I'd love to play but
I can't start the game!!

Try it again. Turned out I had the wrong DLLs in the Windows package.

Can't play it on Windows, seems like you've missed msvc 2012 runtime dll.

Ahhhhh dangit. Try again. >_<#

I liked this game a lot, although it was very very difficult! I also had to read the instructions on this page several times before I managed to dominate my first enemy. Instruction in game would have helped a lot. Still, well done!

Great game! I really liked the graphics and concept of the unconventional weapon. Very cool and stylish realization. It's fairly hard, I'll grant that. I reached the two big popping eyes twice, died there twice and then rage quit xD

Great entry, good luck!

Trying to play this with keyboard and mouse was really difficult, but it definitely benefits a lot from controller support. It's a lot of fun once I got into it, with a lot of cool stuff going on. I think an indication of when you've hit a checkpoint would be nice, however.

ryusui 2015-04-21 22:34

I'll admit there's no visual feedback because most of the classic shooters don't tell you when you've hit a checkpoint, though I'll agree I should probably have put that in there. ^_^;

That said, the checkpoints are after each set of eye blocks, if it helps. ;)

Cool idea!

this game is difficult as it is fun to look at, which is very. But it became more fun after I realized how to play.

I liked this a lot. I love these entries that present very simple and yet very fun and promising concepts.

Pretty hard at the higher levels, but fun to play and the controls feel good.
The only problem is that the levels are all too similar between them.

ryusui 2015-04-22 21:01

Yeah. I was originally planning on ten different enemies but I ended up only implementing the five you see here. Six if you count the eye blocks. Oh, and the end boss.

I wonder if anyone's ever gotten that far. I just noticed I accidentally left his HP at 3 for testing purposes...^_^;

the graphics are awesome :)
and what is also awesome is the fact that you used love2D :D
good job.

Fun game once you figure out the controls. I would of liked the baton fire attack to be its own key. Felt like a solid 2D scrolling shooter with a twist and I had the impression of Metroid for some reason.

Really hard!

thedarknightdu78 2015-04-26 05:20

It's hard, but interesting

Needs music!

Fun game! This is the first LD game I used my 360 controller on. It handles very well, the game has a unique flow to it. Nice job!

Hard to master but great little game.
