Amazing!

disdanes 2013-08-26 02:24

The soundtrack and the graphics on this are incredible, I love it!

badgerpriest 2013-08-26 06:36

I don't what this is but I like it.

ghandhi 2013-08-26 07:57

Badger badger badger :U

shellfishgames 2013-08-26 08:32

Fascinating stuff. Very energetic.

teddy 2013-08-26 09:56

I love the little voices! where did you get/how did you make those XD

kddekadenz 2013-08-26 10:03

Awesome soundtrack! The game is very fun to play. I like the colors used as well.

targaciej 2013-08-26 10:24

Great style! + 10000 points for crying cat. Music amazing as always.

le_john 2013-08-26 10:47

Just... FUCKING AWASOME !

diogomuller 2013-08-26 10:49

This game put a smile on my face. Very charismatic characters, great music and sound. The mouse controls are a bit strange, but I got used to them after a little time, and I can see it working better on a touchscreen.

oxydam 2013-08-26 12:15

Awesome grphics soudtracks and fun. It's maybe a little bit too easy.

cmahaff 2013-08-26 13:33

Incredibly polished for 48 hours!

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-26 14:18

Beautiful graphics, and music. Loved the choir voices. Definitely the most stylish game I've played so far. And the person who said it was too easy, must be a lot better at it than me!

flai 2013-08-26 17:25

Great game! Awesome graphics and music :) !

as3boyan 2013-08-26 17:28

Very very very good! Great game! Tomato Tomato Tomato!

2013-08-26 17:32

Amazing man!

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 17:33

Aha, this is so good! Love the pixel art and music, one of the best games I've played yet! Very well done for 48 hours. :D

sanojian 2013-08-26 17:46

This game just makes me happy. Great production values and very cute. I like the indirect control of firing too.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
this is fantastic
Tomato tomato tomato :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

dooleus 2013-08-26 18:24

Fantastic art and audio, and the gameplay was very engaging too. Somewhat weak thematic interpretation, but that's easy to overlook when everything else is so strong. Side note: I tried to go to your soundcloud page via the link in the game but for some reason I'm just getting a blank page with the soundcloud toolbar at the top, and it still happened even when I took the s out of https:// or typed in the address manually. I wanted to follow you. :(

Anyways, great work!

dooleus 2013-08-26 18:27

Nevermind, it finally loaded!

eddy93 2013-08-26 18:35

Awesome game! I like the mood of this game :)

diogomuller 2013-08-26 18:41

Oh great, now the theme song will be playing in my head for the rest of the day :)

gfm 2013-08-26 18:59

Is there no way to make those lil veggies eternally happy? >__<

Great game! Both the graphics and the sounds are awesome! :D

munkeebacon 2013-08-26 19:20

:D so fun. Music is great, and your art is sexy :D Fun game play as well

xaychru04 2013-08-26 19:21

Wow, this is the best compo game I've played so far! The graphics are so beautiful and the music is awesome. The vegetables are hilarous too. Amazing game, really. :D

stevesalmond 2013-08-26 20:07

Oh great, now I'm going to have this themesong stuck in my head for the rest of the day! :D My interpretation of the lyrics: 'Yar gunny demon baby John, David made a gun show me'

zerkruemler 2013-08-26 20:14

Very professional. The graphics and sound is really cool. For my skill it is however a little too hard. Maybe I'm just too tired from the weekend.

obscuremoon 2013-08-26 20:41

How on earth did you make this in 48 hours? I'm very impressed, This is the best entry I've played so far!

obscuremoon 2013-08-26 20:49

How on earth did you make this in 48 hours? I'm very impressed, This is the best entry I've played so far!

I just noticed that the veg start to cry when you die :D

This is brilliant!

aschearer 2013-08-26 23:05

Neat art style. Not as excited about the gameplay. Aiming in particular felt overly difficult for no reason.

seconddimension 2013-08-27 00:20

Love the music, love it. Nice graphics too, really enjoyed playing it

jmaggard62 2013-08-27 01:01

Sooo much fun.

nhmllr 2013-08-27 02:27

you win

fullmontis 2013-08-27 08:30

Lovely music and fun gameplay!

rawani 2013-08-27 08:42

Very Very Fun

bneutral 2013-08-27 08:52

Weird controls. Amazing game. Cucamber is a douchebag.

lazyeels 2013-08-27 10:53

Very polished, nice work!! Might need to adjust the controls for android slightly, so your fingers do not obscure the player.

ncannasse 2013-08-27 11:37

Great soundtrack, controls are a bit hard to master (I didn't :)

doonay21 2013-08-27 13:36

Awesome!

domrein 2013-08-27 14:36

I love the graphics and the sound. The atmosphere of the game is just great. I hate the controls.

