HOME IS DEAD

It's a very action-packed game with nice physics; quite fun to play around with :) Nice work, especially for your first solo work!

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the main character either reminds me of a cute duck or bunny lol.

My advice would be to make the controls more intuitive or have the ability to map controls because I usually jump with 'w' in wasd so it felt a bit strange. Once I got used to it, though, I really enjoyed it.

PS I see that "you aren't supposed to be here" ;) I'll do what I want!

It's very fast paced and fun which is nice, but it gets way too hard way too fast. It would be ok if maybe there was a powerup you could get but it gets aggravating. The graphics are great but that makes up for the lack of music. Still, this game receives a good score.

I really enjoyed "Home is dead"! It has a nice difficulty curve, and who doesn't like air jumping. Found a small glitch where I could continue playing even after I died, had some fun with that ;) Good job overall.

Game was really really fun! The difficulty ramped up HUGE after some time (when the enemies would essentially carpet bomb the map), but other than that it was really fun :).

Pretty difficult, but fun little idea. Nicely done. I think some tweaking on the difficulty curve would make the game much more solid.

Cool game. I liked that you had a secondary attack that you could use when you where out of ammo. As others have said, the difficuly increased too fast, to the point where you couldn't do much, but overall i enjoyed it.

Excellent gameplay! The mecanics are simple and feel very fluid. I thought that it wasn't chellenging enough and that fireing again and again whilst gathering batteries would keep me running for hours but it didn't so, in the end the difficulty seems balanced, even though at some point I'm not sure on how far the player can go! Maybe it could be cool if the alien ships that you don't destroy had an effect on the map, like maybe destroying platforms and reducing the playable area? The graphics are neat, the music really cool, the only black dot to me is the SFX, maybe they are too loud and not that pleasant to hear when you've been playing for a few minutes. Good job!

Cor, this is great! Until the main fleet arrived and sapped my home to a withered husk.

Fun for a short while. The graphics are neat. The music could ramp up with the action, it is somewhat low key at the moment.

The idea of choosing between high power shooting and more efficient melee is a good idea. It breaks down once the level is completely full of enemies of course.

Nice entry in all. Keep it up!

(Don't forget to rate more entries, you deserve to get to 20 yourself!)

Nice graphics, audio was also good, but I didn't like that when player shoots constantly the shooting effects stack and it sounds glitchy. The gamplay was fun, but it lacks more powerful attacks that would make it more interesting.

Good! I also had a bug when you continue playing after death. And when in this dead mode, there's point when ships fall faster then you could kill them and after some time game starts drop framerate heavily.

Awesome game! I love how the characters head will follow the mouse. The theme was used pretty well! The music was simple but effective, and the gameplay was quite fun! Good job!

Is a nice game. I like the two different weapons but I don't understand why sometimes the gun didn't work. It may be because in my computer the game window has behaved weird and the top half of the screen was cut(I use two screens, so that may have caused some problems)

For a first-time solo game, it's a pretty good start. I liked the difference between melee and gun, but it would have been nice to have a way to recover the gun ammo. The controls felt pretty snappy, but I found myself walking off the edge a bit too easily.

I'm curious the number of features in this game are..."happy accidents." For example, the infinite jump seems like an accident when you have a message on top saying, "You're not supposed to see this message!" The enemies not hurting you is a little weird, especially when their falling and landing on top of your character. And sometimes holding the melee button doesn't cause rapid fire, while other times, it does. Of course, being able to kill more enemies while dead is clearly a bug. I guess I'm easily peeved by bugs.

This game was nice ! It's really polished. I liked that the melee attcack does not take energy. There is a platform that was impossible to jump on ! It's the one in the left, the nearest one to the player spawning power from his left, I tried a lot but I could not jump on it ! Was a little fun game that I had a couple of minutes trying to kill the maximum number of enemies. Oh also, I didnt noticed that enemies does anything (I may be wrong because when there was a lot of enemies, my power was decreasing really fast). But even if I'm wrong I have something to tell about enemies, you have to make more than one enemy behaviour (I did the same mistake in this LD). Good entry !
