I love how hyper-energetic this game is.

chartinboy 2014-08-25 07:59

Woah! This game is done...it feels like a proper, worked-on-for-more-than-48-hours game! Challenging, but rewarding. Great work!

sequenceko 2014-08-25 08:00

Very fun game, nice music!

lafleur 2014-08-25 08:29

Great game! Quite hectic, in a good way! Bookmarked to play again later!

lucienpro 2014-08-25 09:40

Awesome, just awesome. It had cool music, cool weapons, cool graphics, well, the only thing that wasn't cool was the lava :D Well done, seemed really polished. It was really fast-paced.

eatsleepindie 2014-08-25 19:43

Feels incredibly complete for an LD game. Awesome job, lots of fun to play and I really like how fast paced the action is. This is on my list of games to come back and play simply because I enjoyed it so much.

lkr 2014-08-25 20:49

Very fun game!
Loved the graphics, sound/music and gameplay :)

ariake81 2014-08-25 20:49

good work, very Super Crate Box but that's no bad thing!

esayitch 2014-08-25 20:52

10/10 you should sell this. Polished experience, frantic and a whole lotta fun.

maad9 2014-08-25 20:54

Nice game, simple and cool. Really good job! ;)

zoomyzoom 2014-08-25 21:10

This shizzle be crazy dawg! Nice job man :D

yodamaster 2014-08-25 22:33

Extremely hectic! And fun.

donutttt 2014-08-25 22:44

Cool game. Liked the graphics and music. Hectic!

dan369 2014-08-25 22:58

Really nice game!

macocco 2014-08-25 23:17

Really fun(ny) game! Sound can get a little annoying after some time but the hectic and energetic gameplay counters that.

elliottd 2014-08-26 00:46

I like the super cratebox style weapon variation. also love the theme reversal on the targets. you are saving them with ice instead of killing them. sounds and music go nicely with the visuals. good job

billtowin 2014-08-26 01:57

Really epic. Great pixel, great music, great sound. The audio-visual cues and the controls are really tight which bring this "Endless Arcade Action-Platformer" to a whole other level. Amazing All round. A+

ehtd 2014-08-26 04:24

136!

nonentheless 2014-08-26 07:26

Starts slow but after a moment it's getting fun. Not everyday people thank me for shooting ,erm... saving..., them :)

lekochen 2014-08-26 07:45

Very energetic and fun! 303!

honcho 2014-08-26 08:04

Hey guys!

Thanks for rating and commenting! It's nice to hear everyone is enjoying it. I have wiped the leader boards so enjoy :3

kidando 2014-08-26 10:01

Epic... fun! That was very refreshing. Awesome game. I can only hope that you will continue it after the compo. Really awesome stuff.

crocantidepollo 2014-08-26 13:03

I love the super-caffeinated-action feel of it and how the little guys thank me for shooting them into freedom. 109! I'm rubbish!

badgerpriest 2014-08-26 20:58

I really enjoyed the feel of this. Got pretty challenging once the lava rose - I haven't been able to get past 130 yet.

vicious_br 2014-08-26 20:58

Great game made in Construct 2. I am impressed more and more with this software. Good Job, very immersive

mramaizng 2014-08-26 20:58

Lots of good qualities on this one. Great job!

shadox 2014-08-26 20:59

Really fun game :)

fraxken 2014-08-26 20:59

Cool game!

capitals 2014-08-26 21:06

Concrete fighting mechanics, I would like a bit of back-story to really round this off.

kiwiboi 2014-08-26 23:51

YES! This was awesome. One of the most fleshed out, solid games I've played for sure. Very brilliant entry.

kiwiboi 2014-08-26 23:53

YES! This was awesome. One of the most fleshed out, solid games I've played for sure. For the future maybe add different level layouts.
Really brilliant entry.

alvivar 2014-08-27 09:37

full arcade experience. fun++

veryfinestlions 2014-08-27 10:27

Yeah, this is a very finished-feeling game in a lot of ways! I'm impressed.

leafarz 2014-08-27 13:38

i like how some bullets go in different curves and directions! but there are a lot more reasons to be voted up for. simple yet fun game to play. good job!

theexgenesis 2014-08-27 20:21

Very enjoyable! Very Super Crate Boxy, if you've played it, which you must. Good job!

gnx 2014-08-27 20:21

Very polished and really fun arcade game. I think it is quite challenging to do a varied an interesting single screen game, but this one uses the available space really well.

polona 2014-08-27 20:25

Awesome game!

