The game is very laggy on my mediocre notebook, but the game is fun!

even the graphics were kind of simple, they were clean and felt like they fit the game well. I somehow accidentally glitched out of the map at one point, but other than that, it was very fun. Great job! :)

I like this graphics!

shivanhunter 2014-04-28 16:04

awesome music!

icereci 2014-04-28 16:05

Fun game. I cared for that orange square guy :)

Really wanted to have a sprite on the characters and enemies, but the gameplay is very good.

Good quality dungeon shooter. Would have been nice to see some slightly more innovative weapons. Solid game though.

That boss really surprised me. :D

gigitrix 2014-04-28 18:04

Really loved the music! Gameplay was too hard for me: maybe I'm missing something but you could only really shoot while taking damage in my experience. This would work great if you could shoot in a different direction from the one you're moving.

Great art outside the squares, but even they were fine :)

HTML5 version worked fine on Win7/Chrome

Very dynamic game. Like minimalistic art.

brucedoh 2014-04-29 06:18

Very smooth and fun gameplay. Would like to see earlier enemies' shots go slower, as it takes a bit to get the hang of moving into position, aiming and firing before getting shot. This could definitely be expanded into a really fun game.

Well done!

I feel like it does not fit (much) the theme... sadly... But the gameplay is there, and the game is super fun, after all, it is a Shump, and shumps are amazing.

You did a great job, and you changed the game pacing introducing a different kind of enemy and a boss...

I loved it... Also, the graphics look amazing...

Well, hoping to see your next ludum dare entry.

Loved it! It's fun, the music is great, and there are deft touches like the camera shake. Only issue was the bullets being instantly destroyed when you're next to a wall, but it's a minor really nitpick. Good job!

Pretty fun game. Good work with the art style. Controls were a bit slippery for my taste.

lonewookie 2014-04-29 11:34

Very intense and challenging. It's kind of hard to shoot and move effectively, so I just ended up running through the enemies. Great job!

nicolashognon 2014-04-29 17:09

to slow on my old imac, but the game look good. gfx are simple but I like them. You made the music ?

lightsoda 2014-04-29 17:23

@nicolashognon, yup I made the music with FL Studio.

flavio 2014-04-29 19:34

Hey !
The game was very laggy for me (html5 for mac). Have you used Game Maker? I had issues with laggs to on my project but forcing the use of openGl on the html 5 export solved the lag one. You should try it :)

Nice backgrounds, and funny Boss :)

pansapiens 2014-04-30 04:20

Great fun to play. Classic formula, well executed. It feels ominous when you see those cracks appear and .. oh crap run !

vilya 2014-04-30 17:11

That's a fun game! It feels like a dungeon-crawler. Would be great to see it with some character artwork too, but the rest of the graphics were actually quite good I thought. The theme music was excellent!

pancakecity 2014-04-30 19:53

Really action packed, works great on my desktop!

priorblue 2014-05-02 03:44

Nice action game and even and end boss, but it was a little bit too easy.

zeal 2014-05-02 13:33

Really fun shooter. Although half of the graphics are only raw templates it didn't stop me from playing to the end. Also the controls don't seem to be very polished, as sometimes I couldn't aim properly but I believe it has a great potential and if you work on this (polish the controls, add more graphics and more levels) this can be turned into an awesome arcade shooter game. By the way I highly enjoyed the music!

guimonpa 2014-05-02 16:00

Nice game! I really liked the music and graphics, the gameplay was simple but quite fun.

thorig 2014-05-05 12:34

Really fun game. Too bad the enemy blocks weere the same color as the player, but still a really fun entry.

muumeroinen 2014-05-05 17:46

Good game! No need for a characters, squares all the way! :)

klianc09 2014-05-05 18:04

Really great game. The music was excellent and I think the squares give it a nice touch.

I was just about to complain that my keyboard can't process up, left and spacebar at the same time, when I saw you could also use the mouse. Playing with the mouse makes it a ton easier, because you can acutally aim somewhere else than where you are moving.

The boss was well done, except that you could stand outside of his range and just kill him offscreen without any trouble.

Hi. Played HTML5 version on IE11/Windows8, was great and fast. Shame no sound. Excellent game, interesting behaviour by NPCs.

romandtom 2014-05-08 05:57

Sounds are cool.
Graphics are impressive.
Liked that boss at the end lol

Great one!

rincewind_cz 2014-05-08 16:38

Wohooo! That was fun, I really enjoyed this until the end! The controls and gameplay are both perfect.. It's bit easy and I don't know if it's actually complain :) Missing character sprites is the only but unfortunately pretty visible stain on this great entry. Good job! .... I didn't expected such a boss! :D

illugion 2014-05-09 03:43

Nice job man !! You did what i couldn't: a boss ! And it was really awesome when i got the key and a lot of enemies spawned behind me, it was cool to feel that i had power to defeat them but still be kinda afraid of that XD i wish the bullets were just a bit faster but overall it was great !
