unique graphical art style, great gameplay (I like how you build your own army). Surpised you guys lack more ratings! go rate some games!

I loved this game. Amazing work on graphics, furious gameplay, one of the best of LD26 so far. Just one thing that could be better is the controls, no need to use mouse button if theres no mouse aim. All in keyboard would be more comfortable.

Amazing job!

captain_genial 2013-05-01 14:30

Woow ...
Woow...

Just perfect !
Graphic 5/5 (i already know sephy art, but here ... wow)
Fun 5/5

pereubu 2013-05-01 14:37

omfg, best game i've played so far. The concept is great, it's smooth and polished, art is great with a cool audio?
Very very very nice job :D

minionstudios 2013-05-01 14:46

Love this game! I think I will be playing this one for a while... gotta get more mustache warrior types. Would have been even more excellent if you gave it some graphic depth like the load screen (3D style)

intripoon 2013-05-01 15:02

Wow, this is a fantastic game. Well done :)

Sadly it crashed for me after playing for a while. I'll have to start again from the beginning now :(

miharbi 2013-05-01 15:18

Incredible game. So much fun to play and the graphics are really cool. One of the funnest and best LD games so far.

robotality 2013-05-01 15:31

okay this one was really great, love it.

lightsoda 2013-05-01 15:37

Quite fun, well done.

iamorim 2013-05-01 16:49

Good job guys!! :D

intripoon 2013-05-01 17:32

I tried running it on another pc. It has win8 64bit and the game complains that it can't run because msvcrt71.dll is missing. That's the vc2003 runtime - which can not easily be installed on win7 and win8 64 bit. Could you compile a version against at least vc2005?

nicso 2013-05-01 17:49

awesome concept ! realisation is great, audio could had a little bit more love but hey.
A bit repetitive at the end tho, due to the impression a brute forcing the level rather than using skll.

netpro2k 2013-05-01 22:02

I like how your previous army members remain, so your forces continue to increase.

pixeloaks 2013-05-01 22:06

This is awesome!

multitude 2013-05-01 22:15

LOVE THIS! MORE MORE MORE! :D

psychomonster 2013-05-01 22:20

Wtf... best game of ludum dare Jam Iplayed so far ...

bakudas 2013-05-02 01:15

AWESOMEM !!! tons of congrats

zkenshin 2013-05-02 01:19

Really fun game. :)

moomoo112 2013-05-02 06:14

You need to provide WASD movement if you are going to have mouse aiming, using arrow keys and the mouse is extremely uncomfortable
Besides that, this was a fun game

edocentrique 2013-05-02 09:32

Maximum fun ! Very very good game !

delahee 2013-05-02 11:59

Bah les mecs, deja la grosse baffe d'inside my radio, et puis mustache army, ca demonte quoi ! gg
Game Maker FTW !

thijsku 2013-05-02 17:44

Awesome game! Best entry I've played so far :D

eternal_rest 2013-05-03 05:12

Crashes :(

saintheiser 2013-05-03 06:19

Awesome game, man =)
I really impressed with your concept =)

jellycakes 2013-05-04 21:58

Really decent game. Very well polished and I liked the dying mechanics. Really well done.

mortl8324 2013-05-04 22:02

My favourite entry by far. REALLY good job.

loxo 2013-05-05 09:00

Looks good, but I can't run it because of missing MSVCR71.dll.

kill0u 2013-05-05 13:36

Amazing!

mrx 2013-05-05 14:29

couldn't play the game because of missing MSVCR71.dll
unfortunate.

kill0u 2013-05-05 15:11

Just realized you did Inside my Radio too. No wonder this game was so good :D

vapgames 2013-05-05 15:13

That's a very cool game. Lots of fun. Reminds me of Super Time Force.

ym 2013-05-05 16:10

39 soldiers used.

alanzucconi 2013-05-05 17:22

The graphics of this game is something really amazing! :)

kefir 2013-05-05 17:24

Maybe we've just got the Jam Winner? Really. Little more balance work and it'll become new worldwide hit!

0beah 2013-05-05 18:08

THIS IS BEYOND BRILLIANT. This needs to be a full game. I love it .

fadobo 2013-05-05 20:07

First (after adding some DLLs to start the game) I was like "Huh, whats going on?" and it was pure awesomeness from my third or fourth death on (yep, it took me that long to figure it out...)

shigor 2013-05-05 20:25

You are teh winners. Enough said.

killedbyapixel 2013-05-06 01:40

That was fantastic, great work! Does not fit the theme but it was still super fun. I made it through using 45 soldiers.

hayawi 2013-05-06 03:08

Good game, I love how when you buy a unit, it produces an ai copy :D

gungnir 2013-05-06 15:24

I had a blast. Many times over. This really kept me hooked for a good while, I'd love to see you expand it post-comp.

