gets more fun as you get the hang. with some polish could be really great. not so unconventional though

foxthestampede 2015-04-20 02:52

Fun to play, though I had problems with the boomerang not picking up the heart and instead hitting me with the bomb despite successfully hitting an enemy.

ViliX 2015-04-20 03:19

I like the simple graphics.

eriku 2015-04-20 03:19

Oh wow. Tough game. Took a good number of tries to finally win. Score of 68. Liking the music and graphics, and gameplay was addictive. Well done!

The difficulty curve on this game is high, be sure to read the description to understand how to play. However once you get into it it's a really challenging and run mechanic to work with and the turn around time on failure is so fast it doesn't matter if you die a lot.

Adorable graphics and very innovative mechanic! I had *a lot* of fun playing this. I didn't find any issues either. Well done!

Pretty good graphics and gameplay, but not really that great of a theme.

havacore 2015-04-20 05:14

Yea!! Got that blue sumbitch!

So it was pretty confusing at first, but it's really fun once you figure out how it all works.

Pretty cool gameplay!

Nice pixelart!

thebigshot 2015-04-20 06:56

Thank you for your Comments :) I really enjoyed making this game and playing all the other games.

evgis 2015-04-20 07:03

Really cool! Loved the concept, it's really original in my opinion. Graphics are decent, sounds too. Would've liked some decent music with it though. Keep up the good work!

yahooda 2015-04-20 07:05

Very innovative! It's difficult but not frustrating, probably because the smooth controls and simplicity made me understand why I lost so I could improve next time.

2015-04-20 07:09

Awesome Game. Really something new. I think it goes quite well with the theme. Loved the music as well. Great work.

ajopart 2015-04-20 09:17

Hardcore. But really fun. Congratulations !! Addictive, neat, simple and original. I must be tired because I didn't grab the rules right away. Nice job !

thebigshot 2015-04-20 09:36

Yeah we are all tired. I really want to sleep, but there are so many cool games to try out. Thanks for your Comment :)

Pretty cool idea, sometimes the boomerang seemed to pass right through things, but it was still good fun.

Hard too! But that's a good thing.

armanky 2015-04-20 15:24

Whoa, this game's really cool. I like how you hurt yourself if you miss an enemy and how it balances with healing yourself when you do, since it discourages reckless shooting. This would've done great in the arcade era!

strawfield 2015-04-20 17:35

5/5 for innovation definitely. It's a nice spin on boomerangs that has room for further development.
It's a nice game. Took me a while to figure out what was going on though.

bpleonvong 2015-04-21 05:22

Boss is hard, what happens at the end?! Fun game.

aeveis 2015-04-21 05:29

Great gameplay and difficulty curve! the blue guy was a surprise. Great job!

mental-atrophy 2015-04-21 05:33

This was very good. My best time was 37 seconds. Early on I spam attacks since I'm guaranteed to hit a lot of things, after that I start aiming more carefully so I don't kill myself.

thebigshot 2015-04-21 06:07

Thank for the kind comments again. When you kill the blue guy it plays a victory sound and you win the game :) Didnt have much time to add extra things. But I can udate the gae if you guys like and upload a new version somewhere else.

pixel_3 2015-04-21 06:23

A really well polished game with some really good game feel going on.

archonthewizard 2015-04-21 07:13

Tons of fun- took me a while to figure it out. Very impressive considering it was coded from scratch

yamzho 2015-04-21 07:41

Nice game ! ;)

wg_phancock 2015-04-21 10:33

Really well done mechanic.

pixel_3 2015-04-21 19:56

Made a twitch highlight of my review. http://www.twitch.tv/alucardx60/c/6578204

andrewjoy 2015-04-22 02:44

Fun game, challenging too :D

crefossus 2015-04-22 22:17

Really polished with an innovative weapon! Great job balancing the difficulty. I like the sfx, win music, and attention to detail on the enemies and art.

xaychru04 2015-04-23 11:07

Nice concept, a bit short, but feels polished and the music is really nice, congrats on your first LD! :)

taro 2015-04-23 23:33

Had a lot of fun in the live-streaming session. Pretty darn hard, but felt very fair. Hard to believe it's your first entry.

For a future update, line-of-sight would really help assist the aiming.

lukezaz 2015-04-25 02:17

Very nice game, the boss was unexpected and it was nice to hear a unique soundtrack for it.

dorgam 2015-04-27 12:05

Although there is not much connection to the theme, the game is still fun

rfgpfeiffer 2015-05-09 17:52

I like the risk involved in shooting the boomerang. My only gripe is that you die when you touch the edge of the screen.

almost 2015-05-09 22:09

This is pretty cool, and it felt polished for a Ludum dare entry.

teamspatch 2015-05-11 18:23

Nice entry, very well balanced. We have to fight against the enemies AND ourself ^^.
Graphics simple, retro and efficent.
Good : )
