Great game, addictive!

crafteverywhere 2015-12-14 21:29

Simple and fun! I love it!

batmanasb 2015-12-14 21:32

Really fun, although I'd recommend reducing the max enemy objects on screen to about 4 (maybe 5), and spikes down to 1, because it literally gets impossible at times.

floppya 2015-12-14 21:33

Good game, I played it longer than any other game so far. Perfect amount of gibbing.

danielsann7 2015-12-14 21:35

the gameplay is fun the music and sound are very good, nice work very addicting!

gerjj 2015-12-14 21:40

Greatly executed!

thembi 2015-12-14 21:54

It was a bit hard to get the jump (left+right) to happen consistently.

codecranker 2015-12-14 21:57

Very very cool. LOVE IT!

programyourface 2015-12-14 21:58

That was the first game I had fun playing ;)

geckoo1337 2015-12-14 22:00

Really interesting mechanics. I like it. Funny. You respect the rules and the theme. Neat - one of my favorites. Thank you for this entry ++

gornova 2015-12-14 22:29

really funny, well done! It's hard to master!!

nooner-bear 2015-12-14 23:02

Great concept! Challenging but fun.

8/r8 m8

ewchap 2015-12-15 04:51

Awesome concept. Love the risk/reward for shooting. has a great balance. I also think the recoil as a backwards jump plays amazingly well. Great Work!

alvarop 2015-12-15 06:15

Very nice implementation of the two button theme. I think the game is too difficult from the get-go though, it would have been nice to ease in the player so that he can get used to the mechanics.

I did enjoy the game though and thought it was great, BUT I'm the type of person that likes difficult games.

mendi 2015-12-15 13:49

great mate!

deity 2015-12-15 17:53

Cool mechanics, really nice animations. Good job!

taffaz 2015-12-15 19:33

This game was great. Loved the recoil mechanic. best I got was 24 seconds.

picking-a-username-is-hard 2015-12-15 21:05

Love the game, however running into brick walls didn't do anything on the web version, idk if that was intentional but that's the only complaint from me.

It's very addicting and tons of fun. Everything about that game is great. Honestly I think it deserves a 10/10 for this Ludum Dare. Fantastic work

muel 2015-12-16 02:22

You used the theme in a very original way! Congrats!

fluidvolt 2015-12-16 12:24

This is great. Love shooting left and right, careening and bouncing across the screen like a madman. Charming pixel visuals -- and the exploding gibs effect when people die is icing on the cake. Good stuff!

piechronicles 2015-12-16 12:58

This is very fun and has some real nice mechanics in there! Would love to keep playing.
I found it a bit difficult to avoid enemies who shoot bullets. Minus that it was very enjoyable :) Graphics and animation are on point too! grats.

decentsauce 2015-12-16 18:20

Somehow went through a wall once. :o Cool game and very fun! Good use of the theme.

shaunjs 2015-12-16 18:24

Awesome! Solid design =)

spinach_chicken 2015-12-16 19:34

I love the graphics and the unique gameplay! I don't think I've seen anything like this in any of the other entries.

dege 2015-12-16 21:33

Mobile success in 3.. 2.. 1.. :) Really fun, can't get past 24, but I tried countless times! Great concept, perfect gameplay. I found that I can jump only after a while (and by accident), maybe you can write that down. Music is nice and fits well. I need one more star for the "theme" vote.

zanzlanz 2015-12-16 22:05

Gameplay ROCKS, great work! It's quite balanced and fun (not sure if every part is possible to beat though). I can imagine a leaderboard would do quite well for this game ;)

ajopart 2015-12-16 22:13

One of my favorite concept ! Good job

archonthewizard 2015-12-16 22:49

Great LD Entry! Strangely addictive. Great art style and music!

danidre14 2015-12-17 01:33

This rampage is radical!!!

anissen 2015-12-17 10:28

Fantastic game! I absolutely love the mechanic! It's an awesome application of the theme and really well executed in addictive non-stop action. Great job!

01010111 2015-12-18 03:27

All around solid entry! I had a lot of fun with it, I don't think I'm very good, but I managed a score of 35 before being overwhelmed by enemy fire. I'm really in love with the music! Great job!

hegemege 2015-12-18 17:09

Simple fun, kinda addicting too! Spamming left+right alternately seemed quite OP. Well done on music and sound, really liked them!

drludos 2015-12-18 19:19

Excellent gameplay idea, I love it! It's simple but entertaining, and quite challenging without being frustrating. Very good job, congrats! My best score is 41 seconds :p

eingya 2015-12-19 00:25

Nice game! Very interesting core mechanic and great game feel. Would be a bit better if the floor had some diegetic reason for the floor to move forward, maybe a treadmill of something will help.

Well Done!

chubb1337 2015-12-19 11:11

This game feels very nice and smooth, fun to play, but those spikes always get me!

ointment 2015-12-19 12:51

I actually kinda like this a lot. There's a lot of different elements that go together in fairly interesting ways. Well-executed in the gameplay department, and I can say I'm still having fun after quite a few retries.

But let's have a word about visual presentation.

