Great entry. I can see some connection with "our god lives underground" with the purposefully grainy art style and mood. Nice polish with the hair, blood, gunshots with trails and recoil.
So slick! Great shooter. Sometimes the mouse would get stuck, it was probably due to me clicking outside the games boundaries. Really enjoyed it still :)
This is great but it really, REALLY needs the ability to just hold the mouse down to shoot. A trigger warning about that potentially epilepsy-inducing flashing on the game over screen might not be out of place, either. xD

Thanks for the feedback, Crowbeak. I've added a warning about the flashing; good call. You're right about holding the mouse too: post compo version maybe! :)
Definitely agree that you should be able to hold down the mouse button. Great job with the feel/polish/effects, it's quite satisfying. The text between waves is also a nice touch, I think it actually adds a lot.
Not very innovative, but solid gameplay. Also nice animations and hair physics!

I actually like the 'press to shoot' rather than the 'hold to shoot' method, though I would like there to be an option on the keyboard itself. Using Space to shoot would be ideal.
That said, really like the game feel. Both the sound and visuals make it very satisfying to play. Now if only I could beat wave 6...
Such a nice feel to the shooting, I could not bring myself to stop. The art style is very nice as well. Body parts flying everywhere blood and explosions what else does a game need? ;)
Great shooter, loved the connections with your previous LD entries, camera could have been a little further out though as mostly I killed stuff off screen by spraying'n'praying ;)
+1 to the request for hold and shoot! I came back to check your entry after "our god lives underground" stuck with me for so long. I like this one too and you have a great way of bringing out atmosphere with audio and misting effects. another great game. :)
The feel of this game, especially regarding the gunshots and the alien noises, is really compelling. I'll have to see if I can make it to the end of this.
This is the best game I have seen so far for LD 30. I love the feel, the graphics, the chaotic combat, and the humor. Nice "juicy" feedback. I think the best part is the hair though. Nice touch.
Very cool! Love the blocky art, humour and the sound effects. The wind is creepy, especially.
Had issues with the mouse though, kept going too high and accidentally click on tool bar tabs in my browser. Perhaps if the game window was further down?
It lack of a little bit of intensity maybe with a soundtrack. Also a way to enlarge the field of view (maybe when you didn't shoot for example) could make the game more strategic, and less random.
Wow!! After hours of playing, my best was reach the Wave 7... wheee! \o/ That wave is insane!! hahaha... the game is pretty good in many aspects. Super cool entry :D
Really nice and hard entry! Lots of good work on the effects, shakes and though-through style of the game. Got a couple of waves down, but playing with touch-pad that was about as far I deemed possible. I'm hard pressed to come up with something constructive other than praise, but one possible thing that might make it more fun would be if one could re-up the health. Either by low chance spawning hearts from killed aliens or by long cool down health station.
Really fun shooter! Awesome graphics including the little details like the hair and nice screenshakes! Approach to the theme is surprisingly simple compared to your other games though.
Was hoping for some power-ups or lives but I understand for the time limit some things must be cut. Seems very old-school without those features. Got to Wave 4, didn't find any bugs. When you replay it a couple times, figuring out you can hide behind rocks and the enemies fire slower than you think makes it pretty strategic but only having four hearts means death comes eventually without perfect reflexes.
Nice game! A little suggestion: it would be great if movement keys could be modified (WASD isn't a great setup on AZERTY keyboards).

Is there a way to beat Wave 6 aka AAAAAAAAA?

The persistent enemy death decals and screen shake added a lot to the polish!

But for 48h it's technically terrific!
