I like the game. Looks great. The idea is great. I would say that I would prefer the controls to be asdw and that they moved the char in the direction he is facing, not just up/down/left/right.

tater_hater 2014-12-08 03:27

Loved this a lot

devwouter 2014-12-08 03:28

Like sharp911 I agree with the ASDW controls. I also liked the music in the background. The scaling of the difficulty was a bit too fast (remember most people will not attempt to be jedi-master as your your game :) )

1samuel4111 2014-12-08 03:29

I agree with @sharp911, WASD is much better.

chrisgaudino 2014-12-08 03:31

Very cool. Being able to use asdw in addition to the arrow keys would make it a lot easier for those of us playing on laptops.

luisguimaraes 2014-12-08 03:31

I too would like to play on WASD. The core gameplay is quite nice though.

gins 2014-12-08 03:33

That was quite exciting. Starts out slow but soon I didn't know which way to face. Being a Jedi is harder than I thought. UNLESS you just sit in a corner, out of the bots' reach ;) But I tried a lot of times before I cheated like this. Cool game!

jaloko 2014-12-08 03:33

The idea of this game is awesome. I would prefer the controls to be WASD as well.

recursiveanomaly 2014-12-08 03:33

The force was not with me. The difficulty goes up real quick.

krimble 2014-12-08 03:36

Good game, only problem I had was the ability to walk off the side of the screen. Other than that the game was fun with nice visuals and good sound effects.

wezley 2014-12-08 04:09

Loved the music! xD Great game!

endesga 2014-12-08 04:11

Interesting game :D love it

ehtd 2014-12-08 04:20

the mouse was a weird control, but other than that, fun game

jarry 2014-12-08 04:32

Thx for the comments ! i've updated a version with asdW controles

cmcoto 2014-12-08 04:42

Loved it! Had trouble at first with turning the Jedi, but got it eventually. My force is not strong...

halleflux 2014-12-08 04:56

Well made. Reminds me of a game the I played... wow, ages ago.
Well done.

woodecker 2014-12-08 05:16

Nice graphics!

opengl 2014-12-08 05:30

A nice retro game!

karol 2014-12-08 05:49

Enjoyed it a lot. Suprisingly hard.

nuclearnapalm 2014-12-08 05:49

Wow, interesting twist on jedi theme! Simple but interesting mechanics! Great job!

lynx 2014-12-08 06:32

Super entertaining game for such simple mechanics! I like the humming soundtrack too, nice touch!

(Don't let Disney know you made this, lol)

hunterloftis 2014-12-08 06:34

Du du du duuuuu du...

tppr2046 2014-12-08 06:43

Great idea!! I think I have no "Force" so that I lose so fast...:p

stjahns 2014-12-08 07:01

Ahhhhhh so many lazzers! Awesome. Dope music too :)

benmcnelly 2014-12-08 07:27

Ohhh this gets hard, nice job!

bcole99 2014-12-08 08:15

Heh. Fun idea. I went into it thinking 'oh this is easy' and It got really hard really quick. The mouse look was a little awkward. But it might have been too easy otherwise.

daviosmash 2014-12-08 08:20

I might have just went into the bottom left corner and allowed them to kill themselves while I got water, but a really fun game!

gokuhd 2014-12-08 08:42

Very cool! I love the soundtrack haha and the gameplay is very nice too, the only thing, it was a bit complicated to play because I don't have a mouse but the game is very good :)

jarry 2014-12-08 08:43

Haaaaa, you found the weak spot @daviosmash ! Thx for the reviews all

2014-12-08 09:03

I like it, great idea and fun gameplay!

rincewind_cz 2014-12-08 09:18

c̶r̶e̶d̶i̶t̶s̶ rating will do fine!

groydis 2014-12-08 11:10

Awesome work, controls could of used more play testing, but fantastic non the less.

fede3751 2014-12-08 11:27

Cool idea! WASD for moevement would have been better, but it was fun overall!^^

dannyhodge 2014-12-08 12:00

Really liked this, very well timed for the Star Wars trailer as well :D

anikki 2014-12-08 12:15

Simple and good.

kchplr 2014-12-08 12:16

Fun game with good (simple) controls ! imho it could be a very good basis for a more polished multiplayer game.

