I really wanted to do something other than "throw enemies at enemies" or "take control of enemies", etc.
Then it occurred to me that the enemies don't have to be the player's enemies. So I based the game on picking up symbols of things, matching pairs of mutual enemies (e.g., democrats and republicans), and using the contention between these natural enemies to power your gun.
I only implemented one type of (pretty lame) bad guy for you to shoot, so the actual shooty gameplay isn't as compelling as I'd like. I also spent about half my time in Photoshop, since I'm a coder, not an artist, and I was very slow at making the icons.
Done in Flash, with FlashPunk. Sfxr used for sound effects.
innovation... yep, there's something i haven't seen before... done quite well actually
fun-wise, it's pretty run-of-the-mill, but it works somehow
theme is a very interesting interpretation, and i'm giving you 5 stars for uniqueness
audio is there and it works
humour is there and while it's an amusing concept you totally cocked up the fact that the fish is a christian symbol as well as the cross, plus i find the reference not that amusing
overall, i recommend looking into this game for general interest
community effort... quite extensive, you've gone so far as to show what food you ate so i think you basically went all the way (other than a time lapse) so 5 stars for you
Not trying to get all nitpicky, but if you look closely, you'll see the fish is a Darwin fish, a symbol pretty solidly appropriated by the atheists. :) I wasn't at all upset by that oppositional element.
Fun interpretation of the theme. Can't wait to see more.
Well done! You were very original and brilliant in your mix-n-match powerup concept. I didn't like the graphics or the political/religious iconography: the humour fell flat and I would have preferred it to be mixing fire and water, oil and vinegar, light and dark mana, etc. But great execution and original idea. Good work!
Nice. The graphics all look very clean, and I like the idea. I love the way the combos work, though too often I wound up on a screen full of things that didn't go together.
