love the visual style!

Very neat with the shapes.

Could you supply a 32-bit version? It looks interesting, all those beautiful polygons.

woftles 2013-08-26 02:52

I was fairly sure that was a 32 bit version uploaded, but I'll go repackage in a bit. If anyone on Mac can comment on whether that version works, I'm not able to test it myself.

Loved it! But it sucks that you can't shoot in a direction while going to other direction. Apart from that it's pretty cool.

Wouldn't run for me on OS X :/

namrog84 2013-08-26 03:27

Absolutely loved the style and graphics and sound effects!

I would have loved a keyboard control to move and shoot differently though, but

Game was done extremely well!

Made me lol.

love the synthesized voices. very challenging and fun to play.

Nice clean graphics style. I liked that you could only shoot forward, that makes the gameplay a little more unique.

patrickgh3 2013-08-26 03:31

The bullet-time effect was really smooth.

woftles 2013-08-26 03:33

Any errors given Zuige? I don't have a mac so I can't test my packages.

ethankennerly 2013-08-26 03:36

The clean polygons and computer voice enhanced the shooting and dodging that alerted me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered exploring another powerup?

ultravisitor 2013-08-26 03:36

This is really fun. Doing badly is just as fun as doing well. Thanks Obama indeed.

woftles 2013-08-26 03:53

The game is definitely packaged for win32. Make sure you unzip it before running. If you have any other problems please comment away and I'll get it sorted.

Ethankennerly, I have considered more powerups that alter your projectiles in more interesting ways that statistics.

arcticleaf 2013-08-27 16:32

pretty cool, the visual style is good

prettymuchbryce 2013-08-28 01:39

I got an error.

Heh, the screenshot makes it look like a long lost cousin of my own entry. Nifty game!

brighterorange 2013-08-28 03:08

My favorite thing about this one was how the moving and aiming were using the same control, which totally messed with my usual way of playing this kind of game. I didn't find myself using bullet time very much... The difficulty wasn't with everything happening too fast, but with the speed I can shoot, I think.

woftles 2013-08-29 00:06

There's no limit on how fast you can click and there are powerups for bullet speed. Bullet time can increase your overall fire rate if you want to use it as a volley strategy.

laelien 2013-08-29 00:23

Okay, I should probably stop playing now, or I'll stay up all night. Loved it, 'nuff said.

joelrobichaud 2013-08-29 00:30

The graphics and sounds somehow pair up very nicely. Had fun playing it!

danex317 2013-08-29 16:28

I wish I could have moved in a different direction than I was shooting. But I loved everything else.

evilobjective 2013-08-29 16:28

Couldn't play on OSX :(

Alright thanks. I'll retry the port ASAP.

zeppelincaptain 2013-09-01 13:42

Score: 729, 144 seconds and yes I feel proud! Watch out for this magical polygon!

I like how you have to be strategic in which enemy you're moving towards/aiming at. Very smooth controls, and clean audio/visual design.

rustybroomhandle 2013-09-01 14:35

Very stylish! Also, haha - 1000+ fps here.

terrabyte 2013-09-15 15:56

I really like the visuals and idea! It gets quite addictive after a while :)
