The link to play (https://somestufz.itch.io/155-hitmen) is a 404! Did you remember to set the game to public on Itch?

Cant find the page on itch.io, might want to check that as currently no one can play your game!

oops should be fixed now

Neat little game!

The graphics are quite cool actually. Simply abstract.

I think the friendly fire on the VIP really adds to the game, otherwise would would just stay in the middle and shoot around.

I can try your game, so the link is working ! Classic top down shooter, it lacks of amelioration/bonus/items, but it well made and fit the theme. **Protect the VIP !!!!!** (very difficult my best time is 63 sec). mann.jpg

Gave it a go, it was decent. Found it a bit too hard with all the yellow enemies coming in at once in the later rounds, and there wasn't really enough to keep me engaged.

Overall it's a solid effort without any huge problems, just needs more polish and a bit more expansion I think.

Fun game! Being unable to fire through the VIP makes it really hard. I loved the simple design :)

Simple idea, but quite fun. Seemed impossible on the last waves, then I re-read the description and realized that you can build :/

This is really fun! The building aspect is very cool, and I like little details like the fact the main character can absorb bullets for the VIP. I wish there was a little more visual feedback on shots that hit (both the enemies and the VIP), but I know those are the first thing to get cut in a compo. Overall, it played grea!

nice and simple. could use some sort of hit feedback tho

Really cool game. I really like the music and I liked the balance of the enemy's spawning in. It had a good difficulty curve. Good Job.

Simple but pretty fun. Found it kinda hard when in later round when huge group of enemies come at once. Maybe even it's a waves of enemies, make it so they come one by one. By doing that you can also increase the spawn speed for difficulty spikes. Great work putting this together!

Surprisingly difficult, has some fun emergent mechanics like taking bullets for the VIP and body-blocking the melee hitmen. I accidentally shot the VIP an embarrassing number of times

I wish all Ludum Dare entries were like this one. Quick to start. Doesn't require a lot of reading to figure out how to play. Adding damage to the VIP by friendly fire was a nice touch. My best score was something around 118 left. Maybe add some visible indicator showing when you can build a box.

Fun game! It was pretty challenging until I figured out a good strategy for the barriers.

Simple game but good concept! I like the option of building boxes, it feels a refreshing twist to a familiar formula. Although it makes sense, I'm not sure how I feel about your own bullets also damaging the target. It feels a bit like a hassle since it makes it even harder to shoot the other hitmen and the game already seems hard enough as it is. In fact, it might even be a bit too hard as it is right now even with the build mechanic. As others have said, more visual feedback would make the game even better. Good job!
