I'm running the Linux/GNU build and it crashes whenever I tried to change the keybindings.
I played with the default ones anyways, just to see how it was.
The idea is incredibly simplistic. It's basically just an arcade game. The only reason it fit the theme is because simplistic arcade games were always on only one theme. Try harder next time.

V for Vectory provides a very simple, yet hectically fun experience

for a game created in such a small time, it's a fantastic result; with a little more polish i'd be willing to pay some amount of money for it

my only complaint is that there isn't more game to play

2014-12-08 01:59

Great job Quill!, amazing game design and it plays awesomely. Keep up the good work!!!!

2014-12-08 01:59

I love this game very well done. I personally didn't find a reason to change the keybinds as they were well optimized. Very hard but, very fun

geartech0 2014-12-08 02:05

I had fun playing it (which is what a game is for). Its quick and reminds me of geometry wars.
That being said, its pretty easy. Missiles are OP and turrets are more OP. I basically die when i feel like dieing. But end the end i did enjoy it. Its fun to see how far you can go.
When it comes to the theme, i honestly think it was a cop-out. It wasn't that innovative.
In conclusion, the game was really fun with a few little things i didnt like here and there. The hitting on the theme was a cop-out, but it did succeed with the theme. So, good job. I like it

sportsquid 2014-12-08 02:10

Lots of fun, love the glow of the graphics, I like how it is a combination of dota and a space shooter

croze 2014-12-08 02:14

Really fun!

2014-12-08 02:15

Got to wave 52 with cheats, dem squids are hard

2014-12-08 02:16

This game performs well, is simple learn and play, and feels robust. Could have a little bit more of a polish hear and there but overall it is a well executed game.

sharp911 2014-12-08 02:45

looks good. I like the graphics and the the way it looks. I am having a hard time with the controls.

sharp911 2014-12-08 02:57

This is great. A little hard to get used to control.

groydis 2014-12-08 02:58

Great Game Quill18, Good job!

foxthestampede 2014-12-08 03:02

Very fun game, though the sounds of the missile explosions get annoying very quickly

recursiveanomaly 2014-12-08 03:06

Awesome Game. I love the combination of tower defense / shooting. Very polished for LD :)

liquidmedia 2014-12-08 03:12

It’s a good game a nice upgrade from the one screen games that I use play. When they were all one screen. It’s a step learning curve to keep up with the AI upgrades I like that.

2014-12-08 03:18

Great game you can the time put into it really reflects how good the game is and it plays very well. I think it is simple yet fun to play.

superpokeunicorn 2014-12-08 03:24

Amazing as usual, Quill. Really love the genre blending. If I had one gripe, it would be that the shape of the ship sort of contradicts with the way it moves, which is kinda confusing. I feel that the earlier design that did not have a clear front better reflected the way the ship moved. But that's only as minor gripe for an otherwise fantastic entry .

paperscraps 2014-12-08 03:43

Very cool game. Solid execution of the theme. I really enjoyed it.

glaze_96 2014-12-08 03:55

Extremely fun, simple and addicting. Just like a game should be!

spacemyname 2014-12-08 04:07

A bit difficult, but pretty fun

interface 2014-12-08 04:09

Great stuff, and the music didn't make me sneeze or anything (point for humor!). As usual you've gone into some depth, so I'll have to revisit to figure out all the upgrades etc.

vulture-tamer 2014-12-08 04:09

too hard for me xD

kitch 2014-12-08 04:49

First impression... too much, coming way too fast at me (I'm old)... but I think I can see where this is going, and I like it.
I think what this needs is a lot more attention than I have right now coming off the LD weekend. Coming back to this one later..

