Won in 12 iterations. Gg

kaldrick 2013-08-26 08:59

Won in 10 iterations. I really liked the warp-back-time effect ;)

rave-radbury 2013-08-26 09:00

Fun game, iteration upgrade systems are always a blast. It could have been padded out a bit more.

The music was a bit harsh at first, but I got used to it.

I found myself accidentally skipping through the message the first few times I played, but I enjoyed the active reversal of time (and being able to skip it if I so chose.)

11 iterations

Good to see more shmups in Ludum Dare. At first, I was a little annoyed by the "we have just developed a time machine" message always being the same - but then I realised it's always the same point in time, so of course it'd be the same message. Good game!

linuus 2013-08-26 09:04

That was super fun! And Great music :)

God Job!

krides 2013-08-26 09:34

I really like the time machine effect, really neat! Controls are a bit tight, but I got used to them pretty quickly. Also, for some reason this game made me think about Frog Fractions. Anyway, good job!

manoloko 2013-08-26 09:37

Fun game, one of those that you can't put down until you finish it.
It took me 14 iterations, I found quite hard to avoid beig hit.

lcass 2013-08-26 11:00

Very fun nice idea, doesnt seam to polished.

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 11:00

15 iterations, nice game. I like the upgrade aspect to it (mine is upgradable too :P)

cubertoy 2013-08-26 11:03

Won in 12 iterations, and I have to say that it's pretty addictive and a great concept.

Spotline 2013-08-26 11:32

Great job !

elrobo 2013-08-26 11:39

I really liked this. My only nitpicks: I wish I could buy stuff with keyboard shortcuts so I didn't need to alternate to the mouse. And I wish I could skip/speed up the intro.

I like shooters so I loved the upgrades. The reverse time replay was also really cool (you could use this to make a jerk of a boss who rewound time). Music was nice and fitting.

8 iterations on my first go.

vvolis 2013-08-26 11:44

Fun game! Liked the music, and time rewinding animation is pretty cool. :)
Also a neat interpretation of concept. Good job :)

xera 2013-08-26 12:03

Really nice game, the time reverse effect looked nice! One thing that annoyed me was the repeating intro sequence, I wish you could skip them.

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-26 13:37

Really fun! I like all the "uppgrades" :D

lustdante 2013-08-26 14:16

By far this is the best bgm I've heard. Great rewind effect!

ghostik 2013-08-26 17:51

Great idea! It was fun to play.

tony-pe 2013-08-26 17:53

Neat idea! I enjoyed it, won in 10 iterations.

I would have loved to see something where each time you respawn, your previous tries also respawn alongside you and shoot. That would dictate a lot of design overhaul to make it different and balanced from what you did, but if I had come up with this idea that's probably where my brain would have gone :)

mrcdk 2013-08-26 17:53

Nice game! It took me 13 iterations.

kerinova 2013-08-26 18:06

Won in 11 iterations. Good job :)

packsciences 2013-08-26 19:15

Finished that Game

spiralcodestudio 2013-08-26 19:32

Nice and simple. After a bit of farming was very easy to beat him.
Good music and sound.

paidgeek 2013-08-26 19:37

Nice one. I saw similar thing of upgrading after you die in a few other games. Works really well.

gikdew 2013-08-26 20:02

i loved the art! awesome game!

flamecow 2013-08-26 20:19

Very interesting shooter! It's very fun, I'm just not sure how well it fits with the theme.

adventureislands 2013-08-26 21:42

Won in 10 iterations. Not bad! The ship could have bit smaller collision area though, felt like the bullets hit me way too easily.

latency 2013-08-26 23:06

Game was fun, nice use of the theme, it took me 9 iterations XD

ratalaika 2013-08-27 17:21

good job. similar to the game of the Martians

doubles 2013-08-27 17:26

I love the audio but the game is a bit unbalanced, as you have stated.

grooveman 2013-08-27 17:58

Gaining money, even through time skips was thematically jarring, but this was super fun to play!
Beat it in 7 Iterations, with 2 deaths. It's easier to avoid getting hit if you ignore where you're firing, and focus on your space craft!

diventurer 2013-08-27 19:08

Awesome game! Won in 10 iterations, as I failed a lot the first tries. I really enjoy the music, it's really nice! (I still have the tab open because I like the music ;D )
I felt it was a bit slow during the transitions. I am not fond of long, boring transitions with 5 second fadeout/fadeins. But all in all, this is a nice game and reminds me of when I played Pegasus (a scrolling shooter). :)

darkshadow 2013-08-27 21:04

Loving the time-warp effect, that and the upgrades are the best bits of the game. Movement felt a little weird and Watching the boss constantly crawl up and down the screen during the start, slowed down the otherwise pacey game.

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 21:47

Pretty fun shmup. Loved the time warp effect. Gets really trippy after a good shooting. Perfect balance between the difficulty and the cost of upgrades. Great job!

syawqy 2013-08-28 04:12

i love the turn back in time effect
and i won in 9 iteration

sh1rogane 2013-08-28 20:58

Thanks for all the comments :D
@ellipticaldoor damn i knew i had at least ONE misspelled word(i probably have more) :P
And for the opening transision, i forgot to add skip function for it, sorry ^^;

khopa 2013-08-28 22:29

Wow, very good game.
One of my favorites so far :)

wintermute 2013-08-28 22:30

The game is simple but good, nice shooting and upgrades, feels very ok!

crazi456 2013-08-29 07:53

8 iterations. Was pretty fun!

arrow-x 2013-08-29 11:45

ohhhh particles

justi 2013-08-29 18:52

Cool, addicting game ! 12 iterations in first time. In plus: upgrades and sound. Good work !

timtipgames 2013-08-31 11:21

I loved the timewarp feature!

delca 2013-08-31 20:58

8 iterations is my best.
The time-rewinding effect is cool, and the game in itself gives a good vibe. I really wished it was longer when I finally defeated the ennemy for the first time.
Anyway, this is a good game. Congratulations on your work!

finnegan2100 2013-09-01 04:47

Why can't people make simple, fun games like this more often? Loved it. I'm sure people are saying the music didn't fit, but I think it's a FANTASTIC match!

jellycakes 2013-09-01 21:36

Was pretty cool, the time reversing effect was cool I admit but slightly unnecessary. The upgrade system was fun though so good job on that.

motty 2013-09-03 14:43

Great little game. Nice one.

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-04 00:35

One of my favorite game thus far. Great job! I featured it in my video compilation series of LD27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyApng3Bq-c

urth 2013-09-05 17:04

Better than my entry :)

antidote 2013-09-06 19:08

Not a big fan on the "Die a couple of times until you get strong enough to kill the enemy" mechanics ;x but that's just my personal taste. The game is nice and well done, won in 10 iterations.

Made a video while playing talking about what I was thinking

I hit upload to youtube but apparently takes a long time for twitch to transfer it to youtube... So if you're reading this in the future and twitch has deleted the video, you can check:

In the beginning I had no clue what was going on. Managed to win in 12 iterations.
