Really nice game. I especially like the music and graphics. At first I had trouble figuring out how to move on (I didn't notice the lever or even know they existed) but it's kinda fun!
Character felt basically invincible which didn't give me much incentive to try hard. Also, bunched up enemies all died from a single bullet.
Individually the sprites are nice, but it's hard to tell what's what as everything (objectives, loot, enemies, terrain) all blends together. I like the PC sprite a lot though, he's rad.
This is a great start to a fun little game. But did you really make it for ludum dare? Didn't really see the theme and I would guess it took more than one weekend to make!
Yes,the theme is that the action is in a cave belowvthe surface,a mine with rails. And we have slept about 8 hours those days. I was doing streaming in twitch as proof ;-)
Well this is the most unapologetic on-rails-shooter I've ever played and it's not bad!
The gameplay is hectic and fun, but I do have a few complaints.
The player hitbox is a tad too big. If enemies come outside of the screen, around corners or spawn right next to you there is too little time to react before they collide into the cart.
I'd prefer a secondary single shot attack which only hits levers, or something similar, as accidentally shooting a lever multiple times is annoying.
Health pickups or, I can't believe I'm saying this, regenerating health might also work to reward skillful play even more.
Wow! the animation on the character is amazingly well done! hats off man! the gameplay's really good too with a nice difficulty gate mechanic good stuff :)
Nice concept, and great art! It was really fun to just mindlessly shoot at everything that moved. I was kinda missing an overall directive though, I was not really sure if I was trying to get to a certain point in the level or just had to make as many points as possible.
Pretty novel idea. It needs some polish, for example when you lose a life you teleport with no feedback -- at first I thought the game had glitched. But definitely has potential.
Nice graphics! How the health is represented is really cool, but not all that practical... The game is good, but since the bullets go through enemies, it's hard not to shoot those scepters...
Very cool and fun. Of course graphics are great, sound also, but what I liked most was the playability and the fun when blasting monsters :) Do you intend to develop that further? I can totally see this on the playstore :)

Really fun. Good job :)
The game was a little slow.

Pretty fun game, I would have liked to have some more mechanics, but what you had there was good. Good job :)
I can focus on killing and shooting instead of steering.
Like the badass guy in the cart too!
Love the level-design, among other things :)