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-28 05:56

Thats cool! Nice fast-paced platformer! Sounds are great!

creative630 2014-08-28 07:04

Loved this! Had a ton of fun with it an played it over and over again.

I loved that the game was about rescuing people by shooting them in the face! Made for such a great experience.

Great concept and a real joy to play through. You should definately take it further!

I look forward to spending more time with this after I try play the remaining 2487 LD30 entries I haven't got to yet.

43iscoding 2014-08-28 07:10

Lovely art, dynamic gameplay! Totally enjoyed this one!

badlydrawnrod 2014-08-28 18:26

Ah, the type of game that I love to play and wish I could write. Bookmarking this to come back to after LD judging.

It most definitely has a "one more go factor". I died lots, but kept coming back. It's reminiscent of Super Crate Box whilst being very different. I love the powerups, and it's incredibly polished.

Cracking good game!

stasss 2014-08-28 19:10

))Nice. Good dynamic!

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 23:34

Really enjoyed it! Stressful! Great action all time!

artamus 2014-08-29 09:10

Nice game, congrats!

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 16:26

It got a Vlambeer feels, that is good. I like it

ambi 2014-08-29 17:33

I liked the music and the gameplay was good.

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-29 17:50

Fun to play, nice audio

steve 2014-08-29 21:17

Fun little shooter, being able to shoot+collect the same targets made for some interesting gameplay, good work!

georgebroussard 2014-08-30 04:38

5 days post compo and no source? What gives?

ltyrosine 2014-08-30 05:28

133 salved souls =D
Amazing game.

Good:
+ Furious gameplay (and fun)
+ Upgrades that really change game experience
+ A leaderboard in a 48 hours game. How cool is that?

Bad:
- Loose theme connection

liquidminduk 2014-08-30 08:34

This is great fun to play.
You created a likeable visual style and the sound effects work perfectly!
Going back to play more!

oana 2014-08-30 10:08

Not bad! Not bad at all! It is a pretty fun game with a clear objective. Graphics are ok for their purpose. The controls feel a bit floaty, but good. I like that you have powerups. It is rather funny that you can just shoot villagers to collect their souls... Also the leaderboard is working strangely... putting out the google ID rather than the name.

As for improvements, just make the controls tighter maybe. Also, I kind of dislike that when you go off to one side you appear in the other. It is rather confusing, but that's just a personal preference.

P.S. I think you need to share your source code too for the 48h compo.

alobker 2014-08-30 13:50

Really fast-paced game. Fun and very well executed.

jukimv1986 2014-08-30 17:33

Great game, fast-paced and well polished. Well done!!

honcho 2014-08-30 21:17

Sorry for late upload one the source guys.

It's now up, along side a windows and mac client version for your pleasure! :D

mechabit 2014-08-31 10:46

wow amazingly polished for a jam game
the "save souls by shooting them" is a bit of a stretch to fit the theme but loads of fun all the same

spotco 2014-09-02 02:21

Fun action shooter game, though a little repetitive (wish there were more enemy types/etc!)

tosic 2014-09-02 09:09

A really nice game, I like the fact it starts fast and goes even faster! :D

munkeebacon 2014-09-03 04:01

Love it, add some screenshake in there!

egos 2014-09-04 01:36

so nice and fun
gameplay bug
Position too the right or left side of the screen and shoot you observe that you shot in all direction and never lose

rjhelms 2014-09-08 17:08

Wow, this feels amazing! Very slick arcade style.

I agree with others that the connection to the theme is a little lose, but I've got no other criticisms - this is great!

grillaface 2014-09-08 23:29

Love the controls.

flannelvindicate 2014-09-09 17:01

alpha_rat 2014-09-11 13:01

Great game, very dynamic !

ragepaint 2014-09-13 20:57

Souls Saved: 100. Liked the power ups!