Hitagi 2013-08-27 15:00

Love this!

tacospice 2013-08-27 15:10

Strange and very cool. Unusual control scheme. Made me pretty confused, but don't take that as criticism!

Nice sounds, nice music. Overall, rather nice!

sanguine 2013-08-27 15:11

As was said before, the audio and graphics are amazing. The game has a lot of personality and that sets a really nice mood. The controls could use some work though.

zanzindorf 2013-08-27 15:47

Fantastic work! I love the graphics and the soundtrack. The aiming is kind of awkward for a sidescoller. It would make more sense if you were defending something in the middle with enemies appearing on all sides. Lots of character and fun to play though.

mrspeaker 2013-08-27 16:13

Man, you are a FREAK! This is sooo good - that shooting mechanic is sick! Annnd great tunes as usual.

zkenshin 2013-08-27 16:55

A lot of fun!
Really cute graphics.
Would play again.

moosefly 2013-08-27 17:41

This was amazing :D

gre 2013-08-27 19:53

This is awesome man! Like the last time :)
Keep up the good work.

rxi 2013-08-27 20:25

The music, the visuals, the game play, the cucumber... Good lord.

carduus 2013-08-27 21:31

tomatawesome bro, i love your music !
LD all stars for sure !

bassarisse 2013-08-27 23:30

OMG, this game made me scream every time I lost!

Great graphics, sound, everything! Good job!

blennosoftgames 2013-08-28 00:56

Score: 4320 :D

I don't think I am very good at this game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best motivation to stay alive is to keep the music going, and to keep seeing the funny random mission texts :P

The difficulty was certainly high, but after I got used to it I don't think it was unreasonable.

farfromsleep 2013-08-28 01:39

What else is there to say? Charming, super-polished, fantastic fun.

zelen3d 2013-08-28 01:50

This is so epic! Best thing I ever seen. The mouse and shooting is a bit hard at the beginning, but the game is so good and random, that you just keep playing it. Plus, your game has so many extras that you don't find out at first.

Also, people: once the game is loaded, don't play right away. Wait at least ten seconds!

daanvanyperen 2013-08-28 08:26

You have a talent for creating unique games with a distinct art style that are very clean and polished. Music great as always. Highest scores so far. Bravo!

valandre 2013-08-28 11:29

One of my 3 favorite games of this LD. thanks a lot for the android version. your music and sfx are just crazy!!!

deepnight 2013-08-28 12:31

Excellent game :) The controls are really strange and don't feel natural at all, but I guess it was intended.

The music & sfx are perfect :)

raggy 2013-08-28 13:11

The best I've played all competition!

Unfortunately, the level stopped scrolling on my best run (though I could still shoot and move the butterflies): http://i.imgur.com/5017QsX.png No errors in the JavaScript console.

vaalen 2013-08-28 13:19

Really funny game with a great and particular mood.

saintheiser 2013-08-28 14:14

Not bad!
Like the main concept is good. Controls are interesting but needs to polish. Good visuals and sounds. Well done!

zatyka 2013-08-29 00:20

The gameplay was pretty difficult to get used to, but I really liked the art great style and music. Pretty cool overall.

drkrunk 2013-08-29 00:52

As expected rezoner your games are always awesome.

beardbotnik 2013-08-29 01:51

Awesome game, the aiming is a little awkward but everything else is fantastic. I absolutely love the music and the bouncing vegetables and fruit.

zillix 2013-08-29 05:57

amazing. the gameplay is great, the music and art was fantastic, the game has a great personality, and I GOT TO PLAY WITH VEGETABLES!!!

farmergnome 2013-08-29 08:20

One of my favorites if not favorite, so much polish! Well done bro.

zccc 2013-08-29 11:17

I didn't really find it fun to play, but it has amazing graphics and music :D

adventureislands 2013-08-29 13:35

Not sure what the hell happened but it was hilarious! Great game, interesting control style that takes a moment to get used to, but plays pretty well. Great soundtrack! Nice work!

2013-08-29 17:20

Where do I go to buy the soundtrack? :D Simply amazing!

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-29 20:54

OMG hahahahaa I'm still laughing at the potatoes planting themselves. Ok, this is SUCH fun, top marks!!! Very retro and very contemporary at the same time. Thanks for making it!

naufr4g0 2013-08-30 00:16

Awesome shooter! :) I love vegetables, they are very cute! :)
I really like the indirect system of aiming, even though at the beginning they looks uncomfortable.
The track is awesome! :)

crazi456 2013-08-30 02:43

Extremely fun game! Nice work!

xhunterko 2013-08-30 07:21

Wow. Just wow.

justi 2013-08-30 10:30

The funniest Ludum Dare game ever :) I'm impressed your music and graphics. Well crafted professional work.

hypnohustla 2013-08-30 12:02

Love the funky feeling of this. The aiming and movement took some time to get used to, but I liked that you didn't go the usual route. Also this is the first game that made me nod my head to the music. :) Great game!

rincewind_cz 2013-08-30 16:14

Potato, potato, potato! *****. You deserve 6 stars for the audio though...

ratalaika 2013-08-30 16:31

good job

rpmoura 2013-08-30 23:25

One of the best I played so far!

