That moment when you try to get the plane and it actually works. The splurgh sound made it for me, especially trying to imagine you having to perform it.

This is a good example of how simple components staged well together can create a nice gaming experience. I like the juicyness and the slomo together with the sound on hit is just great :)

That slow-mooooooooo! Nice game!
oatsbarley28 Apr 2014, 13:47
Awesome! The slow motion works really well and it's fun to control.
cageinabird28 Apr 2014, 14:34
Haha - that slowmo! And the planes too. :D

Great Gameplay! Would love to see a more advanced version of it afterwards (GUI, more blood, persistent corpses?) haha

Really addicting and fun, awesome that I can destroy the plane as well. Bookmarked and will play again :)

Needs some achievements for multi kills and what not :) Nice simple to play game, and pretty fun too.

Nice game! Simple but very fun, reminds me a lot to a flash minigame where you controlled a shark and had to jump to take down ships and planes.

heh that was cool

nice. I would have liked to see greater retaliation from the paratroopers. And where is my hiscore? :P Nice to see you use more colours in your games too :)

Simple and fun! The slow motion was awesome. And it's addicting! The music fits in well. It a bit annoying having to reload it again and again, but it was a great experience overall!

Not the first game I see with this concept, but the addition of the killcam made this extremely more satisfying. Good job!

nice, like the slow-mo, and the overall style. also feel the need to watch Tremors now for some strange reason. . . agh who am I kidding, I always have a need to watch Tremors.

Very fun, I liked the slow motion. I couldn't tell if you could kill the planes, but I felt like that would be interesting. I didn't like killing the player if they go too far left or right, though.

fun concept, but could use some more explanation.

Really nice entry. Cute art, good choice of colors, catchy tune...

The slowmo effect was a nice addition too, but I think you should not activate it for each kills, it breaks the rythme a little.

The planes, man, the planes. Finally got killed by lava. Silly me, thinking I could avoid hitting it. Cool game!

A nice entry, for sure! I would have liked to see some indication of my health (or maybe it was there and I didn't get it?) but overall, a super addicting game! Great job.

very nice. tight controls. I was about to say that it takes a long time for the enemies to spawn but then saw that you can kill the plane. Very graceful solution for those who want things to move along a little faster.
BuKaneerz1 May 2014, 19:08
Good job !
The movement are cool !
Maybe you should have added some bonus, or combo, i don't know. But it was cool (:

Really cool game, reminds me a lot of a game called Death Worm. Good graphics, solid controls and nice sound effects. Great work!

Very cool with the slo-mo effect. Blowing up my first jet was a life altering experience. :D

I liked the slo-mo effect. I hope I could control the player without holding the button.
Eniko2 May 2014, 17:09
The dynamics of the movement and speed, trying to get to the planes and the slow mo makes this deceptively simple looking game feel really good!

So fun!! And that sound!! It actually made me hungry... Nice little game!
ArcturusDeluxe2 May 2014, 23:42
That slomo zoom is so damn cool. Even though the gameplay is basic, the sense of style, and the graphics and sound, make it into a surprisingly cool experience.

Scratch that! had to press a key or something.

The slow-mo closeups was really neat and satisfying (though maybe best reserved fer passing certain kill count thresholds for best effect)

This is really cool, I like the slowmo effect when killing! ^^ sounds are really good, I'm gonna guess you made them all with you voice? Entertaining game, congrats! :)

I really enjoy it -- the slowdowns at gobbletime make the splashes of blood really apparent and I think the game fits its title well. But the challenge never ramps up. I feel like it really needs that, because it gets monotonous after a while.
Snoother4 May 2014, 17:29
Really fun! Though it lacks challenge a bit. The sound effects and music are really quite excellent also.

Great feel with the slow motion! very cool
Rodaja5 May 2014, 12:06
Slow motion when closely failing a kill made me laugh. Gameplay reminded me of LUFTRAUSERS. Keyboard controls would be a nice addition.
conormn6 May 2014, 01:46
Very nice innovation with the slow-mo and absolutely love the music loop!

Very fun! The slow motion really adds a lot to the game.

Moving the mouse outside of the game window moves you at maximum speed.

I couldn't figure out how to lose, so I ran off the side for a bit.

wow nice! like the movement mechanics but I wish 'graceful' play was more rewarded, top-skimming was the easy way to win for me.

the slow-mo is awesome and really makes the game addictive!
