Fun fun fun. Love shmups. Takeof on the compo theme almost similar to my game (rescue to the princess) although mine is a platformer. Good good one!

There's a lot going on in this game, what with the powerups and the map switching, and that's great! I'd have liked it if the enemies were a little easier to kill, but that's just me.

The familiar is super useful btw.

Good use of the theme! Very solid and fun shmup.

I liked the visuals and the audio, but the game was a bit too difficult for me. Maybe it is just me (still sleepy after finishing own entry) but I can barely survive until I'm able to switch map.

Nice crisp graphics, sound and great music. Feels very polished. Got that crunchy arcade game feel.

Fantastic entry with solid gameplay and energetic music. I really want to check more power-ups but it's too hard.

I love me a good shmup and for 48h this is really impressive! Great graphics and energetic sound. The map switching mechanic is the icing on the cake.

Fun game, I love the style of the graphics and audio.

Cool pixalart graphics and old school gameplay. :D

resty 2014-12-09 13:13

very good, i love shooting game, played so much.
it's hard to believe that you do all those thing in just 48h, great work!
only problem is that it has some frame drop on my computer with e3 + gtx970...

Fantastic. This is a bang on shmup. Really excellent. Great art and gameplay.

Ugh the memories... Nice job! Feels very polished

Cool and fun game that have lovely graphics! A lot more fun than the normal procedural space shooters IMO. Thanks for the game, good luck and Merry Christmas!

This game was awesome, i really like the scrolling plane type shooters, and you sir had done well, i also really like the switching maps mechanic :)

domicuc 2014-12-10 19:47

LOVE the art ! :) funny game ! Also check my project if you have some time mate x)

Good job on your compo entry, we can see a lot of work went into it and the map switching is a nice feature.

Player movement should probably have been constrained to the screen though. It's possible to dash directly to the boss at the start of the game, though it's not really useful.

Pure awesomeness, fellow Löver ! Great graphics :D

teameagle 2014-12-10 20:22

crashes for me (yosemite) unfortunately :(

headchant 2014-12-10 22:10

@K.Chplr: Haha, didn't think about that!

@TeamEagle: Sorry. Löve does not seem to be supported for yosemite at this time. Or maybe I'm bundling wrong, sorry!

radmars 2014-12-13 18:50

Wow this is awesome!! Graphics and music are stellar. Controls are pretty good though the movement feels pretty slow relative to how big your hitbox is, so that makes it a bit hard. My only suggestion would be to have the A/B and switching mechanics explained more ingame, it took me a while to figure out what my strategy should be. Awesome work!

floatingghost 2014-12-14 15:27

Very nice overall package, sound especially

anael 2014-12-14 15:28

fun ! but the theme ?

blzkz 2014-12-16 01:39

Awesome, very very fun, love shoot'm ups. Well done!

thopis 2014-12-17 23:22

Very nice mechanic with the maps and great controls!Visuals are cool too!

odefus 2014-12-17 23:33

Loved the graphics and the effects. Solid shmup action.

seraphki 2014-12-21 23:34

Awesome graphics. Takes me back to Skyshark. Can't ever get enough shooters like this. You certainly aren't pulling your punches with the difficulty either =3

lxd1 2014-12-28 20:38

fun

valeour 2014-12-29 13:00

Ouch. You hit my nostalgia hard. This looked and felt great, wonderfully executed. :D

jachepe 2014-12-29 13:41
