Really impressive work on the art! my only complaint is the way that game maker has an installer, i'd prefer just downloading a .zip

beamkirby 2015-12-15 23:40

Thanks! Also, because of your comment, I added a .zip download to the game's page.

I'll admit, based on the art style and the genre I was expecting to dislike this game, but you've done solid work here.

The stamina on the shots is a really cool feature that really makes this a relatively unique shmup, and the enemy variety forces you to use both attacks consistently. The timing on new enemy types is pretty great, too.

The only nitpick I can think of is that it's a bit difficult to dodge some of the projectile attacks, since they fly at you faster than you can fall/fly out of the way. But you can see them coming so it's still dodgable. Just difficult.

It's a solid game, great work.

The eye reminds me of terraria. I don't like the art.

Nice game, well done!

Excellent work, I find the mechanics actually work quite well, and make it challenging without being frustrating. Overall, very well done!

Awesome art. Nice work.

I got 6000 points, got to see a glimpse of the boss. This is much better than flappy bird. i also like the attention to detail with the clouds passing. wow i just saw the snake as i type this, lol. good work!

Great game! The gameplay is balanced and the difficulty curve feels just right.

This game is pretty cool! One of the best uses of two-button controls I've seen, both fingers need to be doing something at the same time! Makes it pretty fun to dodge and attack, which also feels rewarding thanks to the awesome art. Some music would be nice, but the sound effects suit the game well enough. Well done!

Is the death sound lifted from Mega Man?

beamkirby 2015-12-17 04:25

Huh. No, the death sound is not taken from Mega Man, but it does kinda sound like it! All of the sounds were generated with sfxr. Anyway, thanks for the comments so far.

Ach, my poor wrist XD

Sweet entry! Managed to get 12420 before getting killed - loved the different enemies and the balancing getting harder over time. SO MANY FIREBALLS! :D Good job! Fit the theme perfectly too.

You concept is very nice and i liked the art ^^

But it reaaally lacked of music in my humbly opinion

carlsommer 2015-12-18 22:55

Good enemies and controls worked well, it was also nice having a couple of different attacks available.

yvanor 2015-12-18 22:56

Very fun game, I like cut enemies in slices ! The game is well-balanced: at the start easy, but become harder with the time. Well done guys ! ^^

nirabazgames 2015-12-18 23:09

Funny characters) Nice work.

shivur 2015-12-22 04:43

Very fun game!

joror 2015-12-24 00:44

Not a fan of these types of games, but this one felt solid in controls and curve (altho I did not live long) and had an interesting theme. :)

Really fun game. Doing two things (instead of just staying afloat like in Angry Birds) is challenging and very entertaining.
