I considered making a pseudo z-axis game for my entry.

Love the retro feel. Haven't played the game it is based off but I get the idea.

Nice one :)

Oh man - that was such a blast! I was about 9 when I played Space Harrier and that really took me back - thanks!

Yours feels a bit more open in terms of direction, too - nice work!

Really fun, great job.

andrewkennedy 2014-04-28 02:31

Oh man, this reminds me of the old games I used to play. Thumbs up for nostalgia!

Great game! Surprised it goes on for so long, great job.

Tried playing with my XBox controller, sensitivity was crazy high, was hard for me to control. I like the look and feel, though, if the controls were tightened up a bit it'd be a blast to play.

That's an awesome memory.

as others have said the retro feel is sweeeeet. reminds me of the speeder levels in super star wars! Good entry!

I laughted so far when I saw the head with asteroids in stage 2 lol XD, really fun, I wanted more stages, and some music at the background :/ Pretty nice!

Love Space Harrier! Very impressive entry. Found myself wishing for a faster rate of fire and less sensitive controls. Also, I could still fire after death, which allowed me to kill bosses pretty easily.

Nice game, reminded me of an old flash game where you dodge triangles.

Awesome retro vibe!

Nice work! You did a good job invoking space harrier. Sadly, I was never any good at that...

georgebroussard 2014-04-28 20:58

Loved it! Great job for 48 hours. Was very glad you didn't have lives (?) so I could finish it and see it all. I probably died about 7-8 times. Only real crit is that it felt overly sensitive to me in terms of control. Could definitely see continuing with this on the side, polishing it up, adding art and maybe tilt controls for iOS. I'd buy it :) Nice job.

Nice art!

Space harrier sequel - I love the retro feel ++

lyje 2014-04-29 16:30

This is so damn nostalgic. I'd love to know how you accomplished that camera angle/feel!

mrleeperry 2014-04-29 20:39

Awesome! Love the classic vibe. Can't believe you got multiple stages and bosses in in the timeframe! Was playing with arrowkeys and space, need to come back with a keypad. Great job though!

atkinssj 2014-04-30 18:08

Brilliant! It's weird and nonsensical and I died tons of times, but I had a big grin on my face the entire time. :D

thorig 2014-05-03 14:14

Fun game, good job.

crowbeak 2014-05-04 03:36

I haven't played Space Harrier, but this reminds me of StarFox. Sorta. xD

mase 2014-05-18 22:15

Very nice. I love the Space Harrier style.

Thanks for allowing infinite continues... I was too lazy to plug in a gamepad so I died a lot.

Impressive amount of content for 48 hours (!), especially the unique boss fights.

phocker 2014-05-19 05:22

thanks man that was fun - great job

Hi madjackmcmad! Don't worry about the ratings :/, I liked your game a lot and i'm back here to let you know it, some of the best games are not rated well, i dont know why (maybe envy). So don't worry, you did very well! Hope you make another game for ludum dare 30! ^^ Let me know if you are gonna do the ld30 and i'll put your game in my ld30 rating list ^^.

Thank you for make this, seriusly. Maybe your fault is the absence of music. Other than that it was pretty fun! ^^
