Concept:
"You're in a box, which you escape from by destroying the walls. Completing a level creates a copy of yourself with your current stats, a Shadow Link, that follows you to all future levels. Unfortunately, he dislikes how you smell and wants you to go away. Being unable to speak, his only way of expressing his feelings is to shoot you in the face."
Controls:
WASD - Movement.
Mouse - Aim and shoot.
E - Swap through weapons.
R - Deletes your local save file (to start a new game).
Tools:
AS3/Flash/Flixel @ FlashDevelop (code).
Paint.NET (art).
Musagi (music).
Rant:
2nd Ludum Dare finished. Woot. ^__^ Yay for Flixel. After spending the last 3 hours of the Dare attempting to compose music, I was reminded how terrible I am with it and ended up keeping the music from my first day build--parts of which are drum samples from DrPetter, if it sounds a bit familiar. All in all, this LD was another ridiculously awesome, fun, and enlightening experience.

Hope you guys enjoy the final product as much as I enjoyed making it. Cheers! :D
edit: The updated post compo version is not meant to be judged! It was worked on for ~a week after the Dare finished as I continued developing the game for funsies and uses music from my actually musically talented friends. Posted in case you enjoyed the original and wanted to see what happens if you leave a kid with lots of awesome feedback.
