Haha, I began this game dying straight away, and thinking "Hmm. Seems a little difficult...", but I stuck to it, and I regret thinking that, as the difficulty was just about right. It wasn't a walk in the park, but it wasn't impossible either. It's always nice when a game makes you think tactfully - aided by some pretty decent level design. I enjoyed the music as well. :) I would say that the graphics were a bit weak, but I guess it depends how retro you wanted the game to be. Well done. :D

I like the idea of it and for the most part is executed really nicely. The music is pretty nice and the graphics are colourful.

My only two problems with the game are that you can't shoot in any direction - which would be fine but enemies can walk down towards you cutting you off. The second problem is that I kinda expected to get life back from getting the people into the machine. You really don't have enough health for the levels, especially once the green soldiers are there.

Overall a pretty cool little game.

Yeah I have two issues. One, not being able to shoot up or down... and two... hacking up the survivors should give a health recharge. Other than that, this is really rad. The music is pumping. Some may say the graphics were simple or whatever, but they fit the style very well. Almost like a trash punk kinda environment. I dig the door opening mechanic, but I certainly miss having sound effects. I wasn't able to beat it, but I'll keep trying! Good job!

Fun game, but a little tricky.

The graphics and gameplay are solid, and the text blurbs on each level really add to the mood. Good entry.

Nice. It was not too hard but still a challenge. I thought the way the gun knocked enemies back, but if there were more than one you became overwhelmed was good.

I misunderstood the game a little and thought I'd regain health when I brought someone back to the shredding machine. Otherwise, good work!

It looks okay, although the sidewalk tiles look too similar to the wall tiles, and the perspective doesn't match the sprite bounding boxes. Also seems weird that combat is only horizontal, given the map layout. With polish this could be a fun romp, though.

Also sad that there's no sound effects, but the background music was pretty rockin'.
