Really nice, loved the graphics
HA!!! This is hard as crap, but it's hilariously entertaining. Good work!
A bit difficult but fun to play. Awesome work!
Thanks for the comments!
Middle of the last day of the jam a bunch of bugs started cropping up in Alien Behaviors, it basically became completely random how long it would take for enemies to build up a critical mass. For this reason we set the spawn scale to the max from the beginning, so that this version would be "fair" at least in terms of endgame scores. Might do more with the game later though, and that will def include a better fix for this.
Woe thats a lot of aliens haha! The destructible ground is very cool reminds me of that old gorillas game :D nice job
That was fun. Hard as hell but fun!
Evil with tits O.o
btw, a lot of fun!
It's a nice entry, but I find it a little bit difficult, it's almost impossible to evade alien's missiles, and the aliens take too many hits to die.
Nice game! It definitely is hard, but thats part of the fun. I like it a lot.
dsoft20 - Shoot incoming missiles! They bounce back and even hurt the aliens! Another little trick is that you can use your truck as cover as long as you can still defend your trailer!
Definitely though, if I finish this project I'll make the difficulty scale up instead of just starting at ridiculously hard, but it will get even ridiculously harder if I add in the enemies that got cut for time :P
Graphics are nice. I especially like the invasion going on in the background.
The mechanic where your firing rate gets quicker the longer you've stayed alive is also good.
The sound gets a bit annoying after a while though.
Good work.
Falling into hell is hilarious
Honestly, making wonky titted Satan was my favorite part of this whole Jam :P
Awesome art and really addictive gameplay. Very solid game.
Nice game, definitely fun and very responsive controls. Some aggresive background music and some more detailed sfx could improve the experience. Great work!
@kreishweide - Don't I know it! Unfortunately Ryan had a stupid root canal he forgot about during the Jam and consequently the music we got done on time sounded like cats in a blender, so it was back to the old SFXR for sound support :P
Other features cut for time were a slower scaling of the invasion, several random characters to spawn as (explaining why the trailer is the spawn point, sort of) and two additional enemies (who are jerks.) I'm very much thinking about throwing next weekend on the altar and finishing this thing :)
The devil in the end really got me :D
This game is brilliant. From the lurking devil to the way lives don't matter but staying alive longer does. I loved every second of play.
Very fun!
I love graphics and i really laugh so hard with the game, ilove dat satan GOOD JOB!
Good graphics, interesting twists, however games becomes impossible if you die on a later stage. Power down rate should be reduced.
Excellent game! Loads and loads of cathartic fun!
I loved the simple premise and the great pixel graphics. It feels like it would fit on a classic system like the C64 or something. Having the ground wear away over time was a brilliant idea and all the power-up drops make you feel great. It would have been nice to have some variation in the powerups, but I understand that there is limited time.
I only have two real issues with this game. First off, as others have said, the constant shotgun sound gets annoying after a while.
Second, I wish that the aliens would come in ever-increasing waves, rather than an infinite stream. This would give you a moment to pause and cool down before more intense combat came at you, while also giving a sense of progression. As it stands, the constant fighting without end eventually becomes kind of exhausting. I think that breaking up the enemies into waves would have remedied that (see: Space Invaders and Missile Command).
Overall, a great and very fun game!
Thanks for all the great feedback! It will be taken into consideration while finishing the game! Some things we're working on adding include 30+ unlockable characters to randomly spawn as (no differences in abilities, just visually different for some color) 5 additional enemies and 4 additional levels to unlock as well as fabulous new power-ups.
Hoped to have a web version uploaded here by now, but the Ludum Dare version of the game without the new features had some graphics corruption, so that's going to take a couple days..
Fun, addictive and a really nice version of a classic. Really good game :D
without my mouse around is basically impossible to win jajaj xD'''
but yeah, it was fun /so much without playing an alien retro game orz/
just one thing: the game was slow D: (and the controler of the mouse froze once :/ )
I love the graphics! simple yet challenging. Good job.
@Tsuki_Usagi: can I ask which version you were playing?
Also, definitely agreed about the mouse. This game is not trackpad friendly at all :P
This game is great. I really like how death is handled and the humor is a nice touch too. No idea what the devil with lopsided breasts is about though :P
