This game is about you, the typical villain, trying to face the entier hero-world and keeping your princesses away from 'em.
Use arrows to move and clic to shoot, beware of the recoil or you'll maybe get out of the screen.
Beeing the villain for me means beeing alone facing the entier society, trying to keep what you get away from them, protecting it. The villain never wins, a survival where you have to stupidly shoot at everything was, for me, the best choice. Even if this game and way to use the theme is a bit classic, i hope you'll enjoy it.
Music is a bit of a surprise but i have to say the credits goes to Wagner ( yeah i know, its a spoiler 3:)
advice for any player that (i'd be happy) would like to play the game more : I was unable to make the score feedbacks so here's how it works : get 1 princess you'll get x2 get 2 princesses you'll have x5 and enter fever mode if you continue on fever mode, the number of heros (ennemies) will greatly increase. and this until you get hit and get your score multiplicator back to 1
Amazing work. I'm not playing a lot of arcade games, but I loved this one.
The three characters are very different, but it seems like they all have a fair opportunity to kill all those damn blonde knights. Very nice balance between that, even if they're all fun to play.
I really like what you did with the backfire. It's a little bit too powerful, but I think if you balance it a bit more it could be a fun game mechanic to play around with.
Very nice cartoon-style artwork. I was going to scold you for having someone else make music in the solo-compo but then heard it and thought, Oh, Wagner! Actual Wagner. Ha. Anyway, fun and hard but I kept clicking outside the window (there's likely a fullscreen option I missed)
Not sure about the 8-bit wagner, but good graphics with lots of flames/bullets enemies. The AI reminds me of the problems I had with my last LD entry 'cause they can only really walk straight towards the enemy rather then attacking from distance.
Love the graphics, the music and the idea, the recoil effect is very cool. I just can't get on with mouse+keyboard for arena shooters though - twin-stick controller support would really make this great.
Awesome graphics and animations. This is a GameMaker game but it feels almost like a great little Flash game that you'd see on NewGrounds or something. Great fast paced action. Gameplay is a little tough to get the hang of, but it works fine after you get used to it. Also, nobody else seems to have mentioned it, so I guess I'll do it: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/ The music you used is fine for the Jam but not for the Compo. A way around this would be to either enter the Jam or upload two versions for the Compo... one without music for judging, and one with music for casual enjoyment.
I downgraded you a little bit in the audio rating because you shouldn't be using music that's not yours in the Compo.
Other than that:
Lovely graphics. The gameplay gets repetitive very fast, but that's not a real problem since the game is fun while it lasts. The option of 3 different characters is pretty cool and, like it has already been said, they are different and balanced enough so the player may want to play with all of them (I liked the Shotgun guy the most, while my best results were with the flamethrower guy)
The recoil thing isn't bad except by the fact you can get ouf of the screen. Why did you leave it like that? This really shouldn't be like that.
I love the graphics style, pretty fun game! I enjoyed playing as all 3 characters. The robot I feel was the hardest, rapid-fire with a lot of kick-back.

Now I wish I'd put sound in my game..

Really well done !
The recoil felt especially good on the shotgun. Also, I found the music quite amusing.
Cmon, i did 10k during the tweaking, try to beat it

Overall a very nice game :)
