Good work on the game, the leaderboards are a cool addition and give it more replay value. It's quite difficult, everything is very fast, but hey, many games in LD are.

The art is fine for a programmer, everything in my game is basically particles too :P

Haha, cheers man :D thanks for playing it. Yeah it's way too hard, it wasn't meant to be this hard when I imagined it :(

Just seen yours now, it's awesome! nice work.

That was pretty fun, I'm glad you finished the game!

I think the controls would feel a bit better if you didn't turn quite as fast, as I'd miss a lot of shots by turning too far when aiming. Other than that, the tank controls are unusual for a shooter, but add to the challenge in a fun way :)

I'm not very good at this, but I can see why people would like it.

Cheers for the comments guys. I wish it wasn't this hard xD I was going for big numbers style of game play, but you're lucky if you get around 4,000 ;(

Yeah I agree with the turning speed comment. This is all great stuff for next jam. Need to make it more accessible!

It was fun! Its pretty tricky to avoid projectiles with tank controls, but being able to rotate around to avoid a shot at the last second made up for it a little bit. I got on the leaderboard, oh yeah!

Haha, it seems like we had similarly literal ideas for "connected worlds"
It's a bit weird to control and the player may be a bit too big in comparison to everything else, but it's a lot of fun! The leaderboard adds a great touch of competition :)
