Great entry. I can see some connection with "our god lives underground" with the purposefully grainy art style and mood. Nice polish with the hair, blood, gunshots with trails and recoil.

So slick! Great shooter. Sometimes the mouse would get stuck, it was probably due to me clicking outside the games boundaries. Really enjoyed it still :)

crowbeak 2014-08-25 10:47

This is great but it really, REALLY needs the ability to just hold the mouse down to shoot. A trigger warning about that potentially epilepsy-inducing flashing on the game over screen might not be out of place, either. xD

andrewshouldice 2014-08-25 12:40

Thanks for the feedback, Crowbeak. I've added a warning about the flashing; good call. You're right about holding the mouse too: post compo version maybe! :)

That's really cool. Retro is great. Lovely smooth movement, great kill effects and final death is unpleasant! Terrific graphics and sound. Great job!

This was excellent.
Is there a way to beat Wave 6 aka AAAAAAAAA?

graebor 2014-08-25 16:49

Definitely agree that you should be able to hold down the mouse button. Great job with the feel/polish/effects, it's quite satisfying. The text between waves is also a nice touch, I think it actually adds a lot.

joonamo 2014-08-25 19:02

Not very innovative, but solid gameplay. Also nice animations and hair physics!

2014-08-25 21:19

I actually like the 'press to shoot' rather than the 'hold to shoot' method, though I would like there to be an option on the keyboard itself. Using Space to shoot would be ideal.

That said, really like the game feel. Both the sound and visuals make it very satisfying to play. Now if only I could beat wave 6...

elliottd 2014-08-25 22:46

Fantastic feel, very juicy. Sounds and visual effects are very intentional and polished while still feeling raw and simple.

ehtd 2014-08-25 22:49

Autofire would be appreciated :)

jayhof 2014-08-26 02:15

Such a nice feel to the shooting, I could not bring myself to stop. The art style is very nice as well. Body parts flying everywhere blood and explosions what else does a game need? ;)

rylgh 2014-08-26 05:36

Great fun and game feel. Only complaint (besides no hold-to-shoot) is that the enemy bullet color kinda blended with the ground color for me.

roguenoodle 2014-08-26 12:39

Juicy visuals, awesome sound and hectic-fun gameplay. Excellent entry!

steve 2014-08-26 15:23

Great shooter, loved the connections with your previous LD entries, camera could have been a little further out though as mostly I killed stuff off screen by spraying'n'praying ;)

designernap 2014-08-26 18:31

+1 to the request for hold and shoot! I came back to check your entry after "our god lives underground" stuck with me for so long. I like this one too and you have a great way of bringing out atmosphere with audio and misting effects. another great game. :)

teamrocketbear 2014-08-26 20:21

The scale of your character and the view really made it for me. Give a very unique feel, tense and lively.

tomvert 2014-08-27 11:51

Cool game, great execution.

gnutek 2014-08-27 17:46

Pure awesomeness :)

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 20:57

The feel of this game, especially regarding the gunshots and the alien noises, is really compelling. I'll have to see if I can make it to the end of this.

microchasm 2014-08-27 22:46

This is the best game I have seen so far for LD 30. I love the feel, the graphics, the chaotic combat, and the humor. Nice "juicy" feedback. I think the best part is the hair though. Nice touch.

xenosns 2014-08-27 22:49

Very cool! Love the blocky art, humour and the sound effects. The wind is creepy, especially.

Had issues with the mouse though, kept going too high and accidentally click on tool bar tabs in my browser. Perhaps if the game window was further down?

alvivar 2014-08-28 07:15

Solid work! Great gameplay, sounds, mood! Good job.

micahcowan 2014-08-28 08:55

Gets my blood pumping. It's friggin' hard! Really, really solid entry.

metalchouchen 2014-08-28 10:48

Awesome ! Really like graphics and effect! Congrats!

chas 2014-08-28 18:48

The sound, camera work, and animation all work together to make such a visceral impact. Very effective.

runvs 2014-08-29 15:01

What a great game! Very Juicy, indeed.

dickpoelen 2014-08-30 12:22

Man, that gun feels good!

andrewkennedy 2014-08-31 03:00

Would have been nice not to have to start over again when dead, but it was fun nonetheless!

The persistent enemy death decals and screen shake added a lot to the polish!

hadesfury 2014-08-31 18:25

Great game !

lekochen 2014-09-02 07:36

Excellent game feel, well done!

anssipe 2014-09-02 13:41

Nice, solid game. Graphics have a neat olskool feeling. Love the recoil effect when you shoot.

safar-pavel 2014-09-02 18:04

Cool game. Love the graphics and pace.

off 2014-09-02 19:05

Even the game over is cool.

It lack of a little bit of intensity maybe with a soundtrack. Also a way to enlarge the field of view (maybe when you didn't shoot for example) could make the game more strategic, and less random.

But for 48h it's technically terrific!

sargonius 2014-09-04 13:34

Amazing!

malf 2014-09-04 22:07

VEry good game, impressive what can be done in 48h

igoramendola 2014-09-06 03:54

Wow!! After hours of playing, my best was reach the Wave 7... wheee! \o/
That wave is insane!! hahaha... the game is pretty good in many aspects.
Super cool entry :D

local-minimum 2014-09-06 15:59

Really nice and hard entry! Lots of good work on the effects, shakes and though-through style of the game. Got a couple of waves down, but playing with touch-pad that was about as far I deemed possible. I'm hard pressed to come up with something constructive other than praise, but one possible thing that might make it more fun would be if one could re-up the health. Either by low chance spawning hearts from killed aliens or by long cool down health station.

macocco 2014-09-07 16:03

Really fun shooter! Awesome graphics including the little details like the hair and nice screenshakes! Approach to the theme is surprisingly simple compared to your other games though.

wdebowicz 2014-09-08 17:05

AI is simple but I still have a lot of fun. I like the graphic style, so simple so cool.

mcapraro 2014-09-13 15:05

i love your entries! very polished and feels really smooth.

2014-09-16 06:11

Nice Carnage

buttercupsaiyan 2014-09-19 15:28

Was hoping for some power-ups or lives but I understand for the time limit some things must be cut. Seems very old-school without those features. Got to Wave 4, didn't find any bugs. When you replay it a couple times, figuring out you can hide behind rocks and the enemies fire slower than you think makes it pretty strategic but only having four hearts means death comes eventually without perfect reflexes.

greytram 2014-11-11 15:54

Nice game! A little suggestion: it would be great if movement keys could be modified (WASD isn't a great setup on AZERTY keyboards).

2015-03-22 10:44

Can I use it in my game
