Such a good game! Well done for that.

Wow! I like it! *_*

Great entry! The pacing, level up system, different enemy types, and shield abilities were all really well done. Surprisingly gruesome.

Really good job on this game, full of interesting contents ! Love how the "good gus" are talking to us in a heroic way, really funny ! And it gets really hard in the end, a good challenge !

I would have like an item attracting capacity though ;)

The game is really cool, the gameplay is fun and challenging, the npc quotes are really funny. Great job ^^

slimabob12 Dec 2016, 19:59

Really cool game with an awesome art style, and great humor! My one complaint is the difficulty spike on (what I assume is) the very last level. Everything was very easy until that one, and then the screen is filled with enemies and it's extremely hard.

Anyways, great work!

Great game lots of fun, quite difficult but that just makes is better

timgarbos12 Dec 2016, 19:59

Neat! Polished and elegant.
It's a little slow in the beginning after I die. If you add a skip intro or something I'll play again ;)

oskardevelopment12 Dec 2016, 20:02

I always like games where you play the villain! Nice music and graphics, great that you followed the theme. Nice game and thumbs up for Java!

TheMightyTeam12 Dec 2016, 21:26

Great entry. It is nice to have two different keys for firing (I cannot use space and two arrows at the same time because of keyboard ghosting).

Yamzho12 Dec 2016, 21:55

Holy crap ! This is a compo ??? Well done !!! Game is really neat !

harusameauthor12 Dec 2016, 21:59

Thank you for comments :)
Yes this is a compo :)
I've run out of time to add more content like a big boss or a super-power but I'm satisfaying with the result.

(I have hardly slept during these 48 hours to make this game ^^)

Wow. Simple but very good game. +1 for the skip intro ;)

Very nice game !

Flaterectomy14 Dec 2016, 21:42

Quite fun and charming! Lots of content to it as well, with the abilities and different potions, etc.

Music is suitable, sounds are all right. Graphics are good and cute. Gives it lots of charm. Something I may play again.

patrickgh314 Dec 2016, 23:34

All-around good entry. A bit challenging for me. I like the short text at the beginning.

Serval Games15 Dec 2016, 19:29

Cool Music! :)

Edeter15 Dec 2016, 19:37

I love this game (")>

Afendar15 Dec 2016, 21:47

Good pixel art game. Concept is interesting ! well done. Good mechanic. Continue your idea, Add some magics actions ;).

HoraceRIBOUT16 Dec 2016, 00:42

Polish, gradualy difficult and fun ! It's a great game ! The only one think who bother me was the unability to shot in back when running away from ennemies.

David Cookie16 Dec 2016, 11:23

Mwahaha, this last wave is IMPOSSIBLE! xD
Maybe the game I had the most fun with, and one of the most complete one. Really great job!

harusameauthor16 Dec 2016, 12:51

Thanks all !

I work on a new version with more enemies, more powers and more waves.
(And an option to skip the intro)

Pietro Ferrantelli16 Dec 2016, 18:41

Quite complete game, really neat entry, pretty strong in each aspect and really fun gameplay. I especially love the different kind of enemies. Really impressive for compo

My Sweet Whomp16 Dec 2016, 21:15

This game rocks, classic but super smart and efficient! Super polish too, we're super impressed.

ChatPion16 Dec 2016, 22:15

I don't know if it was just me, but I can't shoot and go to the top left, and that really ruined my experience, even if if it's a solid game.

harusameauthor16 Dec 2016, 22:23

You are the first to say that, you play with WASD ou arrow keys ?

Can you try with arrow keys ?

What is your OS and java version ?

tinyworlds17 Dec 2016, 23:43

Cool entry! Great pacing and level of difficulty.
The pixelart is kinda cute, the music fits.
I like it ^^

Pierrec18 Dec 2016, 10:15

Woah! really fun!

SinclairStrange19 Dec 2016, 12:54

Fantastic! I really enjoyed this game, really fun, fantastic graphics. Simple but extremely well made and most importantly fun! Great stuff! ^^

DevForPizza20 Dec 2016, 12:37

Good job but the shoot direction isn't intuitive, the dialog of enemies is funny

Siegfried Croes20 Dec 2016, 21:44

Really well made game! You didn't do anything that special with the theme but that doesn't matter, you did a great job!

mirta00021 Dec 2016, 16:29

a very nice little game. Enjoyed it very much. Love the fact that shots are not instant.

Jupiter_Hadley21 Dec 2016, 16:42

Fun, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/OCZRRN3xYEY
