It's "space invaders" meets "1943" meets "Xenon 2" which still makes it a winner in my book. Nicely done.

Cool game, nice atmosphere!

Nice sound effects!

Very simple but nice polish and fx!

The gameplay is simply! But the sounds are extra!!

Great atmosphere and audio, but it's really hard to hit the enemies! I think the game could benefit from more forgiving collision test =).

you can go a long way with the diagonal shooting and clinging to the edge. Nice art, nice music.

The atmosphere and audio is amazing. The headphones really did a whole lot - thanks for suggesting it! Pretty polished, and I loved the deep boom signaling a successful shot.

Nice. Galaga on steroids.
Nice sound effects and a good choice of music.
Played solidly and the little spaceships had its simple charm.
At first I thought 'who is the idiot that puts fire and movement for the same hand?" And then I found it had autofire :)
Consistent style also, the game, menu, choice menu and hi-score ui were all the same retro style.
It was pretty hard, because the ship moved so fast (the reverse of my game then :)

Very nicely executed and a great setup. One minor UI nitpick: I would typically expect the whole screen to flash only when I get hit, not when I successfully hit an enemy. This lead to some confusing moments where I wasn't entirely sure if I had run into something.

What did you use to get the sfx?

Can you spell minimalism? Never saw so much fun with so few pixels (and half pixels, in fact).

Bookmarked your game for later. Great one!

Wow cool sound design man. Extremly hard difficulty because the fire button ^^ and the fast shooting frequency of the enemys... Liked the very minimalistic gameart. Thanks!

Nnnice! :)

grifdail 2013-12-21 09:46

Whaou... THe game is so beautiful, it's sad it's so hard...

mygrandmother 2013-12-21 12:29

I love this type of game and I like your version of it. maybe the controll of the spaceship should be a little bit more precise but great job

shigor 2013-12-21 17:12

The game from time when single pixel could mean something.

gene-z 2013-12-21 19:12

undonedevs 2013-12-21 19:17

Very nice game! In enjoyed it a lot! Nice music ;)

muciojadpl 2013-12-22 11:39

Very good, I love low-bit-style graphic, and yours is amazing! Very cool explode effect by the way ;) Sounds are good, but the music not really suit me;) Overall - very good! :D

matx 2013-12-23 20:04

Nice effects considering the amount of pixels involved.

potomak 2013-12-30 00:32

Nice game design.

Really cool game. The little variations among enemies, I loved that. And the audio and the mood was simply great, it did make it feel like a dream.
