interesting game. I liked the gameplay, but there was a lack of feedback when shooting, and sometimes it felt like i wasn't able to shoot at all.

Turning was way too slow, slower than the turning of the path. If you missed an enemy you basically had no chance to recover, and they would end up hitting you from behind for a while.

The art is really nice though. good job

The gameplay was fine, my big issue was the turning speed, it made it incredibly unfair to face enemies unless you knew what was coming, and it was still a hard task. Sprites look nice and fit the enviroment you tried to set. Decent entry!

I have the same opininon as torcado, the art style is amazing but it's make an art style for 2d game than 3d one.

I agree that there were times I wasn't able to shoot, and turning was difficult to handle. The art looks good, and overall atmosphere was pretty spot on. The childlike music suddenly seems very creepy when the bulls charge at you. The sprites are very menacing. Well done :)

This is awesome ^^ I had a blast playing this! I like where you took the theme, in an ocean of small planets it's nice to see (I am to be blamed too though lol)

I like the simple art style, it's smart to use this flat style for things that are actually supposed to be flat. I think maybe the 3d was too much for the browser and it hurt the turn speed? it also stutters from time to time. I liked the enemies, and this was challenging, I got to the end and got my machine gun, that was great! it's a bit too powerful though. I found myself NOT wanting to buy health to keep the challenge :P

thanks for posting this! I think you did a great job. it's rare to see point and shoot games on LD.

Very cool looking visual style.

I wish that the camera rotated a bit faster or used a camera system like a first person shooter(rotates with mouse so that crosshair is always at the center). It's also kinda hard to see enemies in the water.
