Wow, incredible! Keep it up! :P

My favourite technique was to fly high, then dive-bomb the bastards with a rain of death. Fun game, I'd like to see it taken forward!

Pretty good, the audio got a little glitchy but pretty fun.

Really please when I found out I could skid on the water! Nice work.

Love the water skidding effect.

I was very amused! Awesome job.

It is exactly what it said it was.

Pretty funny voice acting you got there :P too bad you didn't have a lot of time to work on this... I could see it going places.
Even so, I think you could have written a small "endless" enemy generator after the boss that gets gradually harder.
Nice entry!

The voice overs of this game really add to it!

Wow, great work. Incredible XD I like the motivation!

Great! Will play again for the lines I couldn't hear (4am here).
Also, I had to finish the game because I kept left button pressed to see what happened. Turns out the player object turned into 5 smaller objects aligned on the center of the play area and the browser froze.
No big deal, just so you know.

So, killed the boss and nth happened :) Neat idea, some bugs (first time I've died couldn't shoot anymore, had to refresh) but in general nice job!

fanttum 2015-12-14 07:34

Glad y'all are enjoying it so far.
And yea nothing happens at the end, haha I ran out of time.
Also the biggest bug I found that I have no idea why is happening, is very rarely when you start the main level you will get all the power ups and other weird things will spaz out, and unless you shut it down quick enough might freeze your browser, haha very sorry if this happens to you.

I thought the control style was a lot of fun. Nice water effects.

Lol!! Loved the audio...
Amusing gameplay! had fun!!

In 10 hours your game is almost better than my 48 game. Good job!

drtizzle 2015-12-15 12:43

Neat concept. Really like the super dry voice-over haha.
It would be nice to be able to fly a bit higher, I really felt constrained in my movement. Next time use the full 48 hours, and it will be amazing!

This game should get the reward for 'The Best Voice Actor In The Universe And Maybe Beyond Because Why Not So Let's Give Him This' (TBVAITUAMBBWNSLGHT reward)
But on a more seroius note, it is hard to hit anything. And I think this is the only complaint I have. So, great job!

I love the voice over at the beginning. Very comical.

vicious_br 2015-12-17 01:41

Fun game, love the tutorial.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629

Interesting way of implementing the two-button control in a way that really only needed one button. I like that. Fun little play-through.

local-minimum 2015-12-18 13:36

Oh also, forgot to say that our game now has a Mac-version...

zanzlanz 2016-01-02 22:59

Haha, your voice acting was the best part xD

Great job making something with what little time you had.

I imagine it as though the pilot has no idea what they're doing, so when they start falling they freak out and press everything they can - hence one button to do everything.
