Wow, very fun to play and well made ! I like the graphics and the sound. It really looks like a "real" game, which is impressive in only 48 hours.

I like the intro hehe, make me laugh! One problem I see to this game, I that sometimes a huuuuge number of enemies are spawned so no way I can kill'em all in 10 seconds :(.

Nice work ;)

Fun game! The shooting mechanics feel great and I was curious to explore the map.

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 13:22

Nice! Well polished, really fun game :D
I love the guy's voice xD

justi 2013-08-26 18:37

Well made game with intro and music. Nice levels. Flash rulez :)

packsciences 2013-08-26 19:36

Ah really hard game.

suese 2013-08-26 19:37

Fun and complete.

doonay21 2013-08-26 19:37

Cool game! Loved the sound and music :)

split82 2013-08-26 19:55

Score 5709. I think it would be much better if the aiming is done with the mouse, or another directional keys. Anyway it's a great game! :) Love the music and that synthetic voice talking :D

Liked this game a lot... reminded me somewhat of a redux Binding of Isaac... I think it would have benefited from more varied enemies or enemies with more "surprising" AI, but it is very very polished, good fun, and a "complete package".

Good luck in the compo!

4628. Never found the good doctor but had fun killing the bots. I eventually ran out of despite making it to the next room and the counter resetting to 10. I guess I cut it too close picking up an extra power up.

leafo 2013-08-27 06:29

sweet music

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 14:14

Hard as hell. Nice job though, the shooting mechanic worked well. :) There was some funny bits in it too. Loved the dialogue.

Nice job! Like polegar said, feels great for a 48 hour game.
+ great controls, strafing works really well
+ great sounds and music and computer voice
+ fun powerups
- did not like the bullet-time powerup, made it painfully slow getting to the next room
- wasn't sure if i was going the right direction

codecranker 2013-08-28 02:26

Nice game. Music is intense.

kurama_youko 2013-08-28 03:47

Should be on Jam, you can't use pre-made (even free) assets in compo.

kurama_youko 2013-08-28 03:48

Very cool, nevertheless :)

n0_named_guy 2013-08-28 20:49

I won't rate your game, neither post my video review of it until you drop this entry to the Jam. Please abide by the rules.

Dagnarus 2013-08-28 23:57

17'581... That game really hooked me I guess :D
The theme is pretty well used (even if poorly justified ;)), the graphics are ok, the music fits perfectly, the powerups have noticeable effects, the hero is... just awesome
The controls are unusual and still feel natural which is great. It took me a couple of tries to actually get it actually , but after that I went on and rocked the house :D (and it actually felt a bit easy)
All the elements of the game come together really well. It truly has some epic moments (room filled with bullets and explosions? Bullettime activated? Let's just phlegmatically drop a "I am... on fire" when that last bot explodes :D)
One note on the bullettime btw : awesome during a fight, a PAIN when the room is empty :D

@N0_Named_Guy : Isn't it a bit harsh? LD is not a contest and rules are merely a general guideline. Sure the guy should have posted in Jam, but he still did an awesome job for 48 hours and deserves better comments than yours (you sounds like you want to punish him tbh)
I hope that you are not on a personal crusade against those who used free sounds assets (which probably is 80% of the people who didn't use bfxr ;D) or those who don't post their sources... because you have a looong road ahead.

n0_named_guy 2013-08-29 03:03

Video review link is here: http://www.twitch.tv/n0_named_guy/c/2835448

Note: I am not trying to punish anyone, just trying to be fair. @Dagnarus: I didn't mean to be harsh on the guy. It's sad that it's so hard convey a "tone" to written words. And so here it is, rated. And yes, he did quite a nice job for 48 hours.

papygaragos 2013-08-29 06:12

@Dagnarus Actually he was waiting to rate my game because we thought switching it to a Jam entry would reset all the ratings I already received. I did try to switch, but it appears it is too late to do so. So I updated the description to explain the description as best as I could. I would appreciate it if we could keep this comments thread about the game itself.

Anyway, thanks for the (overly enthusiastic?) feedback :)

lightmarestudio 2013-08-29 12:17

Pretty fun! :D

2013-08-29 16:50

Love your game. Don't listen to hatters...

hd408 2013-08-29 19:51

Intense shooting action, well done! Bullet time bonus was surprising. Music and sounds really add the mood, too.

psychomonster 2013-08-29 19:58

What a soundtrack... the music alone keeps me playing that game... I love it. Thanks... controls are very simple and easy to master.... difficulty level is a little to hight... Dying all the the time :D

thermite 2013-08-29 22:38

Really nice work, directional fire controls would give it that last little bit of polish. Good job!

frozencow 2013-08-30 00:50

Very enjoyable game. The 10 seconds timelimit really forces you to keep the pace and don't go looting everything before leaving a room. Really liked the voices too.

taiters 2013-09-01 09:35

Great game, well done! Enjoyed the feel of the shooting (holding to strafe etc). The one thing that I didn't like was that enemies could sometimes spawn too close to an entrance, so I would sometimes be hit as soon as I enter a room.

vikingpotato 2013-09-03 06:16

One of fun games to play in this jam! Its funny the way he says 'ouch' :P

robertcalvert 2013-09-04 18:45

I really like this game, the audio is a prefect fit with the graphics and feel. GREAT!

_alts 2013-09-05 06:33

Nice instance of a Smash TV-like game. The mechanics, while not particularly innovated, were well executed, and the whole game felt very solid. Nice work.

emveyh 2013-09-06 19:33

Good work :) the controls took a bit time to get used to, but other than that it was just great :)

exergy 2013-09-14 12:55

Really enjoyed your game!

porglezomp 2013-09-14 21:44

Pretty fun!
