Brutal difficulty, nice execution.

Some notes:
Had to restart the game once to see the controls :)
Bit weird you can walk out of the screen.
Maybe another enemy type that does close range damage and make the others inert so you can touch them without dying.

Got this error one time:

Nice game, reminds me of the old smash tv.

Wow great graphic and really tight controls (I love the screen shake effect). An overall excellent entry, I would just say it doesn't fit the theme that well.

srakowski 2016-04-18 02:28

Great game, love the audio/sounds effects and the overall look/feel. Well done!

broken-matrix 2016-04-18 02:29

Too hard

spacewarp 2016-04-18 02:30

It took me more time than I'd like to admit to figure out the controls. But then I was clicking in time with the music and having fun :)

swellbastion 2016-04-18 02:32

I love this! I can never master the "get right into the action part" like this does

atollett100 2016-04-18 02:34

Nice game, doesn't fit the theme

greymouth 2016-04-18 02:34

Love rogue style games! Great job!

dooskington 2016-04-18 02:34

Nice execution, I liked how responsive it felt.

asturk 2016-04-18 02:37

I really enjoy the game! And the music is very well done too, in a way that, in some moments, i was shooting with the guy with two pistols following the beat of the music!

I just think you should try to limit (or give a cooldown) the number of times the player can do these jumps with right mouse button, in order to give some more balance to the game! =]

Great game, music and graphics. Feels really good to play. Doesn't fit the theme that well though, and dumping the bodies is a bit awkward because it requires going to the far edges of the screen to be able to shoot them back.

candlesan 2016-04-18 02:49

Loved the implementation of different weapons. Screen shake was effectively used too :)

darksshades 2016-04-18 02:58

Nice and fun.

vini60 2016-04-18 02:59

Flowy game, simple graphics.
I loved how you can hit the bullets back with your bat.
Hotline miami style music is amazing.
Great work.

vividredemption 2016-04-18 03:02

Really fun, amazing job for your first game and Ludum Dare! The screen shake was a little much for me sometimes (particularly with melee weapons) The concept is pretty cool, and I enjoyed playing it!

tauntbuttered 2016-04-18 03:14

It's like a Tamagotchi gang war, single screen arcade shooter, decent little game. One issue, hold right and you can walk off screen infinitely and never die.

manabreak 2016-04-18 03:26

The most enjoyable game so far! I really like the execution, and congrats on your first ever LD!

crare 2016-04-18 06:34

Awesome! I like how you implemented theme. I first wasn't sure what it was, but once I got far enough I realised what it was. It's hard! gives nice challenge! :D love it! good sounds! My only advice is less screenshake and it's golden!

tharky 2016-04-18 15:43

Unbelievably fun. The beat was so catchy and the game was so fun, I wasted half an hour with this :D Goob job man! Way too many screen shakes though, my eyes hurt now.

corinator 2016-04-19 20:31

Gameplay feels great, and I like the different beat styles for the different forms. Great work!

hempuli 2016-04-19 21:04

Pretty nice! It took me some telling to get the idea wasn't to just shoot enemies, and once I did I had hard time dumping any bodies. Nonetheless, the gameplay was fun! Also it was fun using the weapons in rhythm with the music.

johnnysix 2016-04-19 22:25

Fun game, lack of a big cross-hair had me bugging out sometimes when trying to fine the windows cursor. :)

teamross 2016-04-19 22:59

The art and gameplay are really good.
I saw the developing post that you posted a few days ago and I was looking for the game to try it.
It fit in the style of games that i would play a lot.
Great job, and nice entry!:)

titangea 2016-04-20 00:23

Really difficult, but really fun too, nice, I like the visuals, the music help to show this shapes like a badass xD

khaos_fang 2016-04-20 03:28

Nice game. Gameplay is plain and exciting.

patomkin 2016-04-20 14:14

Sonic gun is overpowered, both in killing and dumping :D
Good game, had fun.

glaze_96 2016-04-22 06:07

This game is awesome! The ONLY problem I have with it, is that it seems to lack a difficulty curve, or if there is one, it's too smooth.

You did a great job polishing the game. The controls are really responsive too. The effects (like the shaking and the dead bodies) really add to the games graphics.

Super awesome for being your first entry! You seem like a natural LDer!

Hope you had a fun LD experience and I hope to see you for the next compo =)

fabraz 2016-04-22 15:02

Like a different take on Super Crate Box, character art reminds me of it too! Fun.

josemorval 2016-04-23 23:41

Really nice but a bit difficult! Good job guys!

thecain 2016-05-06 04:29

Pretty good. pretty fun

rscar 2016-05-09 00:26

Really enjoyed it, excellent first LD entry, congratulations! :D I get the feeling that you're a Vlambeer fan, and that's definitely not a bad thing

tth2x 2016-05-09 03:18

Great work! very solid!
at first , i just cared about that the camera shake so frequently,may be could i fell not good.
but when i real play it for some times... i feel that you controll the rhythm very great!(not only mean the camera's shake also the hole rhythm with the sound and fighting feeling )
Drums of passion~! and the bounce bullet really nice! also i feel the shooter man is so dangerous! (so many times i could not bounce the bullet in front of the gun! although it let me die, but i feel this design is really nice, and also enhence the useful of the right-mousekey)
otherwise,the doublegun mode shoot is smooth, high frequntly, but if it have more direclty hit effect(just like when i was be hit) this game may could be more wonderful and great! btw, the third mode(with a big gun!) is so unique ,i realized that you built a important diversity between them~ well done! Surprise make

insality 2016-05-09 06:50

wow! very exelent action game
got suprised, how game can be simple and wonderful!

cerno_b 2016-05-09 19:17

Really tough but well-made entry. I love the triangle guy although I got the best dumping results with the shockwave dude. Couldn't make it past 6 dumps though.

I found it funny how rapid firing can kind of create a counter point to the music's beat.
