Totally nice!!!

meenners 2018-12-04 03:26

Perfect! played the entire thing :X story was intense!!! lol Awesome job!

doug-graham 2018-12-04 03:28

@meenners Thanks! yeah we try to keep our LD games to ~5-10 minute play sessions so people can enjoy the full experience.

What a good meme. XD I'm not really a bullet hell player, but I really enjoyed this!

muzzz29 2018-12-04 03:45

I love bullet hells so this was really nice to play. The music was really solid and strung everything together quite nicely. The story was... memey, but very very funny XD. Really good job on this one!

Very good. Couldn't understand sacrificing at the beginning, but after first boss all revealed. Good job!

Really nice game! :) I really like the idea of not restarting the game if the player dies, since this way, everyone can experience the entire game, without having the stress of dying. The graphics and audio were really great too. I also like the level of polish in this game (for example the text). A thing I did not exactly understand is whether you had to dodge all the bullets (the small ones)? I mean it seems pretty hard and it seemed to me that they don't take a lot of health. Anyways, I enjoyed this game. Good job for making it! :D

Great shooting game, would be better if doge speak doge grammar. In Comic Sans.

xelphyre 2018-12-05 01:31

That was amazing!

Best entry ever I have nothing to say cause its so fun and well made

dizzy 2018-12-05 03:18

omg, i really loved your game hahaha. im sad about the final :(

Nice bullet hell entry, sacrifice theme ended up being a little weak since it didn't really feel like it mattered. Jokes were funny.

vipaka 2018-12-05 05:26

You get bonus points for having a dog in your game.

Very fun and very innovative. I enjoyed the colors used and the intensity of the gameplay. Keep up the good work.

MY GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...............what a freaking masterpiece <3

afroant 2018-12-05 06:21

I was smiling from beginning to end! And the last ship actually got me to laugh. Fantastic job with the theme. Everything - graphics, audio, gameplay - was really well done. My only complaint is that ALL YOUR BASE wasn't in the game :P Oh, and the 'you died but it's LD so keep playing' was awesome - thanks for that!

Were there any differences for cat vs dog besides the GUI? (great details, btw)

dry-squid 2018-12-05 06:28

Awesome! liked the game, plus the fantastic cross platform-ness

kambing 2018-12-05 06:29

Meme-licious, 4.5 updogs!

Wow - Much X Men Theme! - Very sacrifice! - So level design!

Could be better - The number of particles during the pre-boss battles are too damn high! - Hard to see what most of the drones are doing because of it (which is why i kept the spread shot till last)

julian-creutz 2018-12-05 06:35

Wow, great game! One of the best I've played so far. Maybe the best.

great-bobleny 2018-12-05 06:46

This ranks as the funniest one I've played. Thanks.

I like how when you die you can just restart, that is a really nice touch.

A great arcade style game.

Graphics had me nervous but they really work for this game and the humor.

I wish I could play full screen (My mouse kept leaving the game) and I wish there was some different dialog between the cat and dog (I played through the first enemy the second time), but otherwise fantastic.

fireslash 2018-12-05 06:52

I'm not a fan of the controls here.

First, because they feel a bit floaty. Second, because after sacrificing a drone, your ship tends to fly off after the mouse cursor, leading to a quick demise.

Other than that though... a very competent shmup! You might try playing around with bullet engines like bulletml; they'll allow you to produce more interesting patterns without much work. Also consider difficulty options for shmups in the future; balancing these things for LD is near impossible.

Really though, the pacing was on point for LD, and it was fun enough to keep me engaged to the end. Nice work!

rodrigo-grego 2018-12-05 12:15

It was very good, just missing more memes! Congratulations!

1257th-or-nothing 2018-12-05 23:17

Amazing ! I laughed so hard during the game ! Fun to play, fun story, great job here !

314owen 2018-12-06 02:11

Beautifully made, fully enjoyed playing the game and I'm honestly sad i had to die in the end but hey, sacrifices had to be made. Good work!

nightvision65 2018-12-06 02:24

It impressed me a lot! Really a nice STG, with wonderful innovation and great polish.

mercilesscult 2018-12-06 16:53

If I could give you 6/5 I'll do it.

pedro-rosa 2018-12-06 22:53

I liked a lot the humor but the Ui style is not coherent with the rest of the artwork.

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2018-12-06 23:27

So very fun! I'm amazed that you managed to get good scatter bullet patterns during a jam <3 Theme is spot-on, and very enjoyable to play! Kudos, I hope you're very proud

bbaf 2018-12-07 13:02

Shiba came here and took away all my stars for this game! :dog:

Brilliant submission!

deathbysnail 2018-12-09 22:38

Pet Asuka for meee

acaral 2018-12-12 11:53

I have lessons to take...

A very very impressive entry. You also created a true screenplay. In comparison my shmup entry seems very cheap. So it's a 5/5 for you.

2019-04-24 21:17

It's good!
