This is actually pretty cool. Remind me to come back to this so I can vote on it.

The game was really fun and addicting. I tried my hardest but I could only defeat 5 guys. The game is hard but quick paced, and that's what makes it addicting. At first I didn't like the one button control but after I got used to it, it worked really well. Simple but awesome entry.

This was fun. A dodge-ball like mechanic could be cool for co-op. Where if your teammate hits 5 blue tiles in a row without dying you can bring them back...or something like that.

fnkee 2013-04-29 04:33

Thanks for great feedback guys!

@Zathalos: Happy to hear you found it addicting. Great job, it took me a long time to get to 5 myself.
@cacciatc: Yeah, I like the sound of that idea! I've been thinking about 2v2 versus mode as well. Shooting them beams at each other!

Neat concept, good execution. Also good audio.

sol_hsa 2013-04-29 05:50

As simple as the controls are, it took me a few games to figure them out. =)
Cool music!

tau7153 2013-04-29 16:38

The controls are a bit weird but I like the style and the music is great!

misfit 2013-04-29 17:21

Nice retro feeling. Awesome "parallax" scrolling effect. Audio is great.

kilian 2013-04-29 18:07

Interesting controls. Took me plenty of retries to figure them out - after that it's real fun :-)
Nice sprites and music. I'm just missing a few sound effects.

fuzzywuzzie 2013-04-29 18:44

This was actually really fun when I figured out how I was controlling the little dude. Loved the graphics too!

huvaakoodia 2013-04-30 19:29

Challenging and fun.
Also the music is mighty fine.

Is the player suppose to always move? I felt like I had almost no control in the game. I like the visual though

ohsqueezy 2013-05-04 13:30

An old-school, flying through futuristic metropolis, arcade style boss level with modern design. So much fun, especially when you can get a streak of gracefully bouncing from platform to platform.

fnkee 2013-05-05 12:59

Thank you so much for all this epic feedback! Based on all this, I can improve the game to something more.

@cinnamonmelonpig: Yeah, it's supposed to always move, but you can change direction with "L" anytime. It takes a couple of tries getting used to. Good luck!

@ohsqueezy:Glad you liked it! I'll be sure to add more stages and enemies once Ludum Dare is over!

blackdogg 2013-05-05 13:42

I loved the concept, well linked with the theme. Graphics were simple but well executed. But I might be stupid I haven't really understood how to play this the correct way :)

caranha 2013-05-05 13:44

That is a pretty cool game. I like how touching the platform and shooting at the enemy are tied together. There is still a bit of balance to be done, but I like it.

What did you use to make the music??

fnkee 2013-05-05 14:30

@BlackDogg: Thank you! As there is only one button to be pressed in the game, the navigation takes a couple of times to figure out. Pressing the button changes the direction of the character and your main objective would be to defeat 10 of those flying purple thingies by bouncing on platforms. A platform equals shooting a projectile. I have only been able to complete the game once myself.

@caranha: Thanks caranha! Indeed, I need to balance the game even more. I'll probably continue working on the game after LD is over. To make the music, I used magical8bitplugin VST with FL Studio.

covenant 2013-05-05 15:56

Fantastic, I love one-button games, but I'm not creating enough to make one as interesting as this, good job! :)

ludipe 2013-05-05 19:06

Simple, fun and hard. I love the coop option, everything is better with a friend.

minionstudios 2013-05-05 20:26

Soooo Hard! But sweet!

granada 2013-05-05 22:18

Nice audio and graphics. Good job!

tyro 2013-05-05 23:29

Dang, whoever composed the music for this one has a serious knack for it. The gameplay was simple and fun, and you clearly went above and beyond to include a two-player mode. Oh, and of course the graphics look wonderful. Fantastic game!

docix 2013-05-05 23:32

So.... hard..... yet..... so..... easy. Awesome concept and great execution! Great job!

stmatn 2013-05-05 23:35

Nice game! Coop was a very cool idea. The sound is awesome, it reminds me of the old-school 8-bit-games.

dalbinblue 2013-05-05 23:37

Best music I've heard in a game so far; reminds me of the music from Final Fantasy Adventure. As for the game, fun, but really hard to control. I only ever managed to hit four enemies in a single game.

mrblade 2013-05-06 15:17

Good game, I love the sound. Keep up the great work!

free_napalm 2013-05-06 16:09

Interesting mechanic, but really, really hard game. It's hard to survive even without the enemies. Maybe if you could also kill enemies by jumping on them it would be reasonably difficult?

chickentonight 2013-05-07 01:48

Great game! I love the graphics. If I had to pick, I'd say the graphics are better than the gameplay. But both are great!

imagnity 2013-05-07 18:45

Man!!! I wish I could kill more!

susanthecat 2013-05-09 00:08

I loved the graphics. They were very smooth and adorable. The parallax movement was spot on.

angelk 2013-05-09 01:04

I really like how interesting the gameplay can be with the simplicity of just one button. I appreciate the co-op option! I think the hardest part was location awareness; since I kept flying off screen I kept losing exactly where I was.

csanyk 2013-05-19 05:27

For some reason the controls didn't seem responsive to my input. Couldn't really play it.

fnkee 2013-05-20 22:38

Thanks for playing, rating and commenting on my game everyone! After the judging ends, your comments will be the new foundation of what I will improve as I continue working on the game. Once again, thanks everyone (:
