It still says "This game is still In Development and is not currently playable."

reisen 2016-04-19 02:21

The area you start off has the worst experience, because you can't even see your own projectiles, and there's no way to know that your projectiles are short-ranged.

It gets better as it gets greener.

gurkenlabs 2016-04-19 02:32

After I found out how to play it, I found the game really cool.

hyoga-3d 2016-04-20 13:39

Very nice game, In my opinion I just need to be a little faster.

thomas-yau 2016-04-27 23:51

I like the art and music! Gameplay wise, I enjoyed it for the most part, I think that being able to shoot sideways would have helped though, for enemies that were sitting on/near the bottom of the screen.

bazkur98 2016-04-27 23:59

I had a lot of fun with this. Only thing I didn't like was the sound when it was game over. Some sort of static sound? not sure if that was intended or a bug but it was pretty loud. Overall though, once I figured out I wasn't suppose to be shooting the peasants that were running toward me I had a good time :)

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 00:15

it's my first html build and the gameover bug is not on the windows build. It must something with the compression. the original wav files are in 16 and 24 bits,i think i've to digg this way. Thanks a lot for all your comments it's very usefull :) It's our first ludum dare and it's a real pleasure to take part to this event. Best jam organisation and community that i've seen for the moment :)

powerspark 2016-04-28 00:33

Pretty fun, but I think some of your links are broken.

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 00:56

ok gameover sound bug fixed :) but now i've problem to import only the game here and not all the itchio page...

the-potato-boss 2016-04-28 02:43

This game is awesome bro! I love the idea and the art style is really awesome :)

fabraz 2016-04-28 03:26

Good on you for implementing a story as well! Fun stuff!

guoboism 2016-04-28 10:12

Really nice game! Enjoyed while playing!

godsboss 2016-04-28 11:57

Pretty cool.

pinkindian 2016-04-28 12:37

Very nice game. I loved the graphics and especially the small details like the drifting shadows of clouds.

pogo 2016-04-28 23:09

I couldn't get the web versions to work, so downloaded the .exe. I like the idea of an uncontrollable berserk mode, with more power and near invulnerable. It was a nice contrast to the vulnerable short range samurai. I feel like the camera should have moved a little faster with the player, though.

dcolgan 2016-04-28 23:33

This game is great and I love it. All the things that there is nor reason for and is just nonsense- super. I totally dig that and the weird transformation is fun. Why can you shoot three bullets sometime and sometimes only one? I don't know, I don't care. The learning cure works too.

quexd 2016-04-29 00:15

Great art and game. While playing I lost a bunch of lives right before the bridge.

kzdev 2016-04-29 01:09

Awesome! Got 18500 on my second run :) There's a great balance between being challenging without being frustrating. Very nice music and graphics as well. 5/5, one of the funnest games I've played during this jam.

rjhelms 2016-04-29 03:37

This is really slick - great job!

aidanmarkham 2016-04-29 04:44

Having the game reset button next to the shoot button proved to be an interesting design choice. The graphics were nice, and the gameplay was decent. I would like my projectiles to be longer range.

exolun 2016-04-29 05:55

A really enjoyable game with well rounded graphics, audio and gameplay. There wasn't a lot of depth in general, but it was pretty fun. Definitely one of the better entries.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-29 06:34

Really cool music and setting. The level graphics are solid, and the characters are really small but have personality.
The gameplay could be improved if you could attack in more directions, and the camera could move faster (or at least follow your character better).
Solid work!

psychomonster 2016-04-29 09:28

The pixel artwork is really one of the best so far... Good game so far too... Should feel a little more dynamic and some gameplay elements should be more polished (shooting)... Good job... really funny one!

terryg 2016-04-29 11:03

Very nice entry. I loved the art and animation. Shadows even from clouds. Wow. Just wow. I loved playing it. Good job.

terryg 2016-04-29 11:06

and 16,400

xanjos 2016-04-29 17:20

Managed to score 55700 in the original Windows version (The web version is sort of unplayable since the arrow keys end up scrolling the page). Anyway, the art style was very nice and I like the concept a lot (especially the transforming mechanic).

anaglyphcoding 2016-04-29 20:30

I was really impressed by the graphics and the awesome music really added to the theme. This is kind of a dumb complaint, but the web browser window I was using kept scrolling the page up when I used the up arrow as well as moving the character so the game was hard to play. Also, it took me a while to get used to the fact that the D key
restarts the game and I kept restarting by mistake, but I guess that's more my fault. Anyway, awesome graphics, great audio and a fitting mood. I would have to say I expected more from 30 years into the future, but I think this is a great entry nonetheless.
Good luck!

santiandrade 2016-04-29 20:44

I like the music and FX... and the graphics are good. Good work!

plko 2016-04-29 20:49

Cleared :P
Great game.

coborax 2016-04-29 22:45

I couln't start the game?!

ragnta 2016-04-29 22:57

Nice game, but a little bit slow :(

aaranos 2016-04-30 20:47

Original game doesn't start for me. Stays on menu screen and doesn't move past it.

teampoops 2016-05-01 04:56

Lots of very impressive elements! Love the title screen and backstory!

mintarcade 2016-05-01 09:09

Music and FX are spot on! Arrow keys in embedded browser windows tends to drag web page, like 100% of other games, that uses arrow keys, do.
Other than that game is awesome, story is in place. Nice!

tselmek 2016-05-01 09:55

Really nice arcade game! I beat the highscore but it was a bit frustating because I died being stuck in a platform. One of my main complaints would be the camera movement which could be improved so that wa can see more ahead than behind. I like that you used the werewolf theme in a japanese samurai setting. Nice graphics and audio as well.

Here's a screenshot of my 63500 score https://gyazo.com/d5b2f2c4dac428cbf7e98659575e2e4f

fanatrick 2016-05-01 12:39

Holy pixel art :O

matmortatti 2016-05-01 15:46

Great game!

Polished, well-realised, engaging gameplay, cool art and sound effects.

Would love to see more of it :)

3rdchance 2016-05-01 16:51

The idea is nice and the graphics are awesome!
It is a bit hard to play sometimes. The get killed easy after you are "reborn"

megalukes 2016-05-01 20:20

I loved this one. Great work, I had a lot of fun.

shapemorph 2016-05-01 22:15

Nice Music!!

persimonn-pomelo 2016-05-02 00:52

Love the look and feel. Fun game, but got a little frustrated with the scrolling, took a while for the camera to catch up with movement. 4 or 8 directional shooting ALA Commando would be nice. Great work!

jefepapaya 2016-05-02 01:52

My score was 32700.

Awesome work. Kudos.

fin_nolimit 2016-05-02 02:03

HUGE WORLD for a 72 hour game!! Fantastic job!!! I could not even get close to the highscore but that was addicting and FUN!!!

tommyboys0107 2016-05-02 02:44

Score: 77650

This is fun entry!
I think faster tempo and camera following will be better.
Audio and graphics are awesome!
Nice work!

aflatminerstudios 2016-05-02 05:03

Wow, nice. Managed to get to 21850 pts before I got stuck in the river next to a bridge.

skaz 2016-05-02 14:22

A really great entry. Pixel art is excellent, gameplay fun, sound is great. What more to ask?

21700.

I must have killed as much villager as I freed, I kept killing those poor bastard while destroying cages :p

pixelpotions 2016-05-02 18:51

Nice game!
I kinda missed the directional attack, but is just a question of get used to it.
The graphics and audio are unquestionably awesome, and the mood also!
Fantastic work for such a small time!

maekeruu 2016-05-03 01:24

23300 :))
real nice entry... the fun stuff is in it, and the art and audio is realy good! :)) good job
kinda lacks depth but u have a nice stuff to work on to xDD

emmelineprufrock 2016-05-03 02:58

Really interesting. I love the art work and the amount of work that is in this game already, just from the jam. It feels like a polished and finished game.

onlyslightly 2016-05-03 02:59

Very polished solid complete feeling game. Loved the aesthetic, music, art style etc. I love how the game felt like it was progressing towards something. The levels were actually varied and it felt like a real lived in space, complete with details like screaming villagers escaping. And going from sand to jungle. Thank you so much for making this! Great job!

linver 2016-05-03 08:26

Really cool game with all parts! Wow!
Dut you can improve a bit gameplay with:
[*] procedural levels - to improve replayability and surprises!
[*] bonuses - extra life\ instant transform.. or you can add life after X score points, like a Sonic - it's really good idea
[*] em.. you can fix river coasts.. sometimes I stucked into it :(

anaguilefdez 2016-05-03 11:07

Game is cool, would be nice if you could shoot left and right, but I understand it is because of the references. It is funny, and art is very neat, nice entry

big-cow 2016-05-03 16:31

Great use of theme, fun gameplay, lovely graphics and sound.

in3orn 2016-05-03 16:36

Very nice game. I would only speed up the transformation time. It's pretty frustrating when you could take down three or four kamikaze, but at this moment you must switch back to your previous form.

Here's my best score 48300:

omlette-du-fromage 2016-05-04 08:39

Quite a nice game, i like the pixel art. Maybe some zoomed details with the enemies on the cards at the end and the character might help the immersion in the story. I didn't found, maybe there are, but some collectibles would improve: coins, food, weapons, whatever else that can improve the game. Good luck!

neondx 2016-05-04 09:19

beautifull graphisms, but gameplay lacks turning

mrmordem 2016-05-04 09:56

A solid entry, graphics and sound are amazing, gameplay is tight, but there are some things a bit hard to dodge, and it's kind of weird that when you destry the cages to free the civilians, other than that its a good game ^^

yetikatt 2016-05-04 15:43

Very nice game. Loved the graphical style.

tomlum 2016-05-04 19:48

Fantastic! The art and animation was stellar and the gameplay was snappy.

kzdev 2016-05-04 21:32

Well, it's not exactly the top score, but I hope this is enough to keep me from falling off the list at least XD http://imgur.com/XHtw2EO

larzan 2016-05-04 21:38

Beautiful and very entertaining :)

yumeito 2016-05-05 00:05

Cool Game :)

louspirit 2016-05-05 10:24

World and animation graphics and very well done. I like the scenario and that kind of gameplay.

matiasbontempo 2016-05-05 19:10

Excellent art!

thecain 2016-05-06 03:28

It was an okay game, not exactly to my tastes, but still good.
I kept accidentally hitting the restart button.

tmpxyz 2016-05-06 05:56

interesting game

romandtom 2016-05-06 13:45

Very fun game, I liked the concept and the graphics are great nice work. 6/10

glaze_96 2016-05-06 14:41

Really nice work on the level design and graphics!
Nice game, had me hooked a while.

lereveur 2016-05-06 14:41

I really like the mood of this game, it reminds me a lot of old good games. :)

kad 2016-05-06 23:12

Nice arcade game :)

sabina-lis 2016-05-07 16:17

Nice game, really complete, congrats!

radmars 2016-05-07 20:34

Nice, our games really are similar :D Awesome graphics and music and it's really fun. I think my only complaints are that the vertical scrolling doesn't move with you enough and some enemies are just too inconvenient to kill (since you can only shoot up), like if they're behind an obstacle. Still the gameplay is solid. You should totally add a dodge roll :P Awesome work!

methylenblub 2016-05-07 23:09

wow, it's an amazing game! good job

jaenis 2016-05-08 15:00

Great game! Extra props for the cool story!

jangobrick 2016-05-08 17:20

What an amazing game. Maybe the best I've played up until now. Simple but very fun gameplay, and the graphics are *so* good.

radmccool 2016-05-08 18:40

really digging the pixel art here. It still feels like a game jam game but could be something cool in the future.

geekguy100 2016-05-09 01:11

Really cool! Nice job!

bradur 2016-05-09 05:39

Wow, what a cool entry! The game plays very well and the animations & sound and music are great! Good job! I always accidentally kill the villagers I am saving from the prisons :D.

drillerdev 2016-05-09 18:34

Pretty crazy. Nice old school vibe

ocarson 2016-05-09 19:30

Really like the visuals in this,the game was quite comical in a slicey way too.

cerno_b 2016-05-09 19:43

Terrific effort. The graphics are gorgeous, as is the animation. The visual design overall is super smooth and fast paced to perfection. The music accompanies this splendidly and sets a good fast beat that matches the frantic shooting going on everywhere.

Unfortunately for me, the gameplay does not quite catch up. The screen scrolls too slowly compared to the player speed and the limited range takes a lot of otherwise fast paced fun out of the game. I feel that either shooting upwards full screen or hacking in four directions with limited range would have worked better. Rescuing villagers does not really seem to have that much of an impact.

Don't get me wrong, I totally love this game, but in cases like these where I see a lot of potential for making it even greater, I tend to nitpick a lot which may sound like I have a low opinion of your results. Quite the contrary!

Overall I think you can be proud of your achievement. I could totally see an extended version of this with more in-game story and more variety on Steam in the future.

unlikelyrogue 2016-05-09 23:08

Very solid entry! A nice twist on old school shoot em ups, and the graphics were quite charming. Good work.

dollarone 2016-05-10 00:05

Fantastic entry! The music is great and fits and build the mood. The enemies are varied and interesting. The shapeshifting almost seems unnecessary but gives you some badly needed sustain. Graphics is nice and controls are good, even tho I sometimes got slightly stuck in the trees.

Love the post-apoc theme! Will come back and find/kill the green boss later!

I think I got 24300 points on my best run!
