Very polished and fun to play. The only complaint would be the lack of any indication whether I actually was damaging the boss. I just magicked him for a minute or so and he suddenly died.

GREAT! Super fun, boss was a little hard and repetitive. good music. I Really enjoyed this game :)

Anyway you can post the source code?

fartenko 2016-04-18 22:49

Thanks jolly! I will fix this as soon as possible!

Thank you brandann! I will, but first I want to clean it up, beacause it's all hard coded stuff, especially the boss part that was programmed in the last hours of day 3.

This is really cool. If anything, all I saw it was lacking was a visual indicator when you got hurt.

Love it! The graphics are great, especially the cute beasties the enemies get turned into. Great fun to play.
I don't know whether you meant it to let you leave a room before you'd killed everything, you can basically run straight through from the start to the boss - unless that was intentional, maybe you could add something to stop you leaving a room until you've wiped out all the waves of enemies.
Overall, excellent :)

Thanks for this game, it gave me a good laugh. Nice titan boss and presentation. Cool!

omg I love it! Really really fun! Amazing pixel art and mechanics. Juiciness was amazing. I really want to do right now a game like this, whith that way to spawn enemies! Cooooool!
The only trouble I had was spawning projectiles near a wall or a bush, they always get destroyed just on instanciate.
Good job!!

Really awesome entry, polished indeed :)
The only problem I had was that I kept hitting the walls when being to close and trying to shoot in the other direction.
Apart from that, fun game.
Great job!

I enjoyed this a lot, the art looks great and it was a fun idea to turn the monsters into little creatures

Very cool. Only thing I'd change, is if you're close to a wall and shoot away from the wall, prevent the bullet from hitting the wall.

Funny, short, and well-polished. I beat the game first try, with a grand total of two health left. If you expand it, consider adding a health regen mechanic of some kind!

My only complaint was the fact that it could get a little...distracting, after finishing a wave, with so many passive creatures on-screen at once. Nearly died like that.

Nicely done and animated low res graphics. Fun to play. The controls work well. Congrats!
