Story line ==========
Akin's is angry on the rest of his kind for thinking that his colors are gay and therefor he dressed up as a joker to take revenge of them.
control Akin and eliminate your enemys~!!!
controlls and features you should know ======================================
"z" = slash, by adding the up or down key you slash in an angle
"x" = throw a card, cards stunt your enemys usualy and some units are not effected by the stunt effect or by the damage they inflict.
"x" + "down" = after you stunt an enemy you can rip his head off and use it as a weapon by getting realy close to him and pressing this combination, once you ripped your enemy's head you can throw it by pressing "x".
*this attack kills every unit instantly*
"c" = Super Attack, costs 5 diamonds, axes swing around you killing everything they touch - realy usfull in every situation.
"space" = jump, include the "left" and "right" keys to jump to sides
"space" + down = fall down from a platform *forgot to mention that =]*
movement is controled by the arrows
collect diamons for supers and hearts for health and continues, Akin is regenerating health on his own so don't worry too much about your health, try to avoide troubles

Really stylish. The way enemies explode is deeply, deeply satisfying. My only complaint is how enemies damage you - in most games of this sort, you'll go flying back and/or get some temporary invincibility - it's more visceral, makes you feel like you've really been hurt, and gives you a chance to get away from danger. Here the enemies just sort of hover on top of you and drain your life. It's somewhat frustrating.
(and it really could have used some sound effects. The exploding enemies effect would have had even more punch if accompanied by the right noise)
Those little bat-kittens are annoying :P The controls are a tad hard to get used to, but generally you've got a pretty decent game here. Nice use of stun and special attack mechanics. Good job for 48hrs.
Looks really neat, I tried to play but couldn't get very far due to the wacky controls. If you'd upload a version for people like me who can't get used to using ZXC and space at the same time it might be a lot more accessible.
This is a pretty nice little game. I love the weird characters. Controls are a little weird, not sure what would have made them better, they just felt 'off' a bit.
Also, there's no sound, even though I see sound-related DLLS in the distribution. Is this an error on my end, or did the sound not end up being included?
The cats are vicious. Nice graphics and unique character design. Stunning the enemies by sticking cards into their foreheads is very enjoyable. I didn't have any trouble with the controls after a short while. Didn't make it to the boss yet, but I will try again later.
Nice little game, great production for 48 hours! I got to level 4. What I didn't like is that enemies just keep coming back at the top when you kill them. I almost stopped at level 1 thinking: how long is this going to go on like that?
That was awesome! Absolutely oozes style. Interesting game mechanics and enemy progression. I love how "dying" just knocks you to the bottom. Some of the normal levels went on for far too long (especially the 80+ enemy ones), but it kept me interested through the final boss.
Great looking game. Very hard for me though. I couldn't even make it past level two because of those damn cat bats being so vicious. Visually looks really great. Controls seem pretty decent as well as the platforming physics. I couldn't really grasp most of the advanced control moves and attacks. Great work for 48hrs!
Controls are a bit sluggish somehow. At first didn't figure out I had to kill a number of enemies to pass the level.
