The graphics were some of the best I've seen so far in this LD. Nice job!

Agree with Xatulu that the enemy shots were hard to see due to being a similar color to the starfield.

Nice game (Even though I got stuck in the third level since I couldn't shoot for some reason). I liked the music.

It seems link is dead.

tainted_code 2013-04-30 12:37

Ooooh cool game! I like the sounds and gfx!

dohan 2013-04-30 13:21

Thank you all for your feedback!

@Xatulu & @SmilingCat: We were out of time to create a bullet sprite :(
@Wilson: Yup, the Pong stage is a bit too long, although the enemy paddle gets tired over time. The 3-points match is a good idea.
@Yoni: You are losing features from stage to stage, and in stage 3, you can only rise your shield and move on the Y axis.

Cool game. I enjoyed simpler and simpler gameplay. Good job. And the music is awesome!

qaterknan 2013-04-30 13:29

Good concept and graphics!

mrspeaker 2013-04-30 14:11

he he... great concept!

tonic 2013-04-30 14:14

I figured out it was probably a "pong" but somehow all of the bullets hurt me instead of bouncing. I guess it is pretty exact then to place the paddle or so...?

geoege 2013-04-30 17:03

Really love graphics, and the humor.
The gameplay lacks a bit of tweaking but it's ok. Nice done.

Unity in Chrome says 'Failed to download data file' :(

meep 2013-04-30 18:20

Great game! Very aesthetically pleasing. :)

paulmcgg 2013-04-30 18:24

Loved the art in the first stage and the retro-fying thing was nice. Reminded me a lot of Bit.Trip Beat. Good fun.

diventurer 2013-04-30 19:04

I got stuck on the boss on the level I couldn't shoot. I waited for two minutes (on the bottom of the screen, where the boss apparently couldn't shoot) - but nothing happened. It was fun while it lasted though :)

somenetworkguy 2013-05-01 01:48

I was unable to shoot on the third stage. That a bug?

dohan 2013-05-01 10:44

@dick_claus: It looks like that that was a server error. I've been unable to replicate it :/

@Diventurer $ @SomeNetworkGuy: On the 3rd stage you lose your weapon, so the only way to attack enemies is reflecting their bullets, raising your shield with LShift. It seems that I should clarify this in the game description.

Thanks again for all the feedback, time to play some more games!

mikeware 2013-05-01 17:06

(grr lost comment before) Graphics and audio were nice, but it was very confusing to tell what was going on with the HUD in the first level with all the meters and plethora of enemies. I would have focused more on the minimalist third stage across the whole game, but then I couldn't defeat the boss at the end. I could just camp out in the lower-left forever...

lanoiadimuu 2013-05-02 10:15

I absolutely loved the level regression.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-03 23:24

Nice work!

pabloalexandre31 2013-05-05 23:10

Nice!

super-hamster 2013-05-06 23:08

It says "Data file is corrupt (not a unity web player file)".

justinmullin 2013-05-07 01:32

Getting invalid data file. =(

dohan 2013-05-07 07:21

I'll try to fix that as soon as I can, thank you.

lotusgame 2013-05-08 11:00

Very nice game ! I like the way game play elements are minimalized. Two small details though :
- the color of your shot is the same than the ennemies one, so it's impossible to make a distinction
- the size of your character is too big, so the controls are less fun
Anyway, it's a very cool game and a huge amount of work :) Congrats !

rafaelsales 2013-05-08 21:12

Cool game. Nice controls, graphics and mood. Well done and fun, but I think that it's fit the theme. Congrats anyway!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-09 03:44

The interface reminded me of FTL initially but still a pretty impressive game you built for a game jam.

phocker 2013-05-09 04:24

nice game -- nice graphics -- great job!

thesarcastic 2013-05-10 00:46

Wow it's impressive you were able to add this much stuff :O Though I gotta mention that it didn't feel minimalistic :P

minionstudios 2013-05-11 18:02

Nice one! That is minimal, probably the most you can get in video games.

tiago-ling 2013-05-11 19:51

Very cool game! Nice graphics, audio and game progression!

Congrats!

shiro 2013-05-13 11:31

Cute art, nice idea and music!

manax 2013-05-14 02:47

It says "Data file is corrupt (not a unity web player file)" for me too. :(

dohan 2013-05-14 09:59

Fixed, thanks!

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 18:55

HAHA, the UI of the firt level. Good idea, but it's hard too perceive the enemis shoot and avoid it (the music is inspired :-) )

martin_monosys 2013-05-17 21:49

Doesn't work for me : Data file is corrupt (not a unity web player file)... Sorry!

ataxkt 2013-05-19 19:05

Pretty neat!

dohan 2013-05-21 06:23

And it's over. Thank you all for playing!
