Kind of confusing to play, I wish there was some sign that showed me I was actually attacking. The boss looked pretty cool though, and had some decent AI.

Piano you can tell that you are attacking when the hearts go down, but I get your point to make it move obvious.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on www.indiexpo.net ? It's like itch or gjolt.
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

nice idea, would need more work on graphism and sound but it's funny :)

@Freank thanks I can not add it when I go there I get "This website is under heavy load (queue full)

We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later."

Couldn't shoot even though left clicked, which defeated the hope purpose of the game for me. So I'll rate you on the things I can.

Otherwise - Great that you entered and I hope to see you for the next compo =)

@glaze_96 I guess I forgot to put that you have to be under it to shoot I did not know how to make it more real

The video really helped. At first i thought there was a bug because it wasnt clear what i needed to do. not too bad for another first timer, i definitely found the AI to be impressive.

Lol @masterkrepta the AI is simple it just goes back a forth and trys to hit you when you are under it. thanks if I have time i will try to play you game it looks cool.
