Very nice! Love the look of the terminal. A tab for auto-complete would have been super nice, but it was really quite fun anyway.

Eat all the things!
I also like the intro. The game started out really easy, and I was kicking some butt, then it all of a sudden got really hard :S
Love the graphics. The lights over the clouds are a nice touch. I finally beat the game and am now collecting all the copper I can find ;) Also love the text in your game. Was stuck on last level for some time. Would have been cool to get better weapons to take on the later levels maybe. Nice work.
why are there cat heads falling down?
the double machine are so OP its awesome :D
Nice looking game, a little confusing, but I think I work it out mostly. Nice job.
I put down 3 basic towers, with one upgraded one, and I was able to leave the game running for about 30 minutes. None of the other towers seem to do anything.
Thanks for your comments!
@Sgt Squirrelly, I was getting a big slowdown overtime when I had the game in debug mode, but couldn't find a leak anywhere. The when I switched to release mode, it seemed fine. But it must still be there, just not as visible on my pc. Thanks.
@aeveis, that jump key was something I was meant to fix, but forgot about it. You do get a few annoying moments because if it.
@Jeremy1080, I had a whole plan for working my way up to some futuristic wheels, but 48 hours came and went :S
Wow, I am getting an amazing response. Thanks for the comments and feedback guys. It has made me really want to take this game further. Might fix up a few of the bugs, and maybe try and get a mobile version running. I think it could work well on mobile.
Thanks brenthamel. awe6 is a really nice game framework for the Haxe language. It basically gives you a bunch of tools, and base classes to use, so you can get straight into the good stuff.
More info on awe6 here: http://code.google.com/p/awe6/
@heuermh, Haha thanks, your comment made my day. That is actually the reaction I was hoping for.
@matthias_zarzecki, That is a very interesting idea. I might have a go at creating an endless one button game in a similar style soon.
People really seem to struggle with the jump at first, so I have been working on this for a post compo build.
Graphics a really nice. Love the chunky pixel look.
I like the it when games get you to manage two things at once. Really plays with your brain. Awesome intro too.
Nice job. I really like the concept. And good replay value with the upgrades.
So I was a running around on the lush green grass, eat carrots, when... ARHHH I'm being eaten by a wolf :( Nice game though. Graphics a super cute.
Awesome game, and super funny.
Nice mechanic, and well done. Nice amount of levels too.
I think I get it... oh... wait... I lost it. WAIT! There it is. Nice "out there" idea dude.
Amazing! Just amazing!
Really nice! Love the graphics and the little animation in the UI. Really like the death animation too. Good use of colour.
Awesome game. A good challenge. Played it for quite some time.
Very cool, and nicely polished.
Interesting mechanics. I have seen this before, but I like your take on it, and you can see that you have thought about the progression through the levels and training the player with new skills and problems.
I liked the audio and the concept. Not sure why the level changes every 5 seconds. I am sure you could have come up with a way to make it change every 10 seconds and still be fun. Maybe bigger maps?! Menu screen is cool!

Nice! Would be better if it had better keyboard controls and maybe some inertia.
Wow thanks for the responses people :D It is great to get this feedback.
@nicotuason & @mrspeaker
I did actually add "hold to keep firing" and it took the frantic, button bashing feeling away, so made the call to stick with how it is.
@netguy204
Did you get all the way through? I made the first levels easy so you can learn how it all works, but I feel it does get kinda challenging. Maybe I underestimated some Ludum Dare'iens gaming skills ;)
@Katamori
Thank you so much for your comments, and thanks for taking the time to give some great feedback. Always appreciated.
Super cute game! I really want to do a barrel roll!
Wow, I am sure that game did some sort of permanent damage. I got all the way to the end, and it definitely sucked me in. Nice work on keeping it original.
Very nice! Love the art style, and the animations are great. Actually, pretty much everything about is game is awesome. Nice work.
Once I figured out I was competing AGAINST the AI, then everything made a lot more sense.
I really like this game. Played it for quite some time, trying to get a larger and larger ship. It really does get quite hard.
Very nice game. Congrats. Love the look and feeling of the game. Controls take a few seconds to get used to, but then it is magic! Super fun! :)
I was confused on the first world, but ended up playing till the end. Nice little game.
I beat all the levels and think the game is really nice. I do think the adding up of the score takes way too long.
I really liked this game after I figured it out. Could be very interesting to develop further. I do wish it didn't pause when the game does not have focus.
I would really like to know more about the rules, and it would be great if the max link distance was greater, but overall a really interesting game.
Just wow dude! That is some amazing pixel art skills you have there. Also really love the music, and the story. I just wish there was more!
Very nice! love your pixel art. Just a pitty there was no real ending (as far as I could see), but I think this has scope to keep working on it. I would definitely pick up the full version ;)
Interesting, but what am I doing> Definitely some of the nicest graphics I have seen this LD.
Interesting take on the bullet hell shooter.
I really got into your story, and you set it up very well. Quite a lot of content there.
Excellent! Love the graphics, audio, and the feeling of the game.
Really nice, and super fun. Love the twist ;)
Very well done. Seems to be a lot of content, and I think having one big world is actually something a little different.
YEAAAAAAAAH!
Very interesting. The last few sections seemed to be quite a lot easier than a few of the middle part. Well done though.
Very nice gameplay, and a great idea.
Awesome and amazing! That's right!
Very fun, and I like the music. Not really sure if I am progressing through the game though, or what my actual goal is. But maybe that doesn't matter, because it is fun :)
