Nice game for being unfinished. Its just dark..

Thanks, I'm working on a post-compo version.

I liked the idea of having this rag tag crew that have nothing in common, band together to defeat the rectangles :)

It was an interesting idea. I wasn't quite sure what weapon to use on each enemy

I didn't understand how to play. I couldn't get anything to shoot or do anything. The main view was just solid black rectangles for me.

:-( The black rectangles is a bug I have with some opengl driver (eg: macosx)

That was pretty funny! Well done :)

I liked where this was going! I've seen a couple of entries play around with selecting the 'correct' weapon I think it's a neat approach. There's kind of a frantic-ness to it. I think it would be neat if all of the enemies etc were symbols as opposed to text but I presume that was probably part of the plan.

It took me a moment to realize that there was an ammo system and I couldn't quite work out how the multipliers worked either, but it's an interesting start! Good job!

I wasn't sure what the symbols above the character types at the top meant, and when I saw numbers appear like "01x03" I had no idea what those meant either. I can tell there's an interesting concept underneath it all, however.

Tried the "Java 8" download, which failed with java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://alchim31.free.fr/download/ld32/jres/jre-1.8.0.20-linux-x64.jar

Maybe because the Java version on my system is 7.

Anyway, I tried the Linux download instead. It has some rendering problem because all the images were just black. So I couldn't rate unfortunately.

I’m afraid the game only display dark tiles on Linux, so it’s not playable :(
