I couldn't play this for too long. The screen rumbling when I shoot made me feel sick.

Yay for screenshake! Also pushing the character back a bit would have further enhanced the game feel.

I wish there was more game that the one level, it's quite fun in a visceral way.

Pretty cool game but please a little less camera shake damn. That random generation is pretty nice. Good work!

doggydog 2015-08-25 09:49

It is a bit confused and buggy. But the graphics is quite good.

First things first: the menu font is near-unreadable.

The aliens are indeed cute.

The game is decent, if dull. I got frequent issues with the gun not firing when I wanted it to.

I guess you might have some comments about the camera shake (made me feel some sickness too, maybe its feature to stop people from shooting)

Otherwise well done :)

I like the shaking plants when you walk near them, nice touch! Although I guess many have said this already, now I know what too much screen shake is like! :)

Cool little game, had more than a few goes before stopping to write this. The randomised levels mean that some are quite hard, others very simple. Not a bad thing, shakes it up a bit.

The camera shake was a bit much, a good idea but a bit overused, save it for the big stuff perhaps. I like all the particle effects and how everything seems a bit explodey though.

All in all, good fun.

The use of screenshake is a bit overpowering and not subtle enough in my opinion. Found it fairly difficult to read the menu. Game was pretty good though. Good job!

I thought this game was not bad but not great either, the whole shoot em' up style of play wasn't really innovative (shoot em' ups can be innovated example: Hotline Miami), the gameplay was repetitive and the camera shaking was hell (I don't want to feel like I'm in a city experiencing an earthquake while playing your game) also the player is pretty slow so navigating around the map is annoying and when you kill all the aliens nothing happens, It suited the theme perfectly in a rather hilarious way and I really liked the cute simplistic art style, but the fonts on the menu screen are really hard to read. It was a really funny concept but the mood was tanked by no audio. Overall I think this game was a nice entry but could really do with some polish here and then, still well done all the same.

Interesting, keep working

gamequester 2015-08-25 10:15

I think it was everything said about the camera. Beside that it was quite fun to play. Good job!

keyboardmonkey 2015-08-25 10:15

I killed all the cute aliens and became a monster :D

electron 2015-08-25 11:34

Sorry for the whole camera shake , We would improve it in a new version , all at once , Thank you all for playing .

electron 2015-08-25 11:41

And as I said it was our first game and needs a ton of polishing

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 14:10

I was confused but still, had some fun with this

electron 2015-08-25 14:11

The link is updated !

secularbaron 2015-08-25 14:12

Good graphics. The slime violence in this game is against everything I stand for. Truly we are the monsters.

vaida 2015-08-25 14:31

Nuclear Throne much? :p Good job on implementing procedurally generated levels, and I noticed some nice uses of screenshake, particles and movements. It felt satisfying to play! However, the lack of audio can be really felt in a game like this. I was also disappointed that there was only one level, as I was enjoying myself. Overall, I can see that you have the skills to make something great, good luck! :)

jannesn 2015-08-25 17:31

Nice work. Sometimes there are some aliens encaved so that you cant reach them. What kind of procedural generation are you using?

togimaro 2015-08-25 19:21

Feedback are here but sadly there is a slight lack of challenge and the absence of audio make the game a little sad, but overall it's a sympathic game!

mventurelli 2015-08-26 03:05

I think you got the camera implementation wrong... it gave me a bit of motion sickness

crucknuk 2015-08-26 09:15

Camera shake killed my brain. For a next version, you should add some audio to improve immersion. Good job!

glerikud 2015-08-26 13:08

Man shame there was no sound! Some metal with weapon sounds would totally give this one a fun atmosphere. There were some places where I couldn't move. Anyway, It's good fun for a few minutes, and I liked the camera shake too.

electron 2015-08-26 14:01

Thanks for you all people for playing and commenting on our game , we would update with all bug fixes and sound , and other things , in v1.1 , by the way , Enjoy LD jam

mantlair 2015-08-26 16:44

Procedural generation! Everywhere. Someone throw some procedural generator to me plz. Anyway cool graphic effects. Plants shaking! Good job!

eemmbbeerr 2015-08-28 09:49

I also had some motion sickness from that camera shake; in a game where continuous shooting is a good tactic that seems a little counter-productive.

kunzbe 2015-08-28 14:44

i loved the physic-based animations on the plants. At the end a was constantly shooting at the plants just to see it bend '^^ good job

thewalkingkiwi 2015-08-28 15:10

The lack of music kind of kills the mood, but it has pretty nice graphics and with some work the game could be a lot more fun.

vikpek 2015-08-30 12:47

There cannot be enough screenshake. Never!

ultraval 2015-09-13 12:45

Not bad. I found a bug in the map generation in one run (the map didn't have solution)

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-13 15:42

Cool game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/K5Eh9xNFJGY
