This was supposed to play a bit like Jazz Jackrabbit (obviously it doesn't).
It's a platformer reverse bullethell shmup.
There are ten weapons to obtain in this game, each has to be bought for cash found throughout the level and inside enemies.
Weapons however, are not switchable (that was the intent), so once you obtain a weapon, it will shoot, every time you press X, eventually shooting all 10 weapons simulatenously.
The goal is simple: find the nuke, the ultimate weapon (you can additionally search for Winner's Roomthingie when you get it)
The plot Uhm... seriously? OK. You are a wannabe Metal Slug boss monster, and you have to stack up on weapons to get someone to even bother to draw your face properly.
Since, the weekend ends Tuesday for me, I might probably participate in the jam, so if you're an artist and like this, please contact me, or just draw stuff.
Also, if the flash is not working, please try tommorow, since I need to replace the embed code, but I'm too busted for now.
EDIT:
I changed the embed thingie, and now it works! Also,
!!! BUG WARNING !!! DO READ !!!
If you jump in a 1-block high passage (esp. the one you made yourself) you will get STUCK FOR LIFE. I'll fix that in a jam version, sorry :(
Oh, that's an obvious bug. I got around that by avoiding 1-tile-high passes in game. Anyways, just make sure to shoot your way 2-blocks high, or don't jump in such places, sorry :(
I *HATED* the manic jumping. HATED. Otherwise, I really loved this, just insane slaughter and a ridiculous amount of sprites flying all over the place. The ability to shoot coins out of the air was nice. I ended up having to be very inventive to get the final powerup after getting the nuke, because I had the fire button held down when I got the nuke and sort of vaporized most of the world.
Yeah I'm making changes, updating, polishing, bugfixing, procrastinating, etc... Anyways, I should be ready with a decent version of this by the end of the week. Stay tuned, and thanks for feedback! ;)
The music was really repetitive, and I wanted a way to turn it off after the first minute or so. Other than that I really enjoyed the game. I loved the art style and shooting the coins out of the air was a cool addition. I was gobbling up every coin I could find just to hear the pleasant *ching* sound that it made and to see the dollar signs shoot out. I finished this one and wanted more. Great job! You get high scores from me.
It was frantic and fun! Full of humor. The movement was a bit annoying, I think the player should have at least a little momentum when going left or right. You stop too abruptly which often made me miss platforms.
Totally awesome! I love it. I got stuck once or twice as well, but for the most part this was one of my favourite games of the compo. Keep up the awesome work.
Really good fun! Somewhat weird jump but otherwise plays very good. I love that you can shoot the coins down and they don't get lost. You can get stuck though if you die with lots of money and can't afford the next essential weapon. Rock solid entry!
At first I was like UHHHHHHHHHHH and then I was like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. The song will turn you into a crazy person, but the upgrades are rad. The new version looks HAWT.
Haha, super fun. I didn't quite understand at first, but by the time I was done, I loved the over-the-top collection and rambo aesthetic. The sound effects were quite funny, but I felt like the enemy-hit ones were actually damaging my speakers, especially when 5000 of them were playing at once. The game would play a lot more smoothly if you gave a little windowing to the scroll instead of fixing the player in the center. It's particularly jarring when I hit my head on something. Liked this one a lot.
Oh man, this is great! I don't know why I waited this long to try it. (I played the post-comp version.) I like the graphics and audio, and the gameplay is fast and usually smooth (and does remind me of Jazz Jackrabbit!) Personally I think this deserves a higher spot in the results! Good job man.

I got stuck between the floor and a blue block, though... =(
Need to tone down the upwards jump speed and aggressive bounce off the ceiling, but it's compulsive regardless :D
Good job :)

The announcer voices that play when you get a new weapon are killer.
The turtles look like armadillos, tho.
Frustratingly though, I got stuck in a cloud right before the boss! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/kenmo/heaven.png
