You're a happy blue face. Equipped with 1(one) golden bomb, you must fight your way through many angries with your built-in machine gun. Remember, the bomb is always there to help you if you happen to be stuck! And boy will you need it, cause beating this game isn't as easy as you think.

Also, please tell me if there are any bugs so I can fix them ASAP. Thanks :)

It glitched out at the beginning and kept making me go to the left for a good 10 seconds then it fixed itself. Other than that it was pretty fun! I started panicking about halfway through and used my bomb too early though :x

Addictingly fun! If I had more time, I'd keep playing until I read all the witty dialogue. Not particularly an original concept, but the execution is great.

I liked the text at the bottom and the mood that it helped set, along with the facial expressions on the enemies.

Fun! Though, there never seemed to be a reason NOT to hold down all 4 arrow keys (other than now my hand hurts). Seems like limiting you to one or two directions could have helped with that (also I'm sure some peoples' keyboards don't allow all 4 being held so there's some unfairness). But I still enjoyed it. I'm assuming after the X boss with unstoppable angries they just keep coming forever?

@arkeus There is a way to beat the game. :)

Dual-stick shooters are always fun, how could anyone dislike them. Not the most original usage of the theme, but overall a good bout, and the running commentary at the bottom was great.

Hard but very fun. Too bad I'm not that good at such games.

That was fun. The theme didn't tie to the gameplay that strongly, but I still enjoyed it. I'd definitely play again, but with the sound muted... :)

Oh, and works fine in Linux w/ WINE.

Very fun. Became easier once I realized I could fire in multiple directions at once. Unfortunately I have a keyboard that prevents me firing in all four directions at once and that seems to become mandatory once past the "final" boss.

Super cool grumpy looking blocks. Nice mood cool controls :D Played it twice ^^

I liked the back and forth with the narrator. You have a good handle of game feel. The controls and hits just felt right.

I had a blast playing this. I'll definitely be playing more of this in the future...with the sound off. :)

Very fluid and simple, great.

Blast you. I suspected you might pull a fast one...

Wasn't expecting that. Ha. A bit more harrowing than it looks, and yet oddly entertaining. Very good. Very good indeed.

Great game! :P The graphics are superb!

It's become fun with too much enemies on screen! Nice job! :D

Good game, and really hard!
My keyboard let me shoot in all four directions, so it's a tad easier for me than for people whose keyboard won't allow that...

Yay good game! Hard but funny. I like the text at the bottom of the screen. Maybe it would be better with a scoring system :)

Wow, this is indescribably fun! I just can't beat the grey boss (also known as the final boss after the other final boss... God damn it, fooling me!) The trickery you played is actually quite hilarious, so the humour is definitely rated very high ;D I'll be keeping this is my folder of fun games!

HEY!!! This is one of the best game I played in this #LD28!!
Well done!

(yeah, music is a little annoying... >_>)

I love/hate the game for being so fun/hard. Need moar bombs >_<

Cool game, though I wasn't able to fire in all directions at once. I could fire in 2-3 directions, but sometimes that would result in weird movement glitches where I couldn't move in certain directions.

If it was intended for the player to shoot in all directions at once then it would've been nice to have a single button that does that, or even just have the player auto shoot.

If the game was a bit easier I'd have the patience to try and beat it. Other than that it was fun, nothing super original but I enjoyed it regardless!
