Bangin'. Cellusious! I CHOOSE YOU!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-12-15 23:10

I like the shooting in it. Very nice effects. Wont spoil for others

captainnakou 2013-12-15 23:26

Best concept i've seen so far. The wheel, the system. I love it. Really.

nxsverigmail-com 2013-12-15 23:47

Keeps crashing for me, but that may be OS issues. Looks interesting enough though.

ysengrimm 2013-12-15 23:52

Broke my OS, 11/10, would play again.

covebit 2013-12-15 23:56

@DeviEver Am i a pokemon now?
@lordjosephdeburg thanks!
@CaptainNakou oh thank you :)
@Nonameghost do i smell win8, oh yes i do! (win8 hates me)

phi6 2013-12-16 00:03

This game is amazing! It makes me cry how the art direction is so lush :)

silentbunny 2013-12-16 00:27

Love the art

alvarop 2013-12-16 01:06

Wow, that game had some trouble running. But it was good. Very good!

theonewhoknocks 2013-12-16 01:31

Really good!

dznemotion 2013-12-16 02:08

Nice!

cjacobwade 2013-12-16 04:12

Awesome! Sadly, it started to lag pretty badly after 100 score or so

sean-noonan 2013-12-16 07:44

Nice simple design, controls were tight too. The highlight is the excellent artwork across the characters, environment and effects. However, the screen shake was incredibly obnoxious - it really took away from the power of the weapons and just added unnecessary noise to such an awesome aesthetic.

For some reason in had some trouble running on my machine - this rig can run Crysis...

nananas 2013-12-16 10:09

Whoaa so pretty those pixels, as expected. You're da boss :)

(starting game in Win XP compatibility mode and it stopped crashing in Win8)

geti 2013-12-16 10:27

Looks good, suits your fairly abstract style well. I really didn't get much of the theme from this, felt more "restricted" than "you only get one" :)

That said, had a very good feel and other than a few big lag spikes, did what it said on the tin.

phi6 2013-12-16 10:41

Agree with everyone here about the lag - which is a little annoying! But I can see without it, it would be a lovely addictive little game!

xezko 2013-12-16 14:50

The level of polish in this is astonishing.
Awesome work!

covebit 2013-12-16 15:24

BY THE WAY PEOPLE, THE "LAG" IS DELIBERATE. I PUT IN A SLEEP(30ms) WHEN A OBJECT EXPLODES FOR "JUICE", IT FEELS STRANGELY AWKWARD AND LESS SATISFYING WHEN IT'S NOT THERE SO I DECIDED TO KEEP IT IN. SORRY IF YOU DISLIKE IT BUT I THINK YOU'D DISLIKE IT MORE WITHOUT IT.

yokcos700 2013-12-16 15:31

Graphics and audio are stellar, but once you look past the novelty of being confined to a single circle, there's not much unique gameplay to be had. That said, it's still fun.

mruno 2013-12-16 15:32

Very interesting and fun game with great shooting effects!

chris-mondok 2013-12-16 15:33

Looks cool, despite the vast array of colors used. I really like the movement on the wheel. I don't like that I can't see very far. I'm sure it's deliberate, but it's also annoying.

mtrc 2013-12-16 15:34

Oh man, so good. The graphics are incredible, and it animates so beautifully too. Great work. I like the game concept - definitely flesh it out into a fuller game like you were talking about on Twitter!

gusanolocovg 2013-12-16 15:36

Nice game very laggy at times, which is strange because it doesn't look like there is a lot on the screen when it does it. The sound bugged out on death also.

katamori 2013-12-16 15:37

A fast and actionful shooter that uses quite a few colour, but fantastic sprites, has a strange but strong mood, has only an endless score-hunting mode and that is always going to provide me some minutes of fun!

A big 5 overall!

coblynau 2013-12-16 15:37

Love the graphics and audio, and the controls were perfect; this makes for a great game!

marcellus 2013-12-16 15:38

very awesome graphics and music

rubna 2013-12-16 15:42

I like the graphics! Gameplay was also fun. Maybe you should make it clearer when you're getting hit though, like with an distinct sound effect and screenshake. Also maybe an indicator of when you're about to die? Well, good job nonetheless :D

niksudan 2013-12-16 17:10

Looks very tasty, and felt very satisfying.

auto_suggestion 2013-12-16 18:26

Art is amazing, as usual. Really liked the shooting effects. Unfortunately a fatal bug prevented me from getting too far.

headchant 2013-12-16 21:13

I'm a huge sucker for the art and the feel, also the feel. Curvature in lazershots = nice!

solluxx 2013-12-16 23:27

Wow this is simply fantastic. Nice work.

iansnyder 2013-12-16 23:37

Really nice art and I like the idea but I didn't really get hooked on the gameplay. The lag thing felt glitchy instead of like a juice effect. Could be really cool with some more polish :)

lekochen 2013-12-17 04:02

Look at those pixels!

snoringfrog 2013-12-17 05:45

Absolutely gorgeous, and I love the music. Playing this reminds of the SNES shmup Phalanx, for some reason, which then made me realize how mindblowing a shmup made by you would be.