Cursor got a little hard to see after things got... chaotic :)

eatenalive3 2013-05-06 21:15

Congraturations! Amazing game :P

It was kind of odd that it slowed/sped up occasionally though.

lathomas64 2013-05-06 23:41

wow, I was skeptical from the name but this turned out to be a really fantastic game!

phocker 2013-05-07 04:56

missing msvcr71.dll? any thoughts?

jod 2013-05-10 16:47

42 soldiers used. Awesome! Love the gameplay and finding out that you get more soldier dudes each playthrough :).

josriley 2013-05-10 19:39

Really love the art style, and the feeling you get when the battle get's bigger than you later on.

shellfishgames 2013-05-11 08:05

Excellent. From the 75 entries I rated before not a single one comes close to this. Absolutely amazing!
33 soldiers btw.

covebit 2013-05-11 11:05

The art style is cool, but the concept is stolen from flash game with exactly the same mechanics, the same units and plays and feels like the same game.

madball 2013-05-11 16:09

What the heck is MSVCP71.dll? I can`t run the game because I don`t have it...
Installed it. The game is extra fun, and I liked the music. I found a bug(?): the bazookamens` ($800) missles have a veeery long range. Using this [s]awesome[/s] terrifying bug, I completed the game with 4 soldiers and over $100000 left.

janmavzla 2013-05-11 16:24

Simply amazing! Can't wait to play more stuff made by you guys.

P.S.: For those having the msvcp71.dll problem, just google it and download it. It will work if you put it in the game folder. Makers should include the file in the .rar

brant 2013-05-11 20:09

My favorite game of the jam so far! When I started and thought that I should cautiously cut off people slowly, Commandos style, I was pretty excited. When I saw what the game was really about, damn that exploded my head.

Did it with 16 soldiers. I guess that's ok.

turbodindon 2013-05-11 23:14

Thank you all for your comments! Glad to see you enjoyed the game.

@Cell : Could you give us the name of the flash game you're talking about?
We would like to see how close we are from the "stolen" original concept. No, sorry Sherlock, but it's a pure coincidence. I don't think copying games fits with LD's philosophy and it´s not ours to.

alfonzm 2013-05-12 02:41

Very addicting gameplay! My favorite entry so far. The game crashes frequently for me though so I couldn't get to finish it. But nevertheless, awesome work! 5/5!

pacifistgames 2013-05-13 14:22

That was AWESOME!
Completed the game with 33 soldiers!
Amazing job guys!

rafaelsales 2013-05-13 15:10

Extremely well done and fun. I hope to see some twist in concept to fit better to the theme. Congrats!

bomberbox 2013-05-13 16:15

Really nice gameplay and art style very well down!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-13 16:24

Excellent game here. Solid art style, fun mechanics -- what can I ask for more? Great job!

klianc09 2013-05-13 18:54

I think there is a bug, it says "Soldiers Used: 2" although I know I have used 3 :P (I guess you should fix the bazooka soldiers)
But seriously, this is a great game, really loved it. Would have liked to use WASD for movement though.

michail 2013-05-13 22:29

Simply awesome awesomeness! The best jam entry!

ahm99 2013-05-14 05:16

I think that this is the best game I've played. You could definitely market this. I loved the graphics. I just wish there were more levels. I would like to see this in a full game. Reminded me of TF2. Great job :)

ahm99 2013-05-14 16:19

It was so much fun that I had to play again. First time I got 72 but this time it was only 19 soldiers. I DEMAND MORE LEVELS!

m-gryko85 2013-05-14 18:37

OMG 5/5. just Awesome!

ahm99 2013-05-15 05:02

My best run:
Money: $107,450
Soldiers: 16

dector 2013-05-15 12:26

Grrrrreat!

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 14:01

Damn, dll trouble on my computer, the game is not playable. The graphics and gamplays looks nice, and it's well polished,I like this game, good job ... but I think it's not really on the theme.

johnnysix 2013-05-15 20:32

Really fun and chaotic, loved the slow accumulation of the army. An action replay of the final 'win' scenario would be cool as an added bonus when you finally capture the enemy base. :)

farmergnome 2013-05-16 09:00

WINNER. Seriously, its over guys, Mustache Armies takes gold, see ya'll next Ludum Dare.

xploitgames 2013-05-17 14:21

It took 3 different windows machines before we could get this to work, which is a massive downside for you guys and a real shame for the people who can't stick it out. Luckily we knew it would be worth our while and we were impressed. The theme link is tenuous (really feels like "Death is significant"), but the gameplay is what is really important here. I easily spent 30mins on a single game trying to find the best strategy. It has a great feel and is a lot of fun. Gameplay feedback I think that the past versions of you should possibly take some of the damage as well as inflicting it. It is just as hard to dodge the last attempt as it is the first despite a wall of people being cleared. Such a minor point on an otherwise solid, addictive game. Great job!

phocker 2013-05-18 01:48

BEST GAME!!! 15 Soldiers for the Victory!

bender 2013-05-18 11:53

Pretty fun !

alprog 2013-05-19 11:26

Actually, I did not complete this one. It crashes on my computer at the end of game :(
But anyway it is very exciting gameplay. Epic and fun!

ilo 2013-05-19 11:48

Brilliant game! Only downsides were the not allowing WASD movement and one occasion where my bazookas went through the enemy without hitting.

norritt42 2013-05-19 22:23

Grate work!

snoringfrog 2013-05-20 10:30

"The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer." Unfortunately, this means I can't play apparently.

Windows 7 64bit.

snoringfrog 2013-05-20 11:03

Ok, had to go download the apparently missing dll's and drop them in the folder with the game, but I got it working. And I'm glad I did, definitely was worth playing. One small issue was the apparently infinite range of the rockets from the 800 soldier. It really came in handy, but felt a bit cheap.

noa 2013-05-20 11:13

awesome guys!!

fermcg 2013-06-02 00:39

Beat it with 3 soldiers (or two as the game says): http://youtu.be/2t6_al4M488
