I like the sound and the visuals, but I couldn't really play it because I never figured out the controls. Got S for down and Z for up or something like that - which was very confusing.

i guess the game would be much more fun with fixed controls. But anyway, great music and great visuals.
I've made an update about the controls. Sorry for it, it's made to be played on an Azerty Keyboard :/
You should simply accept both Z and W for up, and A and Q for left, this way it would work with Azerty and Qwerty keyboards. :)
How am I supposed to shoot? (I'm using an Xbox controller) Also, is this normal that I just won by being killed several times in a row, without being able to collect a single battery? It seems I earned 10 seconds each time I died O.o
Or maybe I was just lucky and I spawned on a 62 seconds battery...
I finally found the shoot key ! (It's RB)
Here's my comment after playing the game.
Beautiful visuals and great music, good idea. Some things prevented me from fully enjoying the game though:
- the controls, even with a controller: I would rather have the character aim in the direction he is moving, and I'd prefer an other shoot key.
- the enemies respawning super fast and in the same spawn point (maybe other enemies actually)
- dying at the moment I finally found where I just spawned (need some visual notification here, easily noticeable from the entire screen)
Other than that, it's a very nice concept, and very close to be a fully enjoyable game imo!
To Niavlys, Thanks you for your comments, i'm happy than you like my visuals ^^. Sorry for the problems... it's only because we didn't have the time to do everything :/ , for exemple, i created the animations (teleportations) for know where we will respawn, but no time for put it in the game. (sorry for my english)
You should add a shield when you just spawned ^^ I think it's better in multiplayer :B
