When the game starts again Im shooting without pressing the mouse

tork 2013-08-25 15:34

I can't shoot

robashton 2013-08-25 15:52

Browsers people, browsers??? :)

robashton 2013-08-25 15:53

(I got some issues in Firefox I'm looking at now, I can't test in IE but it works in Chrome)

robashton 2013-08-25 16:00

Fixed at least @Tork's problem I think - I can't do much about that first issue unless I know more about it

10669 pts is my best.
The game is cool and works fine in Chrome ;)

Tried it in firefox, it ran fine (maybe tad slow). Liked this simple arcadey shooter. Good job :)

"OH NO DEAD!" :D Funny. Love the graphics, the little guys look like PacMan ghosts.

Pretty addicting game. I'm not sure if I love or hate the blur effect, after some time I got tired of it.

Great game overall. Working on Chrome.

robashton 2013-08-26 11:12

Yeah - it's a little slow, I was trying a different way of writing code for this jam and it went hideously wrong :D

Fun game :) (Opera 12.16 - all OK)

I love the visual effects. Probably making it possible to collect time from a longer distance will make the game play better - now it's really hard to collect time when you move fast enough.

Nice game, I like the motion blur effects in all the sprites, it would be nice if you could add some music/sounds. Tested in chrome (Ubuntu).

robashton 2013-08-26 11:19

Afraid I was at my girlfriend's house for this and didn't have any instruments with me. I played with a synth to see if I could get some sounds in but linux kept crashing so I gave up :)

zelun 2013-08-26 11:32

Working good in chrome. Wow, 'blur' is very psicodelic. XD

The controls felt very smooth. For a from-scratch game in 48 hours, this is impressive!

smudgedcat 2013-08-26 13:00

That was fun! It feels a bit slow at first but with everyone coming at you from all angles the speed is probably about right.

Good side –- it's really fun!
Bad side -- it's repetitive, there are no different enemy types with different movement/attack patterns.

I like the graphics very much. All those multicolored enemies and pixel explosions are rad!
I can't hear any music or sfx. Should there be any?

Also I think that adding the multiplayer hi-scores table will greatly improve the game giving the player a goal.

Overall it's a nice little game.

OH NO DEAD! Well done.

plancien 2013-08-28 00:21

what a carnage ! red all over my screen. This was fun. I like the fact that when you take a hourglass, it restores all your time. This adds a bit of tactic, you can stay around a second hourglass just in case, a shoot from here.

Works very fine on Chrome. Well done !

udo 2013-08-28 08:11

It's a solid concept and the game runs very smoothly. I wish the screen was bigger though! A bit of sound effects would have made this even better. I think it's great to finally see some more JS games at LD. Keep it up! :)

Nice Game, I just couldn't get it to restart, and then it kind of bugged out.

gsmproductions 2013-09-02 14:17

(Hey Rob, Grungi/Bastien that guy from Belgium here!) So. Much. Particles. :D Makes for a great little shooter though (not only the particles, I mean). Got quite into it, and loved the audio cue that the timer was almost out. Very well done!

loxo 2013-09-13 14:20

Nice game that fits the theme. It's a bit slow though. Some audio would be nice.
