One of my favourite looking. Love the art style.

2013-12-15 20:57

It looks good, but the HTML5 sites crash the google chrome pages and when I hit the ship in the .exe it crashes the game also. :(

bitslap 2013-12-15 21:08

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I fixed it.

primaerfunktion 2013-12-15 21:14

It's really cool but it's also damn hard.

gnargle 2013-12-15 21:23

This is awesome. Fantastic concept.

ponk 2013-12-15 21:39

SoooOo NnnNiiiiiiiicee....!!

orni 2013-12-15 21:41

I love it - please don't forget to upload the source code as well

bitslap 2013-12-15 21:44

Source added!

Great art style, and the music is cool. Found it quite difficult but I plan on giving it another go again later when I have more time.

burgerdare 2013-12-16 02:15

It's an extremely pretty game, but the gameplay feels a bit stale. Additionally, it's frustrating that leaving the edge of the screen kills you instead of acting as an invisible wall like in most games of this sort.

sestren 2013-12-16 03:35

I really like the black-and-white graphical style and the sound and music. While short, it's a nice entry overall.

dalloner 2013-12-16 05:46

Nice Job with ProMotion! all the art is really awesome!

turna 2013-12-16 07:03

Interesting looking, but very hard! Quite unique idea to boot!

tannernetwork 2013-12-16 16:23

Graphics are really nice!

adcrusher 2013-12-16 17:20

The pixel art is amazing!The concept kind of reminds me of star wars, trying to shoot down the deathstar, haha. Great game.

rahazan 2013-12-16 18:25

Beautiful pixel art, very short and tough as nails. Wish it were longer!

pighead10 2013-12-16 20:37

Lovely graphics. Confusing at first, or maybe I just suck.

rxi 2013-12-16 21:18

Love it.

The whole thing oozed with niceness: The way the beams looked, the screen shake and particle effects, the 8bit sounds, the epileptic messages and the fast difficult gameplay. The game definitely had some personality. Despite dying over and over I just wanted to keep going.

You managed to pull off the 1bit graphics well. The combined feel of the game and what I think was an excellent utilisation of the theme, made for a lovely overall experience.

capnramses 2013-12-16 22:00

extremely nice presentation! really well done on the composition of all the artistic elements. and it worked really well over the web too

spacefarmer 2013-12-16 22:02

I got the highscore.. in deaths! nice one.

ovenchips 2013-12-16 23:14

I completed your game! Hurrah! This is what it must feel like to be Luke Skywalker. Great art style. Hangs together really well. Wish it was a bit longer though - but that's a good thing! :)

dznemotion 2013-12-17 02:36

I loved it, great pixel art and minimal music.

zkenshin 2013-12-17 04:41

Quite solid entry, well done. :)

sheepolution 2013-12-17 10:04

Woah, this game is hard. The graphics are neat. Good job!

suese 2013-12-17 12:52

I do like difficult games but the difficulty curve on this was way too high. Maybe a wider playing field would have made this more enjoyable.

garethiw 2013-12-17 12:52

I'm not good with bullet hell, but I made it with a score of 3! Loved the two-colour art, took me right back to my BBC micro days!

crowbeak 2013-12-17 13:05

I really love the graphics on this.

sanguine 2013-12-17 13:15

Great art style and great music. Fun game overall :)

teamtechno 2013-12-17 17:39

Overall a very challenging and fun game, but I never got very far into it. Leaving the edge of the screen kills you? Keep up the good work.

hirsch 2013-12-17 19:54

The game is really difficult, but i found out that you can escape the death rays by flying behind the boss - but this tactic fails when those little f#*cking drones come out :D
Nice tune, really nice game :)

cornedor 2013-12-17 19:58

Its maybe a little too hard :P but it also makes you keep trying

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 20:31

Oh my god XD

That was so intense! At first I was a bit confused (maybe add a 'HOLD YOUR FIRE' at the start?) but once I got the hang of it, it was really something :) A bit sad about the lack of music / sound tho, and that it's so short!

Great game :D

jellycakes 2013-12-17 21:39

Pretty cool. I liked the art style. Found it really fun despite how unforgiving the game was. Really nice work.

kookoon 2013-12-17 22:26

Best original idea I've seen yet to match with the theme!
Really fun game too.
I was stupid for the first two tries, though the points were bullets.

samh 2013-12-18 00:30

Very well put together. Hard but not too punishing. One of my favourites so far.

juniorus 2013-12-18 02:04

Neat graphics!

ismyhc 2013-12-18 02:22

Really cool. Love the art style!