greenyuk 2014-12-08 12:21

Nice little game. Starts out easy, but gets pretty hectic real quick.

tagliatl 2014-12-08 12:23

Haha, I love the music, I love the explanation and I love the concept, everything is awesome :D

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-08 13:17

Sweet! Nice audio. Founds the controls tricky at first, but it gets easier as you go.

techblogogy 2014-12-08 14:14

Great game, loved every second of it.

drludos 2014-12-08 19:06

Very nice game, easy and fun to play. I like it when several robots at firing at you at the same time!
Congratulations! :)

bazld 2014-12-08 20:24

All-round excellent game! The mechanic is really satisfying, makes a change from regular shooters. 5/5 from me.

pjimmy 2014-12-09 01:01

nice, great background music :)

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 01:48

Great use of the theme. I love SW so I love this game in so many levels. Thanks!!!!

kunonooni 2014-12-09 03:46

Liked the idea, well executed.

indieindio 2014-12-09 04:31

nice !

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=46736 check out our game

interface 2014-12-09 04:39

Mouse seemed a bit too laggy for quick turning around, but great entry!

watercressstudios 2014-12-09 04:39

Awesome little game! Although if you position yourself in the corner, you basically become impervious to the lasers and can easily win.

harley77 2014-12-09 04:46

Well, I suck at this. It gets hard real fast. I like it though. Great job!

tortoise 2014-12-09 04:54

Really fun. I enjoyed the first few seconds but the difficulty went up really fast. Cool idea.

rjhelms 2014-12-09 05:40

Solid, simple mechanic and a good challenge. Great job!

rabbit 2014-12-09 05:41

Reflection angles dont make a lot of sense.

Projectiles are really small, making it extremely frustrating to hit anything.

Finished the game by standing in one spot and turning.

cheshyr 2014-12-09 05:51

That was difficult. And excellent. Nice work!

po8rewq 2014-12-09 05:53

May the force be with you

otaviogood 2014-12-09 06:05

This is one of the most fun games I have played so far.

lukezaz 2014-12-09 06:16

Fun, but a little too easy, since you can just go to a corner and bounce all the bullets away without risk.

vidsneeze 2014-12-09 08:45

Fun, and good movement controls. once you get 3 or 4 of those grey orbys going it gets pretty nasty to try and cover your back he he

viclw17 2014-12-09 08:54

I like this idea. the man's sing is interesting.
I broke the game, just stand at a corner. :/

woz2601 2014-12-09 09:46

Nice idea. Controls are a bit strange at first, but overall it's pretty fun

badpaul34 2014-12-09 12:22

Dude your game is awesome too! Minimalistic but efficient, that's what I like.
The only thing that bother me is the lack of feedback when hit by a laser ^^ But that's a detail
Great work !!

hippolyta 2014-12-09 12:55

Fun game but the controls are a bit weird :-)
But this aside, it was interesting!

Well done!

leaghorn 2014-12-09 13:50

Very enjoyable. Good controls and nice graphics.

dieblume86 2014-12-09 14:15

Haha i love the music^^.

recursor 2014-12-09 22:50

Starts out easy but gets hard pretty quick. Great idea for a game.

drnick 2014-12-10 04:57

Quite interesting!
At first very hard it seemed, but then ancient strategy of standing in corner found I.

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-10 10:55

Yay ! Jedi ! Fuck yeah :D Loved it! Fun. Good job.

spitfire87 2014-12-10 23:12

LOL dat badass Yoda xD

Found it really hard the first run, but then discovered an easy way to beat em, just go as close as posible and aim is almost not required.

Anyways good job, it was funny and a very good entry for the compo. Well done!

ali312 2014-12-12 19:49

Haha, "You suck, that is why you fail" :D
Very nice idea
I've enjoyed playing very much!

minibobbo 2014-12-13 02:11

This was hilarious. I loved the "music" and the Yoda quotes at the end.

At first I thought it was too easy, then the remotes started activating quickly and I retreated to the corner. Wasn't enough to save me though...

mventurelli 2014-12-16 11:16

I liked it a lot! Could have used a "swing" move instead of the static saber, since the game is exploitable by simply running right up to the enemies. Also wanted to swing the lightsaber because WHOOOOOOM. Great entry! :D