Gnux 2013-08-31 08:53

Fun game, sweet music.

nezzhil 2013-08-31 10:25

Awesome soudntrack, graphics... A 5 stars!!

ign 2013-08-31 11:47

Nice one, but little bit hard to aim enemies.

pereubu 2013-08-31 12:21

hehe nice art and audio here.
The game got frutrating-ishly hard for me, maybe it's my slowy slowy compter 3:
Awesome job overall

wine 2013-08-31 12:23

Mother of Potato ... Great work! )

pixelfan 2013-08-31 12:26

hahahah so much fun, i love graphics, music, sounds. Awesome job. i love it!

brotherst 2013-08-31 13:26

brilliant. only problem I had with it is that when you mouse off the browser the cursor stops. Apart from that, flawless.

pickensincorporated 2013-08-31 13:51

...What did I just play?

Whatever happened in the past half hour, I like it. Soundtrack please!

My highest rated so far :D

GreyShock 2013-08-31 14:14

Wow! Amazing, very funny! I love the music :D

brotherst 2013-08-31 14:31

Just got a bit further and it gets very choppy in the harder levels. I have a pretty powerful setup. Maybe it's just a limitation of flash?

kazukishida 2013-08-31 15:10

Awesome work man! Loved the art style, the sound (haha were those recorded with your voice?), and music! Hope you'll release it on Soundcloud too! (or maybe you already have but I've yet to check) I was a bit confused at the movement and aiming controls, but I eventually got the hang of it.
Great game! :D

erhune 2013-08-31 15:44

I wish I could give 10 stars for the voice work...

neekobus 2013-08-31 19:34

Very good graphics and sounds.
Very smooth.
I don't like the "auto fire".

lokarunith 2013-08-31 21:20

Lovely entry, completely addictive! The sound is amazing, I love the opening song, you did an awesome job.

lalanl 2013-09-01 06:11

Excellent.

andrewves 2013-09-01 06:54

Interesting concept and great graphics. Good entry.

shivers 2013-09-01 09:38

Awesome!!! :D

nsadie 2013-09-01 18:36

Nice gameplay, good graphics and excellent controls! Very bizarre, but fun!

pickensincorporated 2013-09-02 10:39

Ooh! Just realised, the menu without the words would make a brilliant screensaver :D

gamecook 2013-09-04 11:21

Loved the artwork! Found it a bit hard to wrap my head around controlling the ship but very interesting concept once I got it.

koe415 2013-09-05 02:27

The music and overall audio in this game is fantastic! Just the main menu music on loop is enough to win me over on this! Great job!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-09-05 21:11

The jumping characters are great :D

Game is a bit hard to figure out though

lesterpig 2013-09-08 09:57

All 5 for this AMAZING work !
Can't stop playing !!!

pierrec 2013-09-09 06:52

I can't get used to the controls, impossible. But it doesn't prevent me to play this game over and over...this is good dope! really good dope

colapsydo 2013-09-09 10:30

Quite addictive even if the aiming control is not so intuitive.
Cucumber Cucumber Cucumber!

wilbefast 2013-09-10 11:38

Linux user high-five ^_^ awesome game :D Very polished, very finished, and the audio is great (potato, potato, potato)... Not my favourite control scheme of all time, but somehow the humour (crying vegetables) and sheer insanity mean that I don't really mind dying at all :)

amour-maternel 2013-09-10 13:22

Very nice game, simple and classic but new. The music is great! Also i love vegetables.

motty 2013-09-11 00:30

Woah. I have no idea what is going on. I don't care. I love this.

aquilicoco 2013-09-11 13:38

Great game as always

smash-ball 2013-09-14 16:33

Well this has definitely become one of my more favorite games I have played thus far.

sestren 2013-09-14 22:36

Cool graphics and music. I really liked the voices on the vegetables.

vladimirdlc 2013-09-15 01:33

This was cool and quick fun, good use of js, it worked perfectly on my android

loxo 2013-09-15 17:04

Great game! I like the simple and clean graphics, the hilarious voices and the great atmosphere. I don't like the white rectangle after destroying something, it looks like a glitch to me.

theholychicken 2013-09-15 23:34

This is sooooo addicting!! Weird as hell and super addicting D:

x-or 2013-09-17 07:33

You should have totally scored #1 on audio =)
I read in one of the above comments that linking to soundcloud through your game is not working correctly, maybe you can open it in a new tab rather than creating a new window? Not sure if it works, though ^_^
