Excellent one! Though sounds are kind poorer than graphics, and diagonal attacks are not easy to perform.

Loved it. Great little pixel art game with wonderful charm. I liked how it switches between characters on each life too. The controls are smooth and the upgrades are nifty. Great work!

Sweet yoyo mechanic. has a nice amount of polish good work!

drprettypatty 2015-04-20 18:23

Really well polished, great sound, great music :) This was very fun and relaxing to play!

kyyrma 2015-04-20 18:24

This was fantastic! The graphics, music and gameplay are all super polished. I've seen games of roughly this quality (and worse) beings sold for pennies on the App Store.

Charming and blast to play. Great job guys!

Very cool! I like the art, the sound was pleasant, the mechanics was soft and the waves and upgrades were well measured. Congratulations on the game. 9/10

Just awesome! I see no flaws in it. Can be a great release on mobile or on flash game sites.

Lots of great little touches like the parallax clouds and bobbing flowers. The interface for interacting with the shop confused me a bit.

Graphics was top notch! I love the gameplay and with some more work this game could pretty addicting! :)

vicious_br 2015-04-20 18:29

5 stars for all!

An okay little game. But a yo-yo isn't unconventional because it has been used before as a weapon (Earthbound). The spacebar does the health up upgrade without the need to buy it, so whats the point? Anyway, nice job.

I love this game! It's so simple, so well done and so much fun, great job! Maybe could have been a bit harder earlier, after having played to wave 20 on my first try it seemed a bit much to start over again.. if it was more of a challange earlier on it would be more fun to try and beat your own highscore.

Great entry! Really fun and simple to play, though enemies do tend to get stuck in the bottom right hand corner.

stefandjagers 2015-04-20 18:34

The graphics! Oh the graphics! <3
Seriously. Your art is really amazing!!
I'm just blown away by this awesome entry!
A very very very very good job!!

Pretty fun game and cute graphics. The yoyo mechanic is great and the only thing that bugged me a little is the level design which could have been a bit more interesting.

Great job nonetheless, good luck!

bearishmushroom 2015-04-20 18:36

Pretty great game. The controls are really tight, and the graphics are great. There's a lot of attention to detail in this one. :D

fromsmiling 2015-04-20 18:36

Wish there was some more interesting physics with the yoyos. But otherwise, super cute! Even with the simplicity of the game, it was very smooth and fun.

lukbebalduke 2015-04-20 18:37

OMG! What an awesome entry!!! I LOVED your game, nice graphics, music, sfx and gameplay! =D

You could make a little invencibility after getting hitbecause I was so fucking happy playing this, and then... suddenly... PUF! I DIED!

5/5 =D

saymon 2015-04-20 18:38

Really great, i love it !

ludipe 2015-04-20 18:40

Extremely polished game. THe game feeling is pretty awesome and the yoyo mechanic feels rewarding. Graphics and music fit perfectly together.

Great job!

pixzleone 2015-04-20 18:42

Awesome! Keep it up dude!

stuffedgravy 2015-04-20 18:56

Great aesthetic and gameplay! I can see this being expanded on to make an awesome game.

The audio was a bit repetitive, and the progression was a *bit* slow; you could have ramped up the difficulty a bit faster at around like wave 8 or so. Grinding for money was also pretty slow, but I guess that's important since you didn't have upgrades increase in cost.
Overall, I played way more rounds than I expected to. The controls are super fun and the upgrades are pretty interesting :)

The best LD32 game I've seen so far, had me absolutely hooked, played until wave 52 and then I decided that my hand can't take it anymore after spamming the S-key for so long! :D Really a great game!

dragonxvi 2015-04-20 21:17

Pretty cool little game. Love the physics of the yoyo and the art style, very cutely presented!

jprogman 2015-04-21 01:33

Always love a yo-yo as a weapon. :)

designernap 2015-04-21 08:47

Great little game here. Very polished and well done. Only suggestion I would make is that you add a "game over" as when you die, it quickly restarts and it is not immediately clear what has happened. Superb Entry!

recursiveanomaly 2015-04-21 09:08

Great game! The graphics are beautiful and the yoyo responds well. The key bindings were a little awkward, and I kept hitting jump when I wanted to attack and vice versa. Having different characters when you respawn was a nice touch.

pibeex 2015-04-21 09:22

Hey, this yoyo reminded me of Earthbound !

flummox2d 2015-04-21 10:20

You will NEVER penetrate my WALL OF YOYOS!
Absolutely great game, loved it ^^

drauthius 2015-04-21 22:49

Really like the graphics and the game is fun to play too :) Great work!

rnlf 2015-04-24 19:48

Very cool game! I hote those brats though: Why do they have to kill innocent chicks? Serves them right that I played so bad and they got killed so often. The game seems very well polished, plays smooth, looks good, sounds great. What else do you need :-)

albinobat 2015-04-27 12:17

Probably the longest I've spent on any non-story based game, very addicting

maesk 2015-04-29 11:15

Excellent game! Superb graphics, nice music, and nice round mechanics. A shame that I'm quite bad with the yo-yo, which is slowly becoming a conventional weapon thanks to Smash Bros and your game :D

yuigoto 2015-05-03 17:21

Adorable game! Graphics are cute and animations are really well done. :) Nice work with audio too, soundtrack is really lovely and fits the game perfectly.

Gameplay in general is really nice and the game feels pretty polished enough. Want to see a full version of this! :D

Multiplayer would also be really something if this project gets expanded! :P

snicklodocus 2015-05-04 03:57

Great game! Loved the art. Little touches like switching characters are wonderful. Quite a lot of upgrades and enemy variety too. Good job!