There's something about this style that seems very MS Paint-y as far as pixel art goes. Muddy colors, palette all over the place, shading not having much contrast with the environment. Also moving things kinda-but-not-really snapping to the grid - which I guess can be excused as a stylistic gimmick in games not actually based on old hardware - but in combination with everything else, it just comes across as carelessness.

It's not just about looking pretty, you gotta consider functionality too. Composition-wise, most of the screen is just empty space. And there isn't really any gameplay consequence for everything to be moving like you're on a treadmill, so it's an unnecessary (even misleading) visual cue. Not to talk about how the more urgent threats don't always stand out more.

...Yeah, it's a lot to digest. But I'm not pointing it out to be mean. In fact, I'm hoping you'll find advice like this useful in your future games, so you can give them that extra polish to really complement your already solid design thoughts.

On the plus side, the audio's OK, seems like you have a good sense of what kind of tune fits the mood.

piper82 2015-12-19 21:44

absolutely loved the art and music but gameplay could be more forgiving imo. great entry.

ittaimanero 2015-12-19 21:49

Really nice entry! I like how simple and fun it is to play... congratulations!

bazkur98 2015-12-19 21:53

This is a wonderful concept executed well, very unique.

xgor 2015-12-19 22:05

Great little game. The recoil and shoot action leads to a fun dynamic of jumping back and forward that works great. One thing I wish was that that you could shoot directly after jumping. Minor thing but something think would add a lot.

jackrugile 2015-12-19 22:06

Such an awesome concept, well done!

donar 2015-12-19 22:44

Pretty repetetive, of course, but a pretty great concept for the theme. It gets really hard when there is a spike an two enemies shoot you from both sides but that's fine. If a game is repetetive it should rather be hard than too easy, because if it's too simple it's just boring.

lawendt 2015-12-19 23:47

Damn, the game is pretty intense! Loved everything about it. I guess I can play this for a long time, and even compete with my friends, they'll love this also.
Anyway, keep up with the amazing work!

Ps: got just 41 seconds

gyfis 2015-12-19 23:56

Well done! Nice game, also hard as hell - my personal best (Tomas) is 36, and that's it. The spikes are terrible traps! Way to go!

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-20 00:24

Loved the game! Very hardcore stuff.. loved it!

Congrats!

mrshoestore 2015-12-20 00:25

You're right! Super ADDICTING! I love the animations. They bring so much to the game play. Maybe I didn't play long enough, but a change in scenery a ways through would be really cool. or even collecting things or weapon changes would be awesome.

jdoughty 2015-12-20 00:28

Very Strong main mechanic man! Very good job!

2015-12-20 00:38

Clever mechanic that ties into the theme, nice.

rfdshir 2015-12-20 00:55

Oh yeah, great gemeplay!

split82 2015-12-20 01:24

Great simple game. Awesome job!

lereveur 2015-12-20 01:43

Neat gameplay. I don't really like too much random, but randomly kills and randomly destroy and randomly dead and randomly retry can actually be fun, you proved it ! XD

geti 2015-12-20 03:24

Fun, fiddly controls of course with the button requirement, separate jump button would have made a world of difference haha. Enjoyable.

stevenjmiller 2015-12-20 05:43

Amazing game! Really fun, and the graphics and audio were awesome.

thebrickanator 2015-12-20 06:54

"Awesome!" My cousins words not mine :) I also had a great time playing this game! it was very fun and addicting... well done.

randomhuman 2015-12-20 11:51

Apparently I am below average :( Super fun game though!

ghostbomb 2015-12-20 14:01

Your initial idea seems somewhat similar to mine, just implemented very differently.

The controls are very simple, but there's a lot of tactical depth and consequence to each button press. The enemies and obstacles are varied and do a good job at showing the strength of the core mechanic.

You die often but the game the game gets your right back in shooting without skipping a beat.

Graphics are good, the sound effects are good and the music is very catchy.

Awesome game overall. Very fun.

wdebowicz 2015-12-20 15:38

Best 33. I love the simplicity and how you go from full controls, to control movement by shooting!

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-20 16:10

Great concept! I've seen a lot of these games where you're fighting enemies coming from the left and right, but the way you combined projectile attacking and movement makes it pretty interesting. The obstacles make for a neat addition too. Nice presentation as well. Good work.

seconddimension 2015-12-20 17:14

Wow very cool. My best was 54, is that good? It was very hard but mostly I always felt like failure was my own fault. I think the spikes were the only things that sometimes felt unfair, but dodging the bullets and enemies was really fun and a great interpretation of the theme

shellfishgames 2015-12-20 20:05

Really cool! Love what you did with the theme, and it's not just an interesting idea but also fun and engaging, even if somewhat punishing. Great entry though, I really dig these little "jump in and enjoy" gems. :)

lukezaz 2015-12-22 02:51

Very fun game with very good replayability. Got to 43 seconds on my best try.

big-cow 2015-12-28 11:09

I am glad I got to play your game! Its really innovative. Simple and addictive. The graphics and movement give it a sense of humour. You stuck to the two button theme really well and did a lot with it. Its rock hard so a ramp up in skill would have been appreciated :) Well done!

trasevol_dog 2015-12-31 16:38

Concept is great!! You did a great job of relentlessly throwing lots of stuff on the player!

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-03 21:39

Fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/3B2_gBg5rhI
