This game is really good, a shooter with minimalistic graphics. I liked the graphic. At the beginning I did not understand which color is an enemy and which is ammo. I think you should add that to the description.

Neat little game, it's good fun. I like the jumping/fading death animations, they're a nice touch.

Good rythm and & Good difficulty curve. Player maybe 30+ games.
At 10 learn I can fire up ( take that blue flyers ! ).
At 20 lean I can fire down... Mmmh not so useful in late game buttons of funs at start for skill shot :D

5400 ? Seriously, I could hardly reach 2000-2500...
You should stop that counter on player death it would make the final score more readable. ( With a blinking and a little coin *Beep* ) Or at least show it on the gameover screen.

Tainting dead monster in white is genius, usually people tend to turn contrast down to make active game elements more visible, but white being plateform and hero color it somehow feel safe. Very intuitive.

I had no problems with ammo box, but considering the above comments maybe they would work better with grey ( like hero grey )

Great entry top fun mark !

Pretty cool! very minimal :) in a good way

Ok playability, naturally reminds of super crate box. :)
Harsay29 Apr 2013, 13:04
Simple and hard
Fadobo29 Apr 2013, 13:10
Good feel, challenging, fun and it's even with the minimalistic graphics it's easy to tell apart all the things. Well done!

Fun minimalist shooter! Reminded me of the original Smash Brothers, but with guns!

The pistol is overpowered when compared to other weapons with its infinite ammo and one hit kills.

Haha, 2000 is about my max. I really want to see the little thing at 5400!

Nice rich sound effects. Also the game is really smooth and oddly fun for how simple it is.

I really loved this! Lots of fun, great, simple graphics/mechanics and it gets very challenging fast. Nice job!

The splash screen and the game are a bit out of sync. A blockier splash screen would have worked better. Rather reminiscent of Super Crate Box, but I liked the fact that you could aim your gun.

Very minimal, nice game :D

Minimalistic metal slug! I love it.

WHAT!?!? All that only to find out 'there is no potato.' After a couple of plays, I fired up JoyToKey. I enjoyed the game much more with a game pad. Also, if you stand on the inner edge of one of the lower platforms and fire up, you're pretty much invincible until "a little something happens." But, overall, an EXCELLENT entry!

nice squares! =)

Surprisingly fun! :)

Cool and fas-pacing game! Played a lot of rounds. It simple, yet hard, with good music and colors.

Machine tells me that the Jar could not be launched (On mac OSX) unfortunately.

Very simple but quite enjoyable. Too bad the theme was implemented as "let's make a SCB-like game and remove the graphics"

Really loved the flamethrower animation, unfortunately, I didn't manage to reach the 5400 mark, too hard for me!

@infernet89 Fun fact: The flamethrower was supposed to be a machine gun but due to a bug, i made it into a flamethrower, I thought it was more interesting than a machine gun ^^
Canobie2 May 2013, 02:15
Very neat!
PhaZ907712 May 2013, 03:28
It reminds my of the original Mario Bros. What was your workflow like. For instance, how much time did you spend on QA and balancing?
Sh1rogane
Sh1roganeauthor2 May 2013, 05:35
@PhaZ90771 QA in LD? I think i spent about 1 hour in total, i know it is very unbalanced, sometime around 2000 is it very hard and around 3000 very easy, and the weapons, i don't know :P

Good game. The blue guys are hard to avoid when crowded with red guys. Nice entry!
Rafael Sales3 May 2013, 20:25
Cool game. Extremely minimalist. Congratz!
Jellycakes4 May 2013, 15:53
Pretty decent shooter. Needed to tell myself to stop playing. Really addictive and so simple. Nice one!
rujo6 May 2013, 15:18

Stays true to the theme and a decently fun game. Could have used a little bit of freshness but hey I'm not complaining.
