Pretty hard to kill some skulls...Great Idea for Connected Worlds!

Pretty good. I like the graphics. I'm not sure if the little souls in the boat were supposed to be taken away when I got hit, but they weren't. All three were in the boat when I got gameover.

I've made it to the Necropolis! Thanks god for my laser skull :)

Cool mood and nice graphics. Nice idea for the theme.

Very nice to look at, great use of the theme. The skulls are tough to kill without slowing down and the gameplay is simple, but you kept it short so it doesn't get repetitive.

Great graphics ! And I love the idea of a shmup on the styx x)
The fact that it is not an autoscroller is a bit confusing at first.

Very beautiful graphics!

makio 2014-08-25 12:14

very nice art, i feel i m in a death metal concert with the sound of the laser, drugs definitively add good aspect ! ;p Seriously very nice but we want more weapons ! :)

Great art. And killing skulls is satisfying. I made it to necropolis! GJ.

I love this graphics!!

jupitron 2014-08-25 13:27

Hi!
I got to necropolis!
Please make it more challenging and add leaderboards (with c2 and clay.io plugin its pretty easy!)

Good luck!

Killer presentation, I found it hard but entertaining and pretty much bugless!

Nice game, but it could be a little faster.

bluemaroo3 2014-08-26 15:33

Very fun to play. Really like the graphics. Love the pew pew sound of the lasers :D

lokiman 2014-08-26 17:44

Those poor souls :D

Nice art and style. Who doesn't want to shoot lasers to blast skulls across the river Styx?

Now, this brings an entirely new meaning to "bullet hell"... I love the concept. As they said below: now let's have some more weapons and enemies :D With the current lineup, I just sat there pew pewing and made it to the end. Couldn't move fast enough to get to any of the skulls that weren't directly in my path, and they weren't going to go after me anyway.

nice, but takes a lot of hits to kill the skulls

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 19:36

Hi there. Nice sounds and graphics. Like the gun noise particularly, splatty machine gun in my head! Good to see Construct2 being used here... Good job!

makatak 2014-08-29 01:24

Graphics weren't bad, but killing skulls was very difficult

dragoninstall 2014-08-30 02:52

Neat Graphics. The game is a bit hard but doable. Good job!

snooze82 2014-09-01 19:55

nice graphics, but hard to beat :)

honcho 2014-09-08 20:16

Graphics were nice!

wan 2014-09-08 21:48

Lol wait- was I like Hades shooting at bubble skulls with my laser? Okay x)

There's not much incentive to shoot at skulls at first, that's only once you finish it that you're realize it's a "high score" game :P Now playing it as a freeride thing is cool too, I like seeing me ridie my boat over the Styx with my turn signal on!

Very good graphics, the gameplay feels a bit poor (lack of time I guess) but overall I had a nice time playing it.
