Nice! Polished entry, controls and effects are creating really satisfying experience I think. I've found only minor bug -- if you're standing directly next to the left wall, it's impossible to shoot. But otherwise I really like this one! Good job :-)
@rincewind_cz ah thank you for pointing that out! I should have a fix for that very soon! And thank you for your comments!
Very fun to play. Vlambeer style game.
It's a fun shooter, and I like the cute graphics too. The game reminds me of smash TV.
The enemies bullets might be a bit too fast, also there was a lot of gibs as you mentioned but no that much blood. Would have liked more power ups, I only got the flamethrower once and the spread effect 5 times or so. Do the coins do anything? I'm assuming they're for score but I couldn't see that anywhere. Also when the game ends can you restart it?
@AndreasL Each powerup has a 1/3 chance of appearing. I think you got a little unlucky to only see the shotgun. The machinegun and flamethrower are a lot of fun.
Sadly, I didn't have time to finish the coins or more weapons/enemies.
And yes, the game automatically restarts a few seconds after all the enemies retreat.
Thanks for the feedback!
Brilliant entry, it reminded me a bit of Super Crate Box in the graphics and overall feel, which is a (very) good thing.
Also, flamethrowers <3<3
Great polished game with fun combat and nice pixel graphics
I love it! The shotgun is amazing :D
@Neonian Thanks! Yeah I find the shotgun so satisfying to use!
Gameplay is good! Very good!
Game becomes a little bit slow when lots of particles are on screen, but otherwise it's technically and artistically great!
Really great arena blaster! Love it.
Great fun! Really impressive considering our time limit.
Awesomely polished and very fun to play!
Nicely worked out game concept. Simple, yet quite satisfying. Well done!
i loved the controls ... the graphic style is very fun, too. congrats, dude
Nice game! Pretty!
Wow, that was cool. I love that kind of game, where you use different weapons and face different enemies. And you had so many nice touches. You definitely got that satisfying feel you were shooting for!
I liked the way you spawned the enemies, too. There was a tactical element picking who to target first, and always kind of backing away in panic and saying, "why did I get close to the top again when I knew they were going to spawn!?"
I don't know if it was random, but after I died it felt like the difficulty dropped back a bit to give me some breathing room but didn't send me all the way back to the start of the game. The pace came right back in nicely. If you did that on purpose, nice touch.
There were just two things I was wishing for, which I mention only because you have a great game here done with nice craft! First I wanted some kind of score to feel progress and keep me motivated beyond mere survival. Second I would have liked more contrast in the graphics between the background and the characters. It looked nice, but I lost the hero's position a lot of times, especially when his gun changed suddenly to something an enemy on the screen was also using. If he visually popped more it would have helped. The samurai were just awesome, but their red color also made them stand out well visually, whereas the other enemies I sometimes lost track of.
Great job.
Love the art style. I like how small the screen is. Been wanting to make a game like this, you made it look better than I would imagine. Nice little animations. With some music it'd be EVEN better. Good job!
Too bad you didn't finish. It looks awesome and what is there of the gameplay looks very promising.
Can I haz post compo version, plz?
Very nice take on Smash TV. Good amount of polish.
Very fluid, responsive and fun! The art is cool, sounds are a nice addition. It feels really polished, great job!
Love the graphics, and the general UI layout, weapons are satisfying to shoot - well done. =3