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2014-12-08 04:57

great! love the getting hurt effect. not much to improve!

graebor 2014-12-08 05:48

There's a cool game in here, the parts I didn't like were all non-gameplay related: UI is pretty cluttered, and the tutorial at the start is a pretty huge raw info dump, etc. Obviously it's a bit silly to look for polish in a jam game though, so good work!

mactinite 2014-12-08 07:42

Pretty fun shooter! Nothing super crazy but it was done pretty well! Tons of upgrades!

valtaroth 2014-12-08 08:41

A nice mashup of different genres, I like it.

cmayhem 2014-12-08 10:19

Has a bit of a learning curve even with all the help. Great fun!

antisc2 2014-12-08 10:44

This is just a very very good game. It's fast pace, challenging and really fun. The audio is very good and the game overall feels so polished.

mrwillowb 2014-12-08 10:53

Two thumbs up :) nothing bad to say about this little gem. Awesome fun, great weapon upgrades, easy learning curve, intense action.Lots of explosions and an awesome Nuke effect.
All this done in under 48 hours, Quill18 is a GOD.

2014-12-08 11:12

Great game, but same as @LIESard, it breaks when trying to change the keybindings on native Mac app.
Otherwise, it's a simple but great idea !

cruion 2014-12-08 12:01

Excellent game! The art style and gameplay is excellent.

taviandir 2014-12-08 12:28

A fun but difficult game! The aestethics are a bit all over the place, but still a great entry.

oh_cripes 2014-12-08 13:29

Too difficult for me.

rallebauz 2014-12-08 14:24

Awesome game, I especially like the graphics, similar to geometry wars. It was fun trying to figure out the best way to start out (missiles are definitely the best). I would imagine it to be even better with a joystick or controller

2014-12-08 16:44

I can't play the game because the links to your site seem to be broken for me. Looked good from the livestream though.

wevel 2014-12-08 17:44

Some of the upgrades seemed a bit pointless because they where not as good as others. Otherwise, A good game.

2014-12-08 18:00

Ok, was just a glitch with my internet.

This game is great. Difficult, but great.

gallerdude 2014-12-08 18:48

Fun, fast paced, full of awesome.
Upgrade system works magically.
Fantastic balance.

skeeto 2014-12-08 19:05

Probably the largest, most complete game I've seen yet. I like the wide variety of upgrades available. This feels like a proper tower defense game. Also, nice juice.

I like the "boss" squid things. That's a cool idea. It add a secondary goal (to eliminate them).

I'm not really a fan of this sort of movement scheme: free aim (mouse) but movement locked along two axes (WASD / arrow keys). Very few games can pull it off, and even then only barely. It makes fighting feel tedious, such that I'd rather focus on the larger scale stuff, like placing mines and ice.

dramentiaras 2014-12-08 19:13

Awsomely fun! Got to wave 49, killed 5847 enemies, and got a score of 567668 points before I lost. Just pure bullet hell fun!

vortex 2014-12-08 19:28

Very nice Game, good graphics, nice effects, lots of content, but HARD!

doubstract 2014-12-08 19:34

I only believe this was made in 48 hours because I watched livestream a little bit. Epic Game. (a little too difficult without any cheats i would say)

recursor 2014-12-08 19:44

Pretty hard game but very well done. Even the music is good.

professorrekyl 2014-12-08 20:28

Thanks, I did really enjoy your stream as well! Good game flow and mechanics, it was hard and yet simple (arcade).

psychomonster 2014-12-08 20:59

The Difficulty is very hight :D But it is fun. Like the upgrade system. Good job

tomdeal 2014-12-08 21:35

Very nice game. It has a ton of features for only 48 hours. Obviously you distracted us other developers by streaming the whole time ;-)

valon 2014-12-08 23:15

It's amazing for only a 48 hour game. I follow your video on youtube and that was to be expected but still. Great.

thermite 2014-12-09 00:36

Really nice concept, and nice graphics. If the controls were a little smoother it would be great. Good job.

kunonooni 2014-12-09 00:49

You created a very fun and addictive game. I love the music its not obtrusive and it blends very will with the game play. I can agree the difficulty is a little high, but once you know what your options are it is manageable. Speaking of options, I have to say you do give the player many of them and this is a good thing. Rather than setting the player down a predetermined path you let the player craft his/her own experience. All in all it was a fun and pleasurable experience.

mrleeperry 2014-12-09 03:12

Haha, I got my ass beat, but you did a great job with the game. I dug the visuals and vibe.

fatkarate 2014-12-09 03:23

Awesome GL mate

watercressstudios 2014-12-09 03:34

Overall, the game felt quite nice. It fit the theme well. The default controls worked fine for me.

