This was fun! The player / ball switching mechanic was interesting. I really liked the art and music as well!

Really fun game! Great music and pretty graphics!

Simple comcept but efficient!!

ekilibr 2013-12-17 11:56

The graphics are just amazing. Really clean, really nice. I feel some FFIX inspiration for the enemies-design ?

Great job to the team !

Nice Art style!
Neat mechanics. The Ctrl+W shortcut however, was a pain in the butt. The tab kept on closing

webravenz 2013-12-17 14:39

Fun game, with pretty graphics !

mrvanderpants 2013-12-17 18:23

I really loved the cartoony graphics in this game!

whiteknife 2013-12-17 18:25

Beautiful art, great soundtrack, and interesting gameplay - the full package! I can't get over how polished this game looks and feels!

jaymeemak 2013-12-17 18:26

Audio in the main menu would help.

The graphics are nice, but as @paras238 said, 'Ctrl + W' means the tab keeps closing (or in my case, 'Command + W' on a Mac).

More playtesting with your web build could prevent a problem like this in the future. :)

agram 2013-12-17 18:49

Sorry for 'Ctrl + W'. Padawan's mistake ... I will try to correct this quickly.

jdpalmer 2013-12-17 21:45

Really cool game - unfortunately it is almost impossible to play on a Mac because of the control key with other letters being shortcuts..

agram 2013-12-19 10:12

some bugs are corrected :
- Boss that disappear on the right of the creen
- shot rate that didn t come back when switching bozooka and roquette
- more controle : add 'space' and 'c' to shot, and add 'v' to swap. Choose your best config !
- Volume of music is higher

I only touchs the bugs, i didn t change anything about gameplay or leveldesign !

I love shmups. And that's a good one. I was confused until i read the rules, quite original mechanics. Also love the music.

toureiro 2013-12-19 10:38

One of the best looking games here!

Link just takes me to a white screen on Chrome.

drkrunk 2013-12-19 15:13

All I'm getting is a white screen it's not loading.

agram 2013-12-19 15:20

I have updated a link on the swf, instead of the index.html ... I have changed that.

jishenaz 2013-12-19 17:39

The game was really fun and cute, but after a few minutes, it lags to the point of being unplayable. Using Chrome on Windows 8.1.

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-19 23:08

Woah, that was fun! I liked the core mechanic of having to protect the mana ball, and the music and graphics were bang on. The power-ups were pretty cool too.

2013-12-20 11:58

Thanks Agram and Jeremy for your invitation to join your team for the music. I really enjoyed :) You worked well, the game is really addictive.

drkrunk 2013-12-20 18:34

The was too laggy for me to fully enjoy it as Jishenaz pointed out. The music and graphics are top notch very professional looking and sounding.

sonnybone 2013-12-20 22:54

As others have stated, your music and audio are outstanding. You have an original and innovative core concept but it has unfortunately resulted in a flawed shooter. Having an invincible player results in gameplay that doesn't require you to be extremely precise in your movement and there is very little need to dodge enemies. This becomes really evident when you get to the boss battle and can just sit in one spot near the left of the screen and hold down the fire button until the health bar is gone.

You added the enemy that slows you down, which works great for keeping the player away from the mana orb. Still, it's not enough to keep the game from being far too easy. The switching mechanic is also kind of strange. Maybe it needs more feedback for the player, and maybe it should be limited or have a cooldown phase so you can't spam it over and over to get the orb out of tough spots so quickly. The player feels REALLY overpowered here.

And I don't want it to seem like I'm being extremely negative about your game. In fact, it's the opposite. I think that your game's aesthetic is wonderful and your characters are very memorable. It would be great for you all to keep working on this because it could be VERY VERY VERY awesome with some tweaks to the core gameplay. This looks like an extremely professional product and it would be a shame to not keep working on this. What you have here is more than just a jam game, it's a start to something much bigger.

Thank you so much for putting your talents together for LD and welcome to the newcomers on your team!

Very polishes shooter with nice graphics! Cloud be more difficult, because switchign is not really needed.

lorniebear 2013-12-21 17:26

Wonderful! I got to the end!

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-22 15:41

So super-polished until the last second! Thank you for making this. I actually like how she's slightly overpowered, she's magical after all. Top marks to everyone!

dudsen 2013-12-24 20:12

A nice shooter you made there! Some kick-ass music, lovely art (love the face of the witch if you collect a special weapon) and a nice mechanic with the mana ball. Some bugs here and there, but the core and the gameplay feel solid!

anvoz 2013-12-25 14:29

Really good gameplay idea. The graphics are just amazing.

I finished the game with 1020 score points. It became quite laggy at the end.

greytram 2013-12-26 10:35

Great graphics and animation! A little UI bug (power/speed bars don't come back after restarting a new game for instance).
Very fun to play!

gfm 2013-12-28 03:38

Played for a while but found no boss... and since the gameplay stayed the same for a while, I just quit...

It's a nice game with great music (reminded me of Gundemonium series) and graphics! But it was too repetitive... If only this was taken care of, this would be a great game!!

rosa89n20 2014-01-03 14:40

very nice graphics and music, but lack of challenge for this type of shooter game. and game crash(just close my browser window) when I just start about 2 min.

somepx 2014-01-04 21:11

Hey, epic soundtrack! \m/ A very good entry
