Bass is a hero with a vision to enhance the world with the power and love of the bass sound, and what better way to do so other than using his trusty DUBSTEP GUN.... an unconventional weapon? Maybe... But his arch-nemesis Treble is highly affected by it, especially her creepy minions.
Controls: Spacebar - Hover upwards (jump) QWER - Shoot dubstep waves (watch for the cool-down on the bottom-right) Enter - DROP THE BASE! (check the base meter on the top-right)
Cool idea, I liked the simplicity of it and the graphics. The r ability seemed on too low of a cooldown though and the differences in the abilities weren't enough imo. Cool game overall.
@Tortoise: We also got feedback from friends that the R ability needs a higher cooldown so you don't spam it so we'll do that. About more differences in abilities, we'll try to think of even crazier ones :)
@TeamCalcium: The words "original concept" really made my day ... actually it made my month, thanks :)
You opted-out the sound? Why? Okay after 2 minutes one has to turn down the music but I would have scored 3 points minimum. The game itself is a good submission for this LD and I had fun while playing it. Thank you! :D
@Prowler: We used free dubstep samples that we didn't own or make, so we felt it would be fair to opt-out of that. I asked people on IRC and they were unsure whether the "derivative work" section in the rules apply to the jam too or just the compo :S
An Excellent Integration of Music and Gameplay and a very nice take on the theme. I like the ever increasing basic soundtrack that changes its pitch with the height at wich the player hovers. I liked how constantly begged to use the "Drop It!"-Ability and how the change in music made it feel über-awesome (allthough it's just a kill everything on screen). The degredation back to the normal tune could be a bit more gracefull. In fact this game would be even more awesome if the tunes changed over time, getting fuller and faster, and the game with them, rising in difficulty.
I felt the game needed some extra polish, particularly on juice for feedback on hitting enemies, tighter controls (fall faster, rise faster, immediate reaction), and adjustments on hitboxes. Bass in particular felt like it was really large.
I think the game mechanic is alright. It's just a matter of polish from there.
azerty ... okay we didn't expect that :D But you could remap the keys in the windows version using Unity's launcher :) And we opted out from audio because we used free Dubstep samples that we do not own.
I've always loved games that combine a music element with the gameplay! (It always makes me wonder, what if your score was determined not just based on your gameplay, but the quality of the music you make while playing, just an interesting thought!)
It's an overall pretty fun game! If I were to be a little nit-picky, some things you could add would be a little more feedback. For example, some sort of animation or flash when the enemies die instead of just disappearing. And when you try to fire a weapon that isn't ready yet, you could have a sound effect that communicates that it's not read.

I'll put the controls on the entry page here.

That electric attack looks pretty epic too!
