Min is one busy little dude, fully overequipped for his high-paced lifestyle. But is there really meaning in his tasks? Actually, what are the important parts? Is less... more?
----------
Two of us worked on this, starting from some base java code.
The idea was to explore the whole concept of minimalism, a bit through the player rather than explicitly taking things from it. Not sure how well we succeeded. Also, our first jam, so probably overblown the time... ;)
Hope you like it!
Edit 2:
We fixed a game crashing bug that happened when you were hit by too many enemies.
Edit:
Some people have encountered problems getting the game to start. In 100% of cases so far, it's because you need to update your Java to the latest version from java.com (the latest update of 1.7). It won't work with Java 1.6.
Controls:
WASD move, arrow keys fire. Spacebar only starts the game. Esc to quit the game at any point
Thanks for playing, to everyone who's done so already! :D
Thanks for the feedback guys, really glad you enjoyed it :) TheAwesomeProgrammer, are you sure the game window had mouse focus, sometimes that can be the problem.
Catchy music and nice artwork. I unfortunately couldn't figure out how to get out of the second room, pressing space doesn't seem to do anything for me?
At first I tried to kill all the baddies, but then I found out they're just a nuisance because you can't be damaged. The moralistic part didn't appeal to me so much, but still a good effort to incorporate the theme. I like the maze at the end.
I liked the concept, the idea of becoming minimalistic instead of already starting that way is nice! Also liked the transformation of the character and the ending.
Hey very cool entry! You did claymation too :D The idea of losing a weapon every time is good and adds some stress. All those little concepts really add up to a good game.
Reversed Megaman :D Like those sprites graphics. Are hulk dodging bullets ? Sometime they really seems too. The ssekers presence add tons of fun in the game, you have to alternate arcade and strategic sequences. Nice ending by the way, are you trying to say I should stop testing LD game and spend more time with my wife ?

The ending is cute.
Looks really nice though, will come back and hope there's a solution
I have to admit I was unnaturally pissed at 'Cheevo' at the start, haha. Good game
@drstik you use wasd to move and arrows to fire, you need to find the end of level portal to progress. Space only works to start the game.
@pentaphobe, chances are it's the Java version, can you try download the latest version, 1.7.
@enzo, the sprites were pre-rendered in Blender, they do look a bit like clay :) I'm really happy with how they turned out.
@zkenshin Thanks for reporting that, I've fixed the crash bug and re-uploaded.
