man. i really loved this! I will save to play again later.
I think if you are planning to continue this game you should do this:
When you die, dont reset the music
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD34 → Super Scoot and the House of Ill Repute

I love it, it's funny and fun! You have my vote!
Awww nice game ! I love the artwork, retro and small sprites. And the gameplay is really good, a pretty nice use of the theme. It feel like an early 90's pc game. Great job :)
Nicely done. I suck at this and can't really get past the first level, but overall the execution is nice.
Great name and fun game! :0)
This is the first game which I liked in this jam.
Good dude, and you have the right tools. Good luck in the contest!
A really cute game, got a bit frustrated because I couldn't get any further than halfway the first level. But fun overall.
Cute music/sfx. I'm terrible at the game tho haha. I think it's because the jump and shoot keys felt reversed to me
Wow this is really brutal. Nicely executed but so so so hard! More checkpoints & a gentler ramp up of difficulty would help here.
Great game! Controls were very tight. There were a few times where the hitboxes didn't make sense. I died coming down on the corner of a box and once when I jumped clean over a monster. It was very fun and I could see myself playing it again.
Really difficult game but I couldn't help but try over and over again. Really simple but great polish and a lot of fun. Sounds and visuals blended really well. Well done.
Thanks a bunch you guys! We'll take the criticisms into consideration for the next version :) but i doubt the difficulty will be going down, maybe a gentler difficulty curve =P
Fun game, kept me playing for a while even though I sucked at it :)
Catchy tune that didn't get old. Nice minimalist graphics.
I'm going to beat this game, I will. Just not now... haven't broke past the first level, 8420 points though. I'd say the difficulty is what makes it fun, and I appreciate the little details in the level design that make it difficult. Majority of the errors, was my own fault, and I like that.
gg
Cool interpretation of the theme. Did you make the soundtrack yourself?
@DinnerInTheDark Thanks! We did, it was a lot of fun :)
It is chanllenging! And good sound effects, The main title can be do better
Liked your monsters. Didn't finish first level.
Really love the thematic consistency of your entry! Everything, from the concept, to audio and graphics melded perfectly. Although the dragon kinda stuck out in a weird way, since it had a richer palette and more details. I personally think that it would have made more sense to keep him as minimalistic as the rest of the assets.
Fun and well balanced (and gorgeous too!). Good job!
@Crashmore Studios Thanks! Maybe we should change her, but I kind of like how creepy/awkward the dragon looks =P You're right though, consistency with the resolution of the sprites is important in games that involve pixel art. Your game was super fun!
Whoa! Really great entry, albeit a bit tough. Awesome job picking a good clean design with a very appropriate scope.
This is so fun but I dunno maybe impossible. Would love to see level 2 but am not worthy... yet. I pity your beta testers.
This game was surprisingly fun for how simple it is! Only problem is, it's very hard! I think instead of starting the level over when you die, it might be better to start again where died. Audio was very nice, and the graphics (as tiny as they were) got the job done. Great work!
This is super challenging, but all in all a well put-together package. Good job!
great mate!
I love retro style! It's so hard. Very well done!
Loved the old school theme. Do yourself an adaptation to modern games: Save Points and infinite lifes. Lifes in games were made to make people spend cash in arcade. Times changed.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
@nunesbarbosa Thanks for your input! At this current time we felt that the game was short enough to make save points unnecessary. We'll probably add them in the future if we have more levels. The lives system was mainly implemented to make the coins more useful, giving you a life after 50. I think that they are appropriate in this game, as it creates the challenge of having the player finish all three levels with a limited number of deaths they can take. Similar to the lives in games like Super Mario Bros, allowing the player to optimize their gameplay strategy, giving a more satisfying feel of accomplishment when they finally reach the end. We still have plans for improvement in the next version that will make the game feel a little more fair. =P
Frustratingly difficult but so fun it's totally okay. Solid on gameplay and graphics, although music got a bit jarring eventually (too short of a loop) and I'd like to be able to go full screen or at least up the display resolution.
Wow! Great Idea! Boy it's hard! Well done!
Neat game, I liked how you can see the whole map. Was a little confused at first because I didn't know where I was, so just looked around for a dead guy :P Good job.
Funny thing, but too hardcore for me, only got to third row, where orange creature shot me down :-) Nice idea anyway! I also hope you won't do an installer next time...
OMG so hard. Fun and addictive though.
This game felt like MSX games but with a larger viewport. It is old-school in many ways and the graphics and music really evoke that era. The unforgiving gameplay does too though and it reminds us why we no longer make games this way :)
As an homage though, this is quite excellently done.
