I like how you tell a story through the gameplay. That is hard to do, but you clear have some talent for it. I actually felt a small amount of emotion at a couple moments. Right in the feels, ya know?
I like this a lot! I used to use old CD's as a frisbee for unsuspecting individuals. Floppy disks would have even been more fun! I like the artwork too.
I like the red and white contrast in the art, but otherwise, I wasn't super into it. The wobbliness of the camera made me a little sick.
I love the art and I love the mentality.
Holy LOL at the amount of dependencies needed and yaks to shave to install this. Waiting on a download for step three or four. Now I am committed. I must play this.
Totally. Worth. It.
I had to install so many things just to get this game to work that I decided I had to really like it.
This is super impressive! I kept wanting to try after I died. That's the mark of a good game to me. If I am losing but want to keep playing, it is a good game.
The camera and controls give you a very immersive feeling. And the art style is cool. Remind me of Tron. The gravity inverting gun is great. I could see an awesome Portal like game.
This is brilliant. Thank you for making and sharing this.
I like the art and music. The surveillance idea is neat too. And very relevant.
This game is rad! I love how you slowly introduce abilities to the player. It makes the game play feel nonchalant and relaxed. The art style is great. But, I think my favorite part is being able to fly a kite across the ground. My childhood would have been so much better if your version of kite was real!
So much going on in the scene and I am so bad at it! The changes to the gun/control don't add to the game for me, they make it more frustrating. The game seems super reliable. There were no bugs that I could find, and the performance we great.
OMG, why are you smashing flies on your monitor!? ;) Jokes aside, this fun and oddly fulfilling...at least until I get overwhelmed with flies and lose.
I've been having weird missing texture issues and haven't been able to nail down the cause yet. Sorry. :(
The creatures look hilarious. I really like them. I was super confused as to what I was supposed to do. Then, suddenly, it froze, and I lost.
Hmm, couldn't figure out how to switch lights. You probably already know, but it would be good if the ship rotated based on your direction. I love the level artwork, and, dang that start screen is awesome! Plus, I like the overall idea and the color mixing.
I was not expecting two windows to open up, but, OMG it is so much fun playing both characters at the same time! The controls are laid out such that it is easy to control both without straining fingers/arms. I know that your intention was not for people to play against themselves, but, it totally works. I don't think I ever had this experience before. Also, it looks like you got a chance to do some polishing with the menu, ui and sprites. It seems to work well and look pretty complete. 10/10 would play again!
