Looks great! It was fun but would have been even better if the scientists tried to escape or fight or something, not just stand there and let you kill them :)

I was enjoying this, but it started getting unplayably slow a little way in (like seconds per frame rather than frames per second). Could be that the laptop I'm playing it on is a bit slow but it didn't seem like it - was running perfectly smoothly then stopping for a few seconds, starting again, rather than just having a consistently low framerate. I don't know!
But I do like the characters, and was enjoying it while I could.
Really good, but as others have said... hard!! Great use of the theme though, and it is fun. I played it for quite a while but couldn't finish it. But I enjoyed it so I'll keep it and try again :)
Nice goats! I killed the evil goat. Looks like the collision detection on the platforms is a bit off, the goat could walk off the edge and float in the air, as long as he didn't walk too far. But I didn't actually notice until the game was over :)
Nice idea, I enjoyed it.
Wow! That's absolutely fantastic. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. There were a few points where the controls went a bit funny for a couple seconds, had a quick scan of the other comments and haven't seen it mentioned so it's probably just my browser being silly (Firefox, Win 7). Worked perfectly for the most part though.
I had the same problem as ranmaru. Tried the exe and both jars, none of them would run. Windows 7, Java 1.8
Shame, it looks pretty good!
Really atmospheric, the graphics and sound are simple but work perfectly. I found it was fine with the keyboard, got to about level 10 so far, will continue with a pad :)
I liked it! I didn't realise there were supposed to be multiple missions until I read your comment here, though. I noticed the arrows about half way through the second mission :)
I think I just spent about an hour messing up the last level and trying it again. I found the controls to be fine; if I felt like it was difficult because of the controls I probably wouldn't have bothered finishing it - but no, I was just being crap :) Nice tense feeling to it, especially when there's only a few enemies left to clear. Would be nice if the music was a bit louder in relation to the sfx, but that's a minor issue. Really enjoyed it!
Fun idea, would like to play it again when it's finished!
How amusingly depressing haha. I got all the bad endings but am just not coordinated enough to get the good one.
Now, just needs Power Glove compatibility...
Great art and sound, and fun to play. I like it :)
My god that's hard!!
The characters are cool, and the controls work well - fun and satisfying running round and shooting things. Would keep playing if there was more variety, could be the base of a pretty good game!
I love the graphics and sound but don't have anyone to play it with at the moment. Looks interesting though.
Great idea! Jumping around and kicking up dust is fun but I just can't kill the robots though, they keep killing me instead :(
Thanks for the comments! It is a bit hard, as nassi says the key is to be quick - if you kill as many of the initial enemies as possible before getting overwhelmed, you should be able to keep them under control. I thought about adding difficulty settings but ran out of time in the end :)
Red_Fan: yep, I'm trying to pass off my horrible mess of source code as 'programming' ;)
Ahh poor Amy, always dying :( Good to know it worked on Linux, thanks for letting me know!
This is great! I think it'd be good if there was a way to restore your health as some of the monsters really pop up out of nowhere and if you lose all your lives its a long way to go through all the tricky buttons again, a couple of them it felt like I hit them through sheer luck.
But it looks fantastic, is really atmospheric and enjoyable!
Nice! Love the sound, and the firefly idea. Would be good to have some sort of clue as to whether you're going the right way or not, maybe be able to run a bit faster than the monsters, there's a lot of re-exploring to do if you suddenly die. But anyway, really cool game!
