Nice game. Reminded me of Blaster Master for the NES.

That thing was too hardcore for me! =)
Graphics is pretty simple, but there's something adorable in this minimanistic style.
I liked music the most. This ambient is really moody!
Good work guys!

I like the graphics and the mood! Please make a mouse aim + WASD move control (qwertz keyboard here) :D

Nuclear Napalm: Weird, I'll have to look into why this isn't working, thanks for letting me know!

BitOfGold: I'll make sure to update the controls on a post-compo release in order to accommodate more peoples arrangements, thanks for the feedback!

And thanks to everyone else's feedback so far. Glad you all liked it! :)

Well it took me quite a few deaths to get past these 10 first seconds of action :D

Beautiful game which handles extremely well.

Nice job, really liked it - but x and z is really an awkward combination on qwertz ;)

Great work. I couldn't get past the sand boss though. :( but your gameplay is spot on :)

Dat worm was sooooo hard

Though short, this game feels polished, and it seems like you have a nice engine to build on.

Realy nice shot !
Absolutely fan of the art, btw !

It's a fun game, cool sound.
jsspiegel29 Aug 2014, 01:22
Felt insanely frustrating to have to restart after being one-hit-killed, but the roll animation was perfect!

I really liked the creature design and the graphics! This game has some nice tunes too. That flippin wormy worm is so unforgiving, I couldn't get past him! D: I could probably get past him if I had lives maybe...maybe

Great entry - rolling and shooting felt really smooth, and the visuals were simplistic but very fitting. The hitbox on the worm was little punishing though :P

Thanks for your comment and stream earlier :) I took notes while I play so here they are:
- There is no need to make loading bar 3D if it fills up in 3D :)
- I liked the story at the beginning, nicely written.
- Not very necessary but you could put a little shadow under creatures.
- I loved the gameplay and boss mechanics together with the graphics. They need more work but they have a style.
- The game is quite short for 72 hours in my opinion.

This reminded me of Titan Sould a little :) Very good entry!

WTF the 3d loading bar is loaded 2d!

Nice story intro, made it feel more like a real game (instead of an arcade game like most games here are)!

Well-done graphics and sfx and cool music! I like the fact that it had boss battles - not many LD games do that. I wish it had a bit more variety of enemies - everything before the boss is really easy. Those little critters latching to you are unintendedly adorable though, haha.
