Great game. I think my favorite character is the explorer. BTW we used the same theme idea of one bullet/weapon.

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 04:03

Hehe I've seen quite a few games using one bullet! ;p I remember for LD26 thousands of people had my same idea hahah! :p

drooobe 2013-12-16 04:04

I absolutely loved this game! Great work!

mcgraw 2013-12-16 04:37

Clever idea & well executed! One of my favorites. Great work!

madjackmcmad 2013-12-16 04:42

This is excellent! Great use of the theme too-- having to go pick up your cannonball as a knight was pretty funny. The boomerang was my favorite weapon, all in all very fun.

Pretty nice gameplay, it was a real scare having to run and find my ammo amongst a crowd of enemies.

cjacobwade 2013-12-16 06:25

Great work Tony! My only complaint is that is gets very repetitive after level 3 or 4. I know it's Ludum Dare, but maybe making fewer levels that feel very different will make the game better :)

wojworks 2013-12-16 07:06

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. It's good to know people are enjoying the game.

cjacobwade -- Yeah, I was thinking of adding in some new enemies and maybe even some obstacles, but I was worried that I would start something I couldn't finish. I spent a lot of work on the extra characters. Though I am keeping this game in my "come back to" list, because I think it came out better than I thought it would.

Good stuff. Liked the Ninja the best, he's fast. Loved the Knight with his cannonball as well. The game would've been better if had featured more challenges.

jimmypaulin 2013-12-16 20:49

Really great fun, sublime graphics and animations, those slimes were cute! Very challenging but the fact you have to go and retrieve your ammo from the vicinity of what you are shooting at really adds to the drama. A little more variety might have been good in terms of your actions - great work!

thevideogamemechanic 2013-12-16 20:51

Cool! Got a nice feel to it when firing.

ob6160 2013-12-16 21:46

Yay another one that uses one bullet (just like mine ;)) I really like it though :)

namide 2013-12-16 22:01

This game is one of my favorites ! The huntsman is so cool. Great work !

ashedragon 2013-12-16 23:13

Incredibly solid and fun!

adonaac 2013-12-16 23:14

A few things that could make your game better: steering behaviors (http://www.red3d.com/cwr/steer/), for instance, the slimes could have used seek instead of just going for the player's position; tweens + accelerations, such that things don't start moving with some velocity abruptly; not getting stuck in walls.

Other than that really really nice job. With some upgrades and maybe procedurally generated maps this could become really great. The art looks really good and I just felt like playing it more and more, despite some problems. Overall a great entry. Amazing job!

wojworks 2013-12-16 23:17

adnzzzzZ -- Thanks for the advice. I'm not much of a programmer (hence I used Game Maker), so I can use all the advice I can get.

parapup 2013-12-17 00:14

Great game you got I enjoy the game you only get one bullet is becoming common but hey don't let that upset you you tried and succesed in making a game for ludum dare.

adventureislands 2013-12-17 00:20

Pretty well done, plays well but the characters are not all that balanced, I felt the Explorer was the most fun to play as because his weapon was less hassle to get back.

lucasncv 2013-12-17 01:24

Great character design and quite a fun little game. Another one bullet game though, so many of them! (mine included haha)

rscar 2013-12-17 01:31

Super fun! Most important part of game design haha, well done!

micle2000-2 2013-12-17 01:34

I like the character select, and found the shooting (especially the knight) had a good feel to it!

abeing 2013-12-17 01:37

wow super solid controls and good graphics. One of my favorite games of this LD so far! I missed the music a bit though. I always get killed by shooting zombie. too hard for me, even with the explorer :) cool thing the boomerang

ambi 2013-12-17 04:42

Quite solid shooter. Entertaining mechanics and options to choose different characters. Theme is well integrated into gameplay. Thumbs up.

seasons 2013-12-17 04:58

i loved the idea of having only one shot. i think it could have been better if there were less enemies paired with more interesting levels, and some kind of mechanism so i didn't have to fetch my projectile across the level. great entry overall!

evilobjective 2013-12-17 05:10

I really, really, like this one. Great job!

sean-noonan 2013-12-17 06:10

Really nice game, though I'm getting a little tired of that Hotline Miami style rotating face/text.
I would have played for a lot longer, but I kept getting stuck whenever I went near a wall - almost always the cause of my death :(

kirbytails7 2013-12-17 06:18

The boomerang is super fun!

latfoued 2013-12-17 09:53

Very good game, the gameplay is very fun and addictive. Good job (Boomrang OP xD)

eternalmajin 2013-12-17 17:51

I liked this a lot. Well done!

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-17 19:53

What makes this stand out from the other "one bullet" games is the choice of choice of characters. I also really liked the little graphical touches such as the particle effects.

binary_girl 2013-12-17 22:20

good game i like how you can play different characters :)

toureiro 2013-12-17 22:54

Fun little game! Thanks for making it!

stvr 2013-12-19 13:29

I love how this is like a family-friendly Hotline Miami.

venks 2013-12-20 07:27

Another 'one-shot' eh? Not bad though.

Jeremias 2013-12-20 19:42

You should fix that you get stuck if you want to move along a wall (sliding along the wall) - I hope you know what I mean. This would improve the overall feeling a lot. The character sprites look really nice! Played all the characters and I enjoyed the explorer the most!

xaychru04 2013-12-22 09:20

Nice game, fluid mechanics, kinda hard on the last levels... I like the choice between 4 characters, it really adds a lot to the game! Good job! :)

somepx 2013-12-22 09:21

Played as the NINJA: game is smooth, fast, fun - a very nice entry!

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 15:15

Great work ! I love the top-down shooter gameplay a lot!

garethiw 2013-12-26 13:54

I really enjoyed this - played through with each of the characters. I loved that they all played differently.