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-18 02:51

So amazingly beautiful! If this was released in 1980 or something, the newspapers would be talking about it. Real war in space! Our teenagers are wasting their youth, etc. This is awesome by 2013 standards too

mrtedders 2013-12-18 03:07

Wow this is amazing! really hard but fun. nice music. Only thing that may have been done better is possibly a wider game area?

johnfn 2013-12-18 03:40

Ah, very nicely done. Really hard! The gameplay is really solid though. Only complaint is that points look too much like bullets :P

devo 2013-12-18 03:47

that art is great. im terrible at schmups though.

btwj 2013-12-18 04:10

It's so addictive!! I like the speed, it's a good pace. Also the music is really catchy

ocmu 2013-12-18 04:54

This is what I love about LD; when someone simplifies a game style to it's essence. Great work!

thorig 2013-12-18 07:09

The game is a bit easy to beat, because the ship can be moved outside the screen. It is a fun entry!

pixlexia 2013-12-18 10:43

Beautiful. To be honest, I was really excited about this game the moment I saw that first GIF you posted. :D Visual style is simply amazing! I especially love that screen shake. And theme usage is really great. Awesome game overall!

ghandhi 2013-12-18 13:59

I'd like to play it with more enemies and more shoots!

iansnyder 2013-12-18 14:29

Awesome art, music, and overall presentation. The gameplay itself isn't really innovative and I didn't have much fun playing personally, but I also haven't played Dark Souls yet, either :P Anyway, not really a game for me, but I love the presentation so I definitely want to see more of your stuff :)

shaunlebron 2013-12-19 18:03

Excellent art, effects, and sound! Very cool shmup.

gfm 2013-12-19 22:05

1-bit pixel art. You got me there! xD
And this game is really fun! The chiptune music and sfx were great, too!

I really like to, having only one bullet, still be able to kill the enemies... and with "friendly fire"!

Amazing job!

william_edwards 2013-12-19 22:33

A very strong graphics and theme, but super hard. If only it was 2x taller and 2x wider screen...

several 2013-12-20 02:30

Hah. Too brutal for me to want to continue playing it, but it doesn't stop me from liking it.

Classy graphics.

tombofry 2013-12-21 15:27

If a highscore of 2 wasn't enough, why not include a raging fit as well?! :L
Very fun, I kept on trying, many many many many times, and got to the end eventually...
Graphics were both really cool and distracting, argh!

ditto 2013-12-21 16:14

Damn that was hard, and satisfying, and hard! Love the song, would be nice if it just looped instead of restarting though, graphics are fucking neat, stressful and really fun, great job!

timtipgames 2013-12-21 16:17

Very hard. But very enjoyable.

sim 2013-12-21 16:38

Good game. Difficult at first but easy once you know what to do. Getting a high score is fun for a while but becomes repetitive - perhaps the game should get harder over time.

ointment 2013-12-21 22:50

The idea of using enemies' weapons against themselves is pretty good. The execution leaves some fluidity to be desired, and the applet lagged a lot for me in addition.

The graphical style is alright, but the music is the worst I've come across so far. Not only is it annoying but it also had to start at FULL VOLUME when I played. Killed my buzz before the game even gave me any.

mekuri 2013-12-21 22:51

Loved the graphics. Loved (and hated) the difficulty :P
Very nice use of the theme! Good job.

rnlf 2013-12-22 14:03

I wanted to play this one since I saw it on IRC, finally found the time. Still love the art style. Really great. Very tough, too. Couldn't beat it, even though I tried for an hour or so.

managore 2013-12-23 03:31

Wonderful use of theme and gorgeous art! I wish it had more content though.

van-noctar 2013-12-30 10:37

Good job!

aaants 2014-01-02 00:06

Almost monitor-smashingly difficult... but I like that in a game! Great graphics too

fenixin 2014-01-02 19:01

Great, but I think you should remove the limitation on touching the edge of the screen, it is frustrating. And the mothership does not kill on contact, that is counter-intuitive.

2014-01-02 19:12

This game is awesome. I made an account just to say this, you asked for suggestions so here it is. After finally beating the game I feel the end screen is not very rewarding. So my suggestion would be to make the end of game a more rewarding experience... not sure how. Maybe with a victory fanfare and a picture of the world rejoicing idk, but something to show for my hard work. Great game, idk what but I feel like if you just add a little something at the end it would feel more rewarding and therefore be that much sweeter. Good work

2014-01-02 19:16

p.s. it doesn't have to be something big, but just something special to show for all the hard work.

ehtd 2014-01-03 04:08

a difficult but great game!

seconddimension 2014-01-06 23:08

Looks great, but just the wrong side of impossible for me!
