Hey, I enjoyed this! You've got a great soundtrack and concept, the graphics are actually pretty creepy, and I had some fun playing!

I felt like initial enemies had a bit too much HP, and their bullets were too hard to see--I couldn't figure out what I was getting killed by and where to go, and most of the time I couldn't get any pickups because I was moving too slowly and was too far away when they spawned, even if I started heading towards them right way. I think I also may have shot one to death at one point o_O

Thanks for the game! I had fun.

Epic music!

Nice little shooter, felt a little slow though. I think I'd enjoy it more with more speed like a regular shooter. Real nice graphics and music, though!

Very solid atmosphere and concept) Great work! All components fits great. Great teamwork, also. Really good music decision, it adds more scale to the game, FX really great for this atmosphere (I'm absolutely have no feeling like "this effect were added because everyone adds FX". Beautiful! Great variation for light and dark theme!

Liked the art style. Solid entry. Also, thank you for adding auto-fire, my fingers thank you very much :)

hey people, thanks for the nice comments. Just out of interest how have you been playing the game, webplayer, PC, mac, linux? And at what resolution, notice anything off.

As with most LD efforts having time to do proper testing is difficult. But we've considered polishing up a couple things and release for free so more can enjoy. Any thoughts are most welcome. Thanks for playing.

Kyle.

Really nice idea and concept, the music is really epic !
Maybe the player character could move a little faster, it is a bit frustrating in the beginning to move so slowly

Great game. Not terribly original game play, but a good art style and well executed. Good job!

Hi there. Very nice looking shooter. Quite hard to see the crocs missiles. Pretty tough. Good job!

I had fun playing it, thanks a lot for sharing! Nice music and gloomy graphics go very well with the ambience you wanted to achieve. Kudos!

While I am not a fan of scoring game, this one was nice, with good music. Adding sounds effects when you are hit, or when killing an enemy would be even better.
The graphics helps well the atmosphere, too.
