Really cool. I love the light effect on the weapon. Great mood to the whole game. I think the difficulty is balanced nicely too cause it is hard but I feel like if I keep trying and learn the patterns I can win. Good job.
@tartlegames Thanks, man! :)
Cool game. The graphics were pretty good along with the controls. It was a little hard, but it was fair.
This game was made with Bonecrusher and Jackass, Bonecrusher did the art and Jackass did both the Music and helped with the art. I did the programming.
Make an web/mac version please :p
Very cool, excellent mechanics, and polished. There's a lot of content here! The enemy respawn when you reenter a room was a bit annoying but everything else was great. Assault rifle was op since you can hit people slightly around corners while they can't hit you.
It took me a while to realize that I could actually walk through those "doorway" things. Otherwise, it was a great game. My only complaint is that some of the enemies are hard to see.
@The Tophat Demo
Thankyou for the contructive critism. :)
This game is seriously bomb. Great jam game man, something I would've loved to have made if I were more competent at graphics. Really dig this.
That was a very entertaining shooter :D i only had time to play through one level but i enjoyed it yo. I feel like it could use some iFrames an a dodge roll, but they may be there an i just never got to them or found the instructions lol. Nice graphics n sound though :D
The Corpse Soldier boss battle is difficult due to the many lackeys he has.
The Light are good!, its funny, have a nice difficult. Good game!
Some of the blue humanoid aliens are hard to see and the final boss takes some skill, but this is an amazing game!!! I loved being a game tester! Great Game!
Reminds me of gungeon, in a good way! The light effect is very nice and the shooting feels great and that is one of the most important things in a game like this.
There is an impressive amount of content in the game, such as the cool boss-fights.
It was quite hard, but that's the point of of these kind of games.
Well done! :)
Nice game, I like difficulty level, fun to play.
Wow, Beat the game and I'm very impressed! Very enjoyable, impressed with all the levels and bosses. Various weapons are lots of fun to find and shoot.
Recommendation is to make the enemies stand out from the background a bit more.
Very high quality shooting game. The graphics is very nice in a jam.
I don't buy your argument for why this fits the theme, but this game is cool enough that I'm willing to disregard that. It was challenging, but I was still able to make it through in one try. The kinetic and laser weapons are way too loud - I was relieved when I got the plasma gun and could finally hear the music. Also, there were areas where I had problems because it was too dark for me to see the enemies. I found the Corpse Soldier to be the hardest fight (though maybe single plasma wasn't the best weapon I could have brought.) The final boss went down relatively easily to the triple plasma. There's an impressive amount of content here.
Pretty sweet entry! The game plays very well and just has a nice feel to it. I don't think it really encapsulates the theme, but I don't think you should really worry about that. Also, I dig the art. :)
Oh! I also appreciate that enemies respawn in rooms after you kill them. Helps with farming if you want to change weapons. Good job.
That was great! Boss music was awesome, nice going Jackass.
I wish either my hitbox was smaller or the enemy bullets were slower, got pretty hard to dodge when fighting in corridors.
Good fast and frantic shooter with screenshake! Well done, nice and polished. Some of those soldiers are really tough to see in the dark.
Great graphics and sound effects. (I especially like the collecting money one.) The lighting is a really neat idea, but at times, but it made some of the enemies barely visible, particularly the smaller blue soldiers. I would have liked to see the enemies more clearly. Other than that, the controls seemed pretty fluid and I liked that a lot. The "one room" theme is a little lost on me, since it does look like those stairs lead to other rooms.

I liked the pixel art and it was fun to play. I really liked how the little runners come out of the shades. The points you collect after you kill seemed like bullets at first, I was trying so hard to avoid those.
I really like the weapon feel and lighting
Nice amount of content here, and pretty neat graphics too. One complaint would be having enemies respawn every time you switch from a room you've cleared; accidentally went through an exit multiple times while backtracking in a fight.
Awesome pixel game, loved the simple combat. The initial boss was great as well! Some of the enemies felt invisible though because of the lighting.
This game is so fun! You have to continue developing this game!
Really good game, has a good "feel" to it and I love the boss fights and the music. I don't think it fits very well with the "one room" theme, but that aside this is an awesome entry.
Fun game. A little challenging, but I was able to get to the end. Reminded me a little of Total Carnage in some ways. I wasn't a fan of having to reclear rooms, but since the health items were multiuse, it made up for it. Felt complete.
I was kind of lost in the beginning, but great game overall, well done!
Enjoyable game! I wish the enemies were easier to see, and there was some music to go with the great sound effects. I wish I wasn't terrible at it too, so I could get further :)
Awesome game!
Fun game! Mechanics were well executed, as well as the level design including well-thought of boss battles. Great job! :)
Favorite moment was the 3rd boss fight - I've played plenty of games where the boss spawns extra enemies, but the laser gun encourages you to line them all up - very cool and clever strategy. Would have preferred if enemies didn't respawn, or only respawned sometimes - made them feel less important to kill.
That was a romp~ The blood, lighting and screen shake made the game feel like I was moving through a beating heart. I like that it reminds me more of a de-made FPS than a top-down arena shooter. I must have had an ace up my sleeve, though, because I annihilated everything, like it was nothing.
Very nice game. I especially liked the feeling of power I had when I upgraded my weapon. Doesn't really fits the theme though.
Very cool game, the best one in the jam I think :)
Really Fun. The pixel art was really nice. You used lighting, screen shake, and particles well. I don't think it did the theme very well. It wasn't extremely difficult, but it felt difficult which I really liked.
yeah come to get some!
Wow, very fun!
Really solid top down shooter gameplay, and a nice grim artstyle that suits the mood of the game. However, I think the gameplay could be improved in a few ways:
- Increase the visibility of the enemies (either by having them much brighter than the background or giving the player a cone of vision where they are bright) as it's super unclear what to aim at atm
- Slow down the bullets to making dodging more rewarding than hiding around corners
- A better variety of weapons would be nice as it gives more choice than just guns with slightly different firing speeds/patterns (it's unclear if they do more or less damage, the HMG seemed to be crazy good compared to the assault rifle for example) and give the player an inventory so you can switch between weapons.
Great game dude, gameplay feels very smooth and well polished. nice style and good content. well done
Fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YiLAPTz00w0
Nice little game! Somewhat lacking in content as a team game sadly, theme used pretty badly.
Lacking in content? Where did you get up to? There is up to ten minutes of content...
Good Game. Was fun to play, but could be more balanced I felt quite weak.
Very fun game and a lot of content for such a short dev period!
Hey it wery wery fun, I liked dynamics and some kind of magazin. But I think if you clear the level monsters should not respawn..
Good job!
Really nice game dude ! good job !
