Can't run the Windows link because DevIL.dll is missing from my computer. I'm sad because this game looks really fun from the screen shots.

DLL Error =O(
To distribute, include the dlls that are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Love\ inside the zip file that contains the exe you made. https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution
Also if anyone wants to just play the game, install Love (very quick) and then double click the cobalism.love file from the "All Platforms" link the developers made on this page.
Whoops, completely forgot about the DLLs, they're now in the zip.
Pretty nice game. The AI was well done and both shooting and exploring were fun. It did lag a little on my computer (I use Windows 7), but not to the point of detracting from enjoyment. Great entry!
A fun and quirk top-down!
This is a nice game! I had some trouble with the guys who fly at you though - I couldn't hit them when they were right on top of me.
Also, I think I experienced a sound bug. The same sound (a bleep) would repeat over and over with an unpleasant crackling (like the walking sounds being played over and over, maybe.)
The camera system is pretty slick to use and initially it is pretty entertaining to explore the area and fight your way to the next level. However, this soon gets very repetitive and before long starts feeling dull. The experience could benefit from some music playing in the back. It can get pretty annoying when I can't find the stairs to the next level. Perhaps the levels could be smaller or an indicator could guide players to the next level after a while. Overall, pretty entertaining but lacking finesse. Keep it up!
Here's a small tip for those little flying buggers: They have to accelerate towards you, so you can swing them around and get them to orbit you instead of sitting on you.
I liked the gameplay, but the sound was both loud and a bit too much. The whole time I heard a crackling that sounded like a problem with my computer :)
+1 for LOVE!
Absolutely loved the procedural level design and the audio was pretty good. Those flying red things are a bit annoying though XD
Nice little survival game. It was worth installing love (linux), eventhough there was no sound (as it should be? it was written in the credits. pulseaudio seems to be activated, but no delicious bfxr-sounds :( for me)
All in all: good job!
Levels are rather empty, with no apparent goal.
Let me correct that: _the_ level is rather empty. I explored a bit, killed several enemies, and it seemed there was nothing else to do so I quit.
