This game is a side scrolling action-platformer where you chase down a helicopter.
Explosions, enemies, meteors, powerups and explosions everywhere.
Every 10 seconds, meteors will fall and destroy the landscape.
Stuck in a hole?
Use your rockets to blast a way through or your lasers to help you jump over.
Keep moving right to create a randomly generated fresh level and boss.

Controls
A-Move Left
D-Move Right
Space-Jump

Crazy action! very fun, but wasn't sure what my goal was

Cool looking game, but it didn't seem to have a goal :P Love the dirty look of the graphics and the crazy action!

Great job Ferv, but you could've done a better job with the title!

Looks awesome! Very polished

Best game I've played so far. It also has, by far, the best visuals. I'm amazed you made so many great sprites so fast. Nice job.

Why is it raining meteors.
Why am I shooting lazer beams from my hands.
Why are octopus and helicopter things trying to kill me.

A+ would play again.

Tifu26 Aug 2013, 15:36

Pretty frantic! I got a little slowdown at times when there was too much going on. Fun though, and nice design on the enemies!

Great graphics. Nice little shooter. The meteors were a great touch. I love the destruction.

EvilObjective27 Aug 2013, 02:58

Awesome visuals. I enjoyed the frantic pace and really liked the death sequence.

Jayjay27 Aug 2013, 03:21

Awesome job, fun game =D

That was delightful! The action was hilariously over-the-top in the most exciting of ways! And the hopping around destructible terrain, and the desperate shooting felt oh so right.

It got a bit weird toward the end though, it feels like when the ground beneath you is all blown up, you should fall and die, I ended up loop-falling quite a bit before finding more land.

Overall tons of fun, and I will definitely be replaying this later.

it's fun haha , cool

That was pretty fun, really liked the bullet-hell feel of the game. everything generally worked well together. Nice one!

LittleThor28 Aug 2013, 08:03

Fun game but it needs a goal to be more interesting. Just add score and leaderboard and it would be very nice.

epiplon28 Aug 2013, 18:32

Great game! I only missed a score system.

udo28 Aug 2013, 20:55

The amount of action on the screen was insane! I had a wonderful time trying to survive... How on earth did you do all this within 48 hours? That's godlike!

nddrylliog28 Aug 2013, 20:55

Hectic! Enjoyable very much. Sorry my comments don't make any sense. Keep doing stuff like that. BRING THAT SHIT ON STEAM <3.

Fervirauthor28 Aug 2013, 21:26

Not even kidding, I spent like 30+ hours making the game.
I'm really experienced with Construct Classic though, which is really good at putting together rapid prototypes.

[-BipolarDesign+]28 Aug 2013, 22:28

Oh man super difficult but excellent fun game! I loved this one, please turn it into a full game!!

VDZ28 Aug 2013, 22:35

I had a lot of fun with excessive upgrades, being able to freely navigate in all directions using recoil and such. http://i.xomf.com/snjhs.png

andreyin29 Aug 2013, 04:14

Real nice, no idea it had been made with Construct Classic until I read it the description! Good work fellow AGDG'er *tips fedora*

XaiZil30 Aug 2013, 22:48

Hectic but fun, couldn't work out goal

Fervirauthor31 Aug 2013, 23:47

The goal is to have fun

It was indeed Explosion Time! Awesome game :) Controls were good and lots of senseless action.

syawqy4 Sep 2013, 01:22

this is fun
but there's lag when meteor crash down

murilo4 Sep 2013, 01:25

That was awesome! Kind of mindless fun but crazy fun! Overall it was pretty good! I especially liked the slow motion bits to escape the meteors!

Purplescape4 Sep 2013, 03:35

It's action packed and much fun to blast through! Cool game

theholychicken5 Sep 2013, 02:18

Woah, destructible terrain and meteors. This is crazy!

NightShadow05 Sep 2013, 13:49

Loved it, but the random (?) slow-downs were really annoying.

SnoringFrog6 Sep 2013, 02:58

Absolutely loved this game! I played until I spent most of my time flying with my guns (their shots covered the entire screen if I centered myself at the top), 7-8 rockets at a time...it was awesome. Really glad you didn't cap the upgrades really low.
