Classic SNES vibe clearly came through. Nice smooth game play and controls. Nice job!

That was awesome! The graphics and retro vibes were on point, and the gameplay was fun. This is one of my favorite submissions so far. Good job!

Very nice! Nicely balanced and fun :D

Cool I win

This is really good! I never could win but I enjoyed attempting it several times. Got a bit easier when I realized I could hold the mouse button down to auto fire, might be worth mentioning you can do that in the description.

Loved the art for this game and the sound. I was unable to use the shield as whenever I pressed spacebar the whole page would scroll down, this might be my fault but it meant I couldn't block ever

Thanks for allowing me to relive a little piece of my childhood. This game smacks of the 'good old days' of the SNES/Genesis era. Everything from the music to the sound effects to the graphics screams 90s console system. As a bonus, the game was fun as well ;) I destroyed that AI good and proper. Great job!

Pretty fun battle and nice pixel art. I have a similar Shield idea in my original idea of my game, and finally I droped it. Your game handled this mechanism very well, and make the battle far more exciting. Got lot of fun from it! Good job!

Short and sweet is how I would describe this game. I would love to know the technical details behind programming essentially a 2D on the rails shooter. Its so clever, and really well polished. For a Compo game this is absolutely in my top ten games right now.

Pressing space scrolled down in my browser (firefox) even when the game window had focus, so it ended up being a race against time for me. Still, felt like it had potential to be quite fun.

Fun little game although it took me a minute to realize there was a bar at the bottom and that it might not be effective to just spam shots.

This is awesome and very fun too! I even tried with no-damage + shoot boss-only run.

It was fun! I missed this kind of games in the arcade machines. At first, I couldn't block the enemy's projectiles right, I thought there was some kind of timing needed or it just hits too early (I was waiting for the projectile to get bigger and bigger as it gets nearer the player. But I learned I could hold my shield up indefinitely because I thought the meter below is a shield meter or something. Turns out it was a charge attack.

This was a lot of fun to play. It was a little confusing as to what to do at first, but once I got the hang of it I had a lot of fun. Great job, team!

This game feels and plays so well. The music was real good too. I would love to fight some more enemies in this!

cax 2020-10-06 11:34

Cool graphics and gamedesign, it's pretty hard for the first time but cool skill progression when playing. Also i'd like change mouse sensitivity)

eldogg 2020-10-06 22:31

I like the feeling of movement and speed with the background scrolling and the shooting effects feel very satisfying. A nice little shooter, that yes very much reminded me of super scope, an excellent homage. Great entry.

i love games that i can finish during the ludum. loved the retro feel and it was very satisfying to win. loved it!

naali 2020-10-08 04:29

I liked the shield mechanic. Reminded me of playing star fox a bit. Nice job.

2020-10-09 12:45

Great game! Once I realized I could hold and leave the shield up so I did not have to time it, I won! Can't wait to see more levels! Awesome!

jka 2020-10-10 11:12

Nice old-school boss battle! I like the shield mechanic.

dragonayzer 2020-10-12 20:12

A nice little game! I do wish there was a bit of variety to enemy patterns (i.e. when the drones are destroyed, the rest would, say, start to move around the boss), but other than that the game feels pretty smooth. Loved the particle effect on blocking enemy projectiles!

jonathan-lorenz 2020-10-23 13:10

Short but efficient game! I had fun, it didn't waste my time, and since it was a samll game, each aspect of it were well polished! I would hope more dev (including me) take example of this scope! Good work!

Super cool. Sweet graphics, nice sounds and music, cool effects, fleshed out gameplay for what it is.

neowhoru 2020-10-27 12:36