But back to this game: it got surprisingly difficult for me quickly, but I still enjoyed it. If I play a bit more I'll get more accustomed to the controls and last a bit longer. Right now my high score is 48.

keymaster 2013-12-17 12:01

Great game with incredible amount of polish overall, unfortunately the theme seemed completely tagged onto it. Otherwise good game

somepx 2013-12-17 14:51

Only objective is to die: fantastic! ;)
A very polished entry, congratulations

hypnohustla 2013-12-17 16:41

Solid game. The shooting felt great. Artwork was awesome as usual :)

pixelbear 2013-12-17 16:46

Stylish with very tight controls: didn't feel restricted while playing at all, which a lot of people tend to forget about for LD. :)

windwalkerranger 2013-12-17 18:23

Nice mechanic, steampunk everywhere! Shoot-em-round? Nice overall! Though the connection to the theme is rather weak?

keithe 2013-12-17 20:49

Awesome style! Nice effects for bullets, enemy deaths and camera. I had a couple of odd performance slowdowns but overall it was a really neat arcade shooter. Could have had a stronger objective which might have made it fit the theme better.

pixelulsar 2013-12-17 21:12

Looks great. Pretty fun and I like the gear mechanic too. No lag issues that others are talking about.

spe 2013-12-18 00:11

I'm getting a "... has stopped working" crash at random points which is kind of sad because it's a great experience up to that point. (Win 8.1 @ earlier comment)

covebit 2013-12-18 00:18

Yeah, i'm sorry but i can't do much when it comes to win8. Win8 hates .wav and .wav is the best format that works best with win7/vista/xp

derevensky 2013-12-18 10:03

Very nice graphics. Mechanics is quite hardcore as it requires mouse and keys to work synchronously. Great job anyway!

lipedal 2013-12-18 19:11

I WON! i think.. and.. pretty laggy
Anyway, nice art style.

garethiw 2013-12-18 20:04

Also had the win8 issues, but very much enjoyed what I could play of it. Lovely spritework!

beardogames 2013-12-18 21:51

Super nice looking, plays nicely, and represents a great twist on typical shooter mechanics. Excellent work.

Jeremias 2013-12-18 22:18

Unfortunately laggy, like the others already sad. Like the style, especially the glowing shots. Don't forget to link to the source of your game! :)

tchem 2013-12-19 12:29

I loved it... the art is very genuine,,, the all propose is awesome!!!,, great work

kohijin 2013-12-19 18:17

A bit shortlived, but has a nice and polished arcade touch to it.

gnerkus 2013-12-19 18:50

AWESOME! - The art is so good it's a little distracting. I especially liked the glowing shots and the effects on impact.

covebit 2013-12-19 19:39

If i knew people would complain this much i'd put in a option to turn off the explosion freeze. >:(

soy_yuma 2013-12-19 21:26

Hey Cell! Nice graphics as usual! The idea is good, I like it :-)

stvr 2013-12-20 01:53

Fun but a bit confusing. Not sure how I could be "better" than my previous score. Sometimes failure seemed arbitrary.

zkenshin 2013-12-20 18:15

Screen shook a bit much for my tastes, but still enjoyed the graphics. :)

rnlf 2013-12-22 01:45

Great game, I just suck at it, can't survive 10 seconds or so...

nyrrrr 2013-12-23 02:36

awesome! didn't knew you made games. always thought you "only" do art. Great game man!

mystakin 2013-12-23 21:56

Great art and effects! Having the movement restricted to a circle adds an extra layer of difficulty that I enjoyed. I felt the use of the theme could have been stronger, but the game is otherwise awesome.

lalanl 2013-12-24 02:51

Very interesting controls, terrific feedback, and completely gorgeous graphics. Amazing!

ointment 2013-12-25 16:00

Oops, forgot to rate this one when I first played it. GUDGRAFIX but much to my surprise the gameplay's tolerable too.

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 21:52

Love the colour pallet and the high level of detailed pixel art and animations. Very inspiring level of polish - impressive for 48 hours, rated highly! :)

frederickk 2014-01-05 21:17

Looks and sounds awesome!
