Controls: Up Arrow - Shoot Up. Down Arrow - Shoot Down. Left Arrow - Shoot Left. Right Arrow - Shoot Right.
(Combine arrow keys for "cool" (not that cool) attacks).
W - Move Up. A - Move Left. S - Move Down. D - Move Right.
Tips: -Grab the green orbs on the ground. They give stat upps. -Every 10 seconds a new wave of monsters spawn. -The longer the game has been going the more monsters. -Monsters stats are all random, they also scale with time.
watch out for the 'crickets' they are mean.
Thanks for trying the game, feedback is welcome. Sorry for no Music, I couldn't make anything that wasn't repetitive and I didn't want to drive you crazy with a repetitive combat track.
further apologies: I screwed up and forgot to change the resolution settings so the screen is kind of wonky (its missing 20% of the scene). The entire playable area is in the shot though so at least there's that.
Pretty solid game, I would say the best improvement you could make would be to allow for rapid fire shots. If holding down the arrow key shot bullets nonstop, and the enemies took significantly more shots to die, the fun factor would greatly improve.
A little hard since you an only shoot up (I couldnt figure out a way to shoot in any other direction) I would add that you shoot in the direction of the mouse cursor.
This game is pretty cool, I liked the mechanics, and it felt quite complete for a Ludum Dare game. I would like to see some music in the game, but I understand the extreme limitations on time. It would also be cool to be able to shoot repetitively, as some people have already said, and be able to aim with the mouse. Good job though.

don't worry about the last minute details, we all messed up somewhere along the line.
