oh damn!
I'll fix it now
Still having trouble with the link, I ran mega.co.nz through isup.me and it said it isn't a site, perhaps try uploading it to mediafire or something? Mind you it could be something weird on my end.
Well, it works fine for me :/
Here's the link using MEDIAFIRE: http://www.mediafire.com/?1ia3z2cp5esjn1c

Super work. Great game play. I am very glad to be killing those disgusting Crepiti.
Good fun. Love the art and sound. The controls were tight but they'd be a lot better with short hopping (varying jump heights based on how long you hold jump).
Looks and sounds good. Plays well too but I think the Crepiti took too many hits to die and it took the action out of it.
I'm also missing how you used the theme. I'm guessing it's the fact that you used pixel art. I love pixel art, but I think just going for pixel art (or brightly colored squares for that matter) without exploring the theme in a different wat is a bit of an easy solution since it still allows you to make just about any game you want.
I like the reload mechanic, it gives it a bit more depth. The fire and smoke effects are very nice.
Nice little game you have here. You managed to fit lots of features into this and its fun to play. good job.
Gameplay reminded me of Super Crate Box, which is never a bad thing. The enemies seemed to have just a little too much health, and it felt like the action was slower because of it.
Thanks everyone for your feedback!
The Crepiti have a lot of health because it's support to be challenging ;)
Eventually when you unlock things like the Water gun, it becomes somewhat easier to kill them (one hit kill :P)
I'm not too sure if I should change it :)
Thanks again :)

Nice little platformer. I didnt like the controls. Im a WSAD guy :D. Great job anyway!

Thanks man, I was going to us WASD but I realised that WASD is best for games that use the mouse a lot, like minecraft.
So I went with the arrow keys ;P
Like a slowed down super crate box. The enemy health could get annoying, but also made me tense as the game went on. Reloading added to that tension for sure!
When you get to the 50coins range, the speed of the Crepiti spawning increases. And the game DOES get harder :P
Nice tuning (control, nb life, difficulty) for a bad player like me. funny.
Nice looking game. I had two problems with it though:
1. The enemy survived a bit too much which made it kinda tedious to shoot at them.
2. The level wasn't perfect for the game. Because it took so long to kill the enemy the only place to attack them was the big bottom level or maybe the big upper level where you had enough space to shoot at them for a while. This means that I didn't move around at all.. I just stood at the bottom holding the shoot button basically.
Not bad, reminds me of Super Crate Box :)
Felt like Super Crate Box, with the baddies needing to take lots more bullets. Not uber original, but fun...for a bit.
The mp5k was pretty much the only weapon that was worth using until the water gun. Not hard enough enemies I'd say, and losing felt like a real chore because you didn't really work that hard to get the high score, you just had to collect the coins, and mostly I died due to losing concentration or just trying out a new weapon which had a ridiculous reloading time. When I had to start again I didn't really fancy spending the time farming a load of easy enemies to see what the next weapon would be. Super Crate Box is fun because it's hard when you start to even get 4 crates, and when you gain a weapon you have it always. Having said all that, it's nice work for 2 days! I liked the graphics!
I wish the enemy AI was a bit smarter... because otherwise, this game was lots of fun. The weapon variety added replayablity, but I just didn't have much trouble avoiding the Crepiti due to their predictability.
The visuals really do their job well, as did the simplistic sounds. If you added more enemy types with varied behaviors I can definitely envision myself digging this game. It's pretty good as is, don't get me wrong. But I'd love to see what you do with it in the future if you continue to work on it!
Super fun! Waiting for reload makes the tension skyrocket. Good game!!
Interesting. I felt quite underpowered at first, but I guess that's the point of early playing of the game.
