Fun to play, with great visuals and sound. Love that music! Definitely fit the theme as well. Awesome job!

Simple fun AND social commentary. What more can you want. :-) Correct Z ordering of sprites maybe? :-P

The background music is AMAZING. sfx were a bit loud and sharp.
Overall it was an okay game, there weren't many interesting mechanics at play, it was a simple 2D sidescroller shooter. The game would have benefited from more mechanics that were specific to hippies/flowers. Keep at it! :)

Simple mechanics but the atmosphere is so charming...

That was thoroughly enjoyable. I felt the difficulty ramped really well, and I had to scramble on the boss level so I wouldn't lose any lives.

Well done!

Was pretty fun to play =). Fit the theme nicely. The music was really entertaining.

Music was excellent. The game was well made, if a bit simple. I would have liked to see a bit more enemy variety or movement patterns. Good game though!

Haha cool idea, too bad the gameplay isn't very dynamic. The music was nice though, I enjoyed it!

It's a pretty game!

Haha, converting soldiers to hippies was great, the guitar made me laugh when it first appeared!

I am just disappointed that our hero is also using a gun... Can she not lovingly throw the flowers at the soldiers instead?

Thanks for your comment!
You have a really cool game and the music is perfect. This theme is a very interesting idea. Reminds me of a scene in Watchmen.

u liked the game idea and graphics! but the "pew pew pew" sound was a bit loud and annoying
Cstudios23 Apr 2015, 20:46
a little bigger variety of gameplay would be welcome. The graphics are nice, the projectiles are funky. I like the green line drawn after the shot flower. Nice work!

Classic idea, but it's very entertaining, and the music is great, but the sound effects were too loud

Cool game. Few things to consider though:

- Randomize the shooting sound effect (and I guess visual effects, it would get less boring less quickly ;-)

- Characters should overlap according to depth

- Maybe some leveling of the weapon (adding spread or automatic fire) would make the progress actually show, and more addictive.

Solid shooter with nice graphics. I was surprised when the enemies didn't shoot at me (at least in the first 5 levels). Varied enemy attacks and movement patterns would go a long way to making a more exciting and dynamic experience. As is, the difficulty ramped up a bit to slowly for me and there wasn't enough variety from level to level.

Nice entry! Graphics are nicely done and made me remember some old DOS games I played when I was younger. :P Also, nice work with sound, in both soundtrack and fx!

I think that, if you had more time, you could make this one an even greater entry! But this game is fun and nice to play as it is right now! :3

Great work! :D

Having said that, one more thing:
Vão na fé e continuem, muito bom ver jogo brazuca por aqui, muito bom ver ideias surgindo daqui! :)

Really fun take on the theme, and great graphical style.

I think the game would benefit a lot from a bit more depth: maybe weapon powerups, and enemies with some more behaviour (shooting back, moving up/down, etc.)

Great job!
