I felt like I was slaughtering Lemmings! Hahaha
Glad you had fun with LD. Please come back for more! This was my 8th. It has become on obsession now... lol

Pretty fun. Somewhat of a mess aesthetically, but mechanically solid (apart from being a bit easy). Nice first entry.
p.s. that enemy death sound made me laugh way more than it should have - one of those "so bad it's great" moments

Was a little incoherent on the style and gameplay front - a mix of pixel and particle fx with the graphics, and a bit too complex with the ammo buying part.

Good game, but it became boring quickly. There was little challenge or reward to motivate me to continue.

lightsoda29 Apr 2013, 22:02
Works well enough for what it is. Feels like a grind though, getting to $500 takes a good while, some change, like a different, harder enemy type with a bigger reward could have changed it up a bit.

psychomonster29 Apr 2013, 22:25
planed to put three diffrent types of enemy... but time ran out so quickly... this is why the remix of pixel art and particle fx... next time i know better how to use the time :D
Daisuke90929 Apr 2013, 22:35
So many Wilhelm screams... congrats on you first game.

psychomonster29 Apr 2013, 23:13
@Daisuke909 :D thx... Thats was a really good weekend :D
howieV (binarygirl)30 Apr 2013, 00:02
hehe good job man.. and props on the wilhelm scream :)

Markavian30 Apr 2013, 00:08
Splat.

KHANanaphone30 Apr 2013, 21:58
I find it interesting how you can just run to the right immediately and win.

psychomonster30 Apr 2013, 22:31
damn... was setting the credits to 500 to test win-requirements :( Kinda noobish fail ... sorry for that... but please try to imagine how it could be if you had to grind all the money :D
jwolf30 Apr 2013, 23:02
Decent concept. I keep wanting to write that it needs more variety (weapons, enemy types, etc.), but that'd probably work against the theme.
I like the fact that you can accidentally destroy the rewards (makes for some tradeoffs in play decisions).

nice game, but it´s basically the classic shoot and upgrade game
danpm30 Apr 2013, 23:45
Nice game, congrats for your first LD entry!

Gotta love the Willhelm Scream. interesting idea, though for a laptop user with a touch pad mouse I found the experience a bit exasperating. :P The graphics felt a bit mismatched, but otherwise it was an enjoyanble experience, more like a zombie shooter than a war 'sim'.
argo151 May 2013, 01:25
There's a bug where you can't get hurt if you don't move. Other than that it was really fun. Love the Wilhelm screams.

nice job on your first ld -- pretty fun -- kinda like killing the lemming like creatured -- nice effort -- nice killing sound too
richtx1 May 2013, 01:26
Felt guilty at first, then I hit my stride. Liked it a lot.

psychomonster1 May 2013, 01:29
yeah sorry for that non-alternative-controller-setting, time ran out so quickly :p... touch pad is really bad... But many other trippleA-Titles are requiring mouse too... a Laptop without an external mouse is not constructed for playing games ^^
Hayawi1 May 2013, 01:39
Very easy after you kill like 5 guys
Boiúna1 May 2013, 03:00
Cool game and funny sounds. Very addictive. :)

fullmontis1 May 2013, 07:11
Very fun! My only conplaint is that it is too easy to entrench on my home. Also, more enemy variety would make this awesome. Very addicting.
saggiosoft1 May 2013, 09:39
There's some work to do in order to make it a refined game but the basis is very good. Great and fun!
kreischweide1 May 2013, 15:54
Nice first entry! Had fun grinding, but could really use some kind of bait for the mind to stay focused.
HelkeGames1 May 2013, 18:14
Nice game, like the concept very minimalist :D
badlydrawnrod1 May 2013, 19:31
Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare. Good effort.

someone1 May 2013, 21:39
Nice game. Could do with different enemies or bosses to keep it interesting.
Perhaps I should have read the mission, I ended up with a score of 11000 waiting for something to happen.

@someone ... hehe read first ^^

Right click to restart without any confirmation message!?! aghhh
Good job completing your first LD. I do believe if you look at the rules fixing minor bugs like the debug $500 thing is actually allowed after the deadline, just no major changes.

It was quite fun for a while and the graphics were quite nice however the audio for the enmies dying became irratating because they didnt reward you enough so you could mow through them for ages and only have like 100 dollars so it felt kind of unfair. But overall it was quite fun(:
naufr4g05 May 2013, 19:48
They are lemmings with a different hair style! :D
Quite fun in the first minutes, a bit boring after a while.
Why bullets don't rotate along with the gun?
Game needs different kind of enemies, too.
Anyway good game for a first entry. =)

@TuxedoFish :Yeah I think 500$ is a little bit to much... 150$ would have been enough :) Thx for playing...
@naufr4g0 : Oh yeah this little guys are inspired of Lemmings... but this hairstyle is no hairstyle... that are helmets :D yeah The Bullets... There was not enough time to plish the that much... next time at LD27 I will have to change my stratigy a little bit :D Thx for playing

Nice, but probably you should work to vary the gameplay a little bit. I read it's your first LD, so congratulations ;)

MinionStudios13 May 2013, 13:34
Fun, but really short...







Congrats on your first LD entry and good luck in the future!
