Love it!

I like the music, and the gloomy graphics.

It feels like the collision detection with the bullets is a little permissive, like if I can tell that the bullet didn't hit but It count's as a hit. Not that it matters though.

Title screen reminds me of zombies ate my neighbors

Runs great too!

Here's my highscore :P

Really solid game that has a polished feel, nice replayability with beating highscores - did get some kind of infinite spawning thing a bit in on one try. Love the graphics and nice effect with the paralax clouds, fits quite well with theme also!

Nice old school shooter that feels a little bit of 8bit Satans Hollow meets Sega Genesis graphics! Fun to play and well executed.

Great gameplay and polish. The graphics and UI layout are nice too -- I especially liked the moving clouds, hud, and the intro fonts.

Wonderful art and music! The pixels bleed character.

Gameplay wise I found it quickly becomes unfair (as in, reaching the limits of your move speed) which ruins it for me. Mouse input might have been more to my taste, but there are still some optimization strategies around re-centering. I would have liked to see something done with the "Money" you earn, as it seems to just be a fancy score indicator currently.

I really like the graphic and the concept of the game of this game! But in the beginning I was confused about the controls. Also as mentioned by @FireSlash I really wish you implemented a way to make use of money system. Like a shop or power-ups? Music was spooky and fit well with the scenery. Overall a very solid and good game.

Great game! The gameplay is simple and fun, graphics look impressive and the audio really fits the vibe as well it's dark and gloomy. Would've loved to see some more variations of enemies like some that do zig-zags maybe, and an upgrade system to spend all that money. But I may be reaching 72 hours is a short time and you guys did a great job making this game, really enjoyed playing it!

**+**I hate when planetary vampires invade my planet. **+**Graphics and Sound are well done, the fog of war looks neat!

**-**When losing, the "game over" screen is reloaded (along with the "game over, man!"-sound) for each remaining planetary vampire that hits you. (Web version in firefox) **-**Also, I found my projectiles to become too small too fast so I couldn't really estimate my distance shots well.

Great job!

Loved it. Its simple, controls work great and very fun to play. Got 8800 on my first try! The pixelated graphics are very VERY well made giving the game an overall polished look you don't usually find that often in Ludum Dare games. Good Job!

Fun, very cohesive feeling game. I liked the sound feedback, especially on the weapon firing, and the "blood" effect on enemy death was a nice touch. A few comments 1) I also experienced the repeated "Game Over Man!" sound effect several times (Google Chrome). 2) The collision detection was quite wonky, and several times the projectiles would skip over the faster skull enemy and hit a slower ship enemy behind it; sometimes this could lead to forced damage. 3) I also dislike that it eventually leads to spawn rates faster than your turn and fire rates, and would have preferred something else, perhaps a few levels with increasing spawn rates-- I love beating games! Very good job for the time frame though!

Very retro feeling, reminiscent of the snes era. Had a blast :D

Nice game! The first thing I saw was the recoil of weapons. Many people forget about it, but it greatly improves the picture. 8-bit graphics and music are create an atmosphere. I tried to reach the boss, but after 15000 points begins hell))) Unequivocally it's very good game. I like it

jasperarmstrong 2017-05-04 22:06

Very cool game. I got 9350. I think a bigger variety of enemy types would be nice.

rixud 2017-05-05 07:17

that was FUN! my only comment is (i think) a kind of bug, when you "die" the remains enemies on screen keep hurting you, i think respawn stops but the enemies already spawned keep hitting you!

NICE GRAPHICS, NICE AUDIO AND A LOT OF FUN!!!

diptoman 2017-05-05 07:47

Fun little game. I think the hitboxes are huge for the bullets, but other than that - it's a well polished experience for 3 days!

radmccool 2017-05-08 00:11

The look of this game is top notch. I love that classic sci-fi look to it. Regards feedback i might suggest some kind of mechanic to give the player a reason to not just hold down the shoot button. Something like reloading or whatever. Cool game tho, its like a polished, retro version of mine :P

jangamesdev 2017-05-08 21:04

Nice and fun game. I really like the weird perspective you archived with a simple scaling tween. Music and sounfx are solid and the paralaxing background is really cool.

ectucker1 2017-05-11 01:35

This is a really fun game! The music and art style fit together really well making the game feel creepy. The shooting is fun, even if the skulls get me every time.

My only complaint is that on one of my runs, the screen was absolutely filled with enemies. There's probably a spawn rate bug in there somewhere.

EDIT: Finally started hitting skulls! My score is up to 9650.

frodewin 2017-05-15 21:09

Nice graphics, sounds and music do also fit very well and give the game a particular nice style. The hitboxes of the sprites seem to be a bit to large, enemies explode before the bullet is touching them. It is also possible to destroy an enemy when you miss it by a close amount. I like how the opponents come from a distant mist. The gameplay became a bit dull over time.
