Wait... dick cannon? HOLY SHIT EPIC GAME.
Okay, I really liked the artstyle and the game was very fun to play. Good job.

Is his full name Richard? Haha, but really I couldn't play it cause I'm on the Mac. Any way a mac or web player is coming out? I'm loving the look so far.

Hahahha. awesome! love the art. 5 for humor

only issue is that i frequently have trouble getting the doors to open :(

Liked the take on the punchline of dick cannon without ever saying that his dick is the weapon.
It's funny and has a nice tone to it all. I'll go with good and bad:

good:
- AS i said, funny intro, the black megadick that shoots white bullets is... well.. unconventional!
- Sprites are well done, scenary is sharp and has no major flaws i can see.

bad:

- Totally classic game. i see it has no wish to be groundbreaking and it is not
- controls on doors could have been a tad more intuitive and precise.

3/5 overall

Could have benefited from a health bar and Had some trouble getting the doors open. However I love this game! Simply hilarious!

minibobbo 2015-04-21 02:00

I am mildly disturbed now... Super smooth presentation, but the doors were tough to open.

Man this game was pretty hard, sometimes they shoot through walls. But this game was absolutely funny.

hburd 2015-04-21 02:34

Wow, this game is hard........
Made my day.

Nice done Richard

trenchgames 2015-04-21 03:14

That's unconventional weapon alright.. ha

nikteddy92 2015-04-21 08:39

Hahahaha Nice game! I really like the splash screen you did and the whole graphic is fantastic, simple and clean!
The gameplay is a little hard, you move really slow and the some bullet "pierces" through walls Dx
But it's really nice in the overall! Well done!

diningphilosopher 2015-04-21 16:15

Haha, epic weapon choice! The pixel art is very nice :)

I just wish I could shoot faster, that would make the game more fun. Perhaps more baddies to compensate.

2015-04-21 21:05

Not bad, some type of health regenerator would be nice.

Also, the shooting through walls is kinda annoying, and so are doors.

snicklodocus 2015-04-21 21:33

Wow, guess I should not have expected anything else from the title, haha. My inner five-year-old loved it. Art and presentation was great! I also had trouble with doors, but everything else was smooth. Gameplay is pretty hard and standard, but that's not necessarily bad. Great job for your first jam!

Thank you all for your feedback! :) I'd just like to address the 'bullets through walls', they don't actually go through the walls, they pass behind them due to the perspective of the game, much like the player can. I still see how it could be annoying thought haha. Thank you all so much for rating! :D

Reminds me of a character in Tokyo Gore Police. Pretty funny and nice simple art.

careless 2015-04-22 19:54

haha I just watched you play through it to get some tips and in a game called "Dick Cannon" you mentioned 'hard' and 'polished'...

Anyway's it is a fun game but too difficult, if you were just a little faster then avoiding the bullets would be a tad easier.

The pixel art is really neat, I like the mouse/camera movement.

Going to have a few more goes to complete it after voting, well done

prowler 2015-04-23 19:03

Wow! Hard game! The pixel art is great. It took me some seconds to get that the corners are 2.5D :) so they shoot me down. But anyways, good and entertaining game. Great job!

siryakko 2015-04-23 20:14

Reminds me of Commando on Commodore 64 when i was a child, great game

kabutakogames 2015-04-24 04:42

I thought this would be far less literal for some reason, great graphics!

chronodk 2015-04-26 15:28

Haha, you misused the theme the same way I did ;-)

Fun :)

jcsirron 2015-04-27 01:26

This is one of the few games that actually made me laugh out loud while playing it. The minimal sound made the "shots" really sound like cannons. Good job!

druid 2015-04-27 09:23

That art style is pretty neat, but i think that gameplay is little unbalanced. Enemies sometimes shoot trough walls or start shooting when they are outside my view, so i can't defend myself or dodge. Anyway, still good overall and pretty cool game!

garethiw 2015-04-27 09:59

Needs a little more work on the game feel. I mean, I know the weapon is a cannon, but some faster fire rate would have been nice. And faster movement. Art was great!

gillenew 2015-04-27 16:53

The game is cool, but some improvements as a few attributes such as speed of movement of the character and perhaps increase the speed of bullets will be great :)

chronusz 2015-04-28 02:29

I came, I saw, I came again ;-)

lukezaz 2015-05-07 01:32

Pretty good game. Obviously enough it needs better UI and music, but besides that it was rather difficult and I think it would help a lot if I could move faster. Also, collisions seemed a bit strange, I'd not get hit when I should've and get hit when I shouldn't have.
