I just get an error screen when trying to download the file (didn't rate, of course).

Really fun to play :D

Very fun game, great work!

Was a fun game. Wish I could have made it full screen due to the fact that I kept clicking on other windows. Only managed to get 17 kills but ended up playing it longer then I was planning. Would make a great mobile game, consider publishing it to one of those.

Nice work, this was really fun! It took some getting used to, but once I'd figured out how to avoid the shots properly, it was fun to play. I managed to scrape 39 kills, and played it for longer than I'd intended to try and push up my high score. Perhaps a cool feature would be to display your high scores when you die? I found the graphics a bit simple, but the player moved pretty nicely, and the particles when enemies died were cool. In my opinion, I thought the enemies moved a bit too erratically, because it made them hard to hit, and I frequently died while trying to hit enemies and they shot me just as I hit them, but this is a really cool entry on the whole.

Same as AndresGames, I kept clicking outside the window :D
Quite a fun game though, it's simple but fun!
Didn't manage to get past 20 gangsters though, I think the fact that you can't get shot more than once is a little too harsh :p

A fun game to play. Pretty challenging as well. On most runs I struggle to break ten kills, but managed to score 24 as my highest. Nice clean aesthetic. Good job overall.

Frantically silly. I liked it.

Had a lot of fun with this game, love it

That's pretty fun. Tricky to get the hang of the controls but really satisfying when you manage to slice through a gangsta.

very cool, excellent job at making me feel powerful and vulnerable at the same time

That was fun! Nice to play a game with a decent skill ceiling. Full-screen would've been nice, as I also kept clicking other windows.

Fun game. I managed 67 kills.

This was really cool. It is a bit tough to get a handle on it, but once I got used to the controls it was very cool. I think maybe starting enemies with a single shot, then giving them the spread shot would make the curve a bit more manageable at the beginning.

Great idea, it would be even better if the mouse was caught. I accidentally moved folders around on my desktop

wilpel1234 2014-12-10 18:55

Fun game, good job!

Nicely focused on the gameplay. Quite addictive :)

harsayhd 2014-12-10 21:34

It was fun to play, but definetely it would be better if I could play it on my phone while riding the bus home ;)
I really liked that enemies had some intelligence and tried to dodge player, also the way they informed about attack. Game just needs "jucier" graphics and more polished AI.

Tough game, but cool! I got to 18 kills. Interesting how much I had to move the mouse to do fast slashing, I was flinging that thing all around!

Why did you opt out of audio? You have sound effects and even background music!

Good take on the theme and I love the gameplay concept (That bee is insanely fast -maybe a bit too fast-).

ottersden 2014-12-20 20:59

This would be nifty on a touch screen! I got a score of 24. Well done!

mahalis 2014-12-21 05:14

It’s amazing how much fun this is for how simple it looks. Feels like a really good classic arcade game. The click-farther-away-to-go-faster mechanic is clever—adds a bit of depth to it. I agree with the other commenters: this would be fun on a touch screen. If you spent some more time on the graphics and sound this could do very well on the App Store :)

Fun game, I like it

eemmbbeerr 2014-12-21 11:52

Interesting idea, fun game, but should eiher capture the mouse or be fullscreen, because this way it doesn't react to the mouse when it's outside the window frame.
Also, don't forget to make a Linux build next time!

officialcodenmore 2014-12-21 14:51

It's quite simplistic, hard, but fun!

Nice work, simple and super easy to get into. Sadly I don't use a mouse (trackpad) so it was a bit more difficult to play. Didn't affect my rating though, it's just a bit more challenging.

Also, works with Wine under Linux, good job.