The design is simple, but it works. It was fun to play, however it felt imbalanced in some areas. The rocket weapon seemed to work much better than the others. Though, as time progressed, you couldn't afford to make mistakes, which makes sense.

The graphics were very simplistic, reminiscent of old arcade games. Audio fit, but wasn't particularly outstanding.

The game could use some work in areas, but I found it enjoyable in any case.

sirricecake 2014-12-09 04:58

Fun to play!

vairse 2014-12-09 05:03

Starting weapon seems a bit useless, but other than that a stellar game jam game.

cxsquared 2014-12-09 05:39

I really like the idea of an arcade tower defense. The graphical effects really add to the game. Nice work.

hazzahazzam 2014-12-09 06:05

Quill, I love the effort you put into little details such as the screen shaking every wave, it's what makes the game a whole lot better.

cheshyr 2014-12-09 06:25

Interesting game. A little overwhelming at the start, but it grown on you. Smooth gameplay; nice work!

vogon101 2014-12-09 08:34

Love the game

dcolgan 2014-12-09 15:32

Very juicy! Love the effects and pretty good music too.

aske 2014-12-09 20:43

Quick and replayable. i like it!

magicolo 2014-12-09 21:34

-Decent action tower defense gameplay :)
-Good replayability :)
-Missiles are OP ;)
-The game I have played the most yet :D

shadowstryker 2014-12-09 22:42

Absolutely loved it. It was extremely fun, and games like this are the kind that I aspire to make in my future Ludum Dares.

2014-12-09 23:44

Amazing game!

2014-12-10 00:36

Great game! Tons of fun

zkenshin 2014-12-10 00:40

Fun game, all around well done. Nice job. :)

finnmacd 2014-12-10 01:22

This is amazing

leaghorn 2014-12-10 04:38

very cool game, but too hard.

murchurl 2014-12-10 06:09

Solid gameplay and quite fun! I think this game has potential, great effort!

legiion 2014-12-10 10:00

This is Awesome and very enjoyable, i really like the style and overall game design

murdersantateam 2014-12-10 11:38

awesome as always quill18 :)

alendro 2014-12-10 15:00

Cool game! Enjoyed the gameplay

wakka 2014-12-10 15:09

Great game, looks really polished and complete.

snoutup 2014-12-10 15:45

Really well made and a ton of fun, but damn it gets you hard at the beginning! I get overwhelmed before I get decent upgrades or buildings going on :)

2014-12-10 18:57

Great Game as always Quill, IMO its the best you've ever made. Better than most payed games nowadays got to wave 33 score 98828 with no cheats and i'm gonna keep going thanks for making it.

terraneola 2014-12-10 21:48

I had a lot of fun with this game. Thanks!

tmat-productions 2014-12-10 22:41

Awesome game! Your YouTube channel is awesome too!

gafblizzard 2014-12-10 23:11

Nice presentation and smooth gameplay, but losing points on upgrades or weapon switches is frustrating. I think it could still be fun if the switches were free after initially purchasing the weapons.

Also, the music and sound effects were a little annoying.

x70x 2014-12-11 15:06

This is one of my favorite games so far for this LD. Excellent job!

mathias234 2014-12-11 16:06

Kinda nice but i dont really like the controls they should shift as you rotate

sinistragames 2014-12-13 02:24

Good job, Quill! Awesome work!

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-13 10:20

Great defence game with lots of depth and side mechanics to keep things interesting.

ianatherton 2014-12-13 12:00

Simple, entertaining, and hard

ping78 2014-12-15 19:17

Very good game. If only I could see and hear the development of it.

dusho 2014-12-15 20:26

great game as usual, quill
sometimes it felt a bit laggy
also, rockers are OP at the start :)

phocker 2014-12-26 16:59

really hard game - but has lots of replayability - great job

hendri 2014-12-28 16:18

It's a hard game and because of that I like it.

lxd1 2014-12-29 16:55

Fun
