Really fun. Liked it a lot!

FANTASTIC interpretation of the theme. It's so gross!

2016-04-19 09:29

Love it! aweeeeesome! music feels like early sega genesis -art is really good -love the hud in the upper left corner -so much good art and animation here. More carnage than total carnage!

Really great pixel art in this one!

Definitely would've benefited from some balancing though. The initial form felt really underpowered, but as soon as you got an upgrade you could pretty much just breeze through the rest of the game up to the boss, at which point it became really challenging again.

awesome game. cool gross art and a tun of fun. great interpretation of the theme

Great game. The progression is very satsfying

Love the pixel art, great take on the theme.

Very cool, reminds me of Pocky and Rocky co-op game on SNES. A bit too hard at the beginning, hitboxes could've been a bit more forgiving.

chummywinds 2016-04-22 23:04

Awesome. Such fun to play. Love the transformations of the player and the combat was just enough toughness + absolute chaos :P great game!!!

joozey 2016-04-22 23:06

Fantastic game. Very well done. Music, graphics, atmosphere, concept is great.

powerspark 2016-04-22 23:08

Amazing work... great graphics and music! The boss was much more challenging from the fights before, however.

aaranos 2016-04-22 23:13

Amazing, really reminds me of something you'd play on the super nintendo. Gameplay was pretty great too.

blob 2016-04-22 23:15

Holy shmolly, art, monster design and animations are so freaking amazing. Make this a full game please.
So good how the music changes based on the transformation, very empowering. 5/5
Also reminded me a bit of pocky and rocky, one of my fave snes games, but with a grim twist. :)

Great art and really fun gameplay (i suck at it though!)

dat_not_my_game 2016-04-24 13:20

Beautiful graphics and music. And gameplay. And pretty much everything.

fbjazz 2016-04-24 18:27

Super fun. The graphics were fantastic. I had a great time. Excellent work.

gurkenlabs 2016-04-25 10:17

nice art! but I think only being able to shoot in straight directions made the game a little harder than neccessary.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I love the graphics style and PC classic gaming midi soundtrack. Awesome entry with lots of personality. Difficulty is quite brutal, so I couldn't finish the boss. A health bar would have been nice.

Personally I would have preferred a different control scheme for keyboard (arrows and x/z for instance), other than that it's awesome!

gfm 2016-04-30 02:06

Great game!

Audio and graphics are pretty rad! ;)
Also, the song kinda reminded me of the Sega Genesis' synthesizer... don't know, just felt like songs from that console.

I think that this game could have used automatic shooting, instead of having to mash the button. Shooting doesn't make you slower/stops you, so there's no real reason to stop shooting (though you are forced to stop when dashing). So, why not allow the player to just hold shoot all the time?

stevesalmond 2016-04-30 03:37

Badassssss!!! So great how the music amps up as you reach each new form, I found my self concentrating really hard not to lose the badass guitar riff haha. I kinda liked that it didn't have checkpoints, although I lost on the final boss and couldn't be bothered going all the way back in order to defeat him. The blood splats were awesome :D

lereveur 2016-04-30 15:46

Ah, that's a good game ! Design is great, gameplay is fun, and... Oh, all that blood... :D

gnerkus 2016-04-30 16:49

The initial form was a bit difficult to use at first.

I wish the power-ups were like organs: get a heart to increase your health or get skin to increase armor.

Is this game copyrighted? No? I'll be right back!

paquinn 2016-04-30 20:06

Really good art, satisfying explosions.

pirate_shell 2016-04-30 20:40

This was a neat little game. The graphics were very well made and so was the music - really reminded me of a SEGA Genesis/Megadrive game, which tickled my fancy. The gameplay was also quite reminisent of those types of games as well. I enjoyed it, as difficult as it was. I do have some slight issues with it, however. Mostly the controls could have been better. Either making it a mouse shooter/WASD shooter or maybe mapping the layouts a bit differently(both letting the player use the analog on the controller as well as using something else than space to shoot) would have made it more responsive and fun. Other than that, very solid entry!

medidog 2016-05-02 04:05

Nice take on the theme. I wish there was no permadeath though...

rock-eaters 2016-05-04 00:30

really awesome pixels art and responsive,music is dope too , it's surprising we had many similar ideas :) great work !

louspirit 2016-05-06 09:16

Very enjoyable game to play! The dash feature is a good point :)

pixelpotions 2016-05-06 13:42

Awesome! Great fun and fantastic graphics! :D

matmortatti 2016-05-07 23:58

Wow! Really good game.

I loved the art style and the overall power-up mechanics. Made me feel like a badass after some time, but the enemies lived up for the challenge.

The only grip I have is with the automatic aim. It would be really appreciated if the aim and movement were independent, like in the Binding of Isaac (or any other twin-stick shooter).

Very well-made entry, congratulations!

fin_nolimit 2016-05-08 00:27

Okay, wow, how has it taken me nearly three weeks to find this gem!!! Fantastic game!!! I love the shapeshift concept where you get more powers and only lose those powers when you get hit (kind of like Mario lol) Again, EXCELLENT JOB!

ddrkirbyisq 2016-05-08 02:17

Normalize your audio next time -- had to turn my speakers wayyyy up! =P

thecain 2016-05-08 04:44

Really great entry. You really captured the feel of the old arcade run and gun.
The only thing I didn't like was that after dying, you had to restart from the beginning, and then it was a toss up if you would find lumps or not.

01010111 2016-05-09 20:26

super cool! I loved the graphics, the colors felt especially squishy :D

Awesome job as usual!

yann 2016-05-09 22:10

Heh, I tried it when I saw it on facebook but forgot to vote :D
Nice one though I couldn't finish it =)

axoona 2016-05-09 22:20

great music and graphics!
the shoot and move controls make it quite challenging though
