good game, i hope it could increase the difficulty.

A better introduction to what I'm supposed to do a little help a lot. But else it's okay.

Interesting concept!

Good first entry!

175.77 seconds. I have to say the idea of smacking dudes with your cursor would have never occurred to me. This is one of the most innovative ideas I have so far.

One of the most creative unusual weapons if you think of it abstractly; Not that we don't use mouses in games usually, but saying the pointer that is on our face wherever we turn the PC on to a point we pretty much ignore it, that is a rather creative concept.

Fun, agile, this game is what I expect from a Ludum Dare game, creativity at it's finest.

Increase the difficulty overtime. Add more possible actions that you could do with the pointer (lasso, marquee, click, right click...)

Funny idea. Too easy to cheat the AI by just waiting under the platform. Would have been cool to have more level and difficulty ramping up.

That was more fun than it initially appeared to be! It was surprisingly satisfying to hear the tick as the stickmen went down to my pointy cursor. It would be great to see more variations and elements introduced to this game. Kudos.

Cool idea! I love the idea of having a weapon that hurts you and the enemy at the same time. Neat!

I got to 44 seconds. This was a nice simple concept and very playable. Great job! Im not sure why I cant vote on theme though, I think this was a perfect example of the theme.

@bossmojoman: thinks for catching that i though theme was like atmosphere.

Quite an addictive game! I really like how this game plays with your instict to use the mouse to move your character. I think nearly each time I died was because I touched my player with the cursor while I was unconciously trying to make him move. Really good entry for your first LD.

Cool idea. Could do with a difficulty curve or something. I stopped after 100 kills.
I liked that you can hurt yourself, it made it more interesting.

This was a very neat game. :) Took a while to realize you can move and jump! I had fun playing it with my stylus. Wish it would get harder over time though.
