Best concept i've seen so far. The wheel, the system. I love it. Really.

Keeps crashing for me, but that may be OS issues. Looks interesting enough though.

This game is amazing! It makes me cry how the art direction is so lush :)

Wow, that game had some trouble running. But it was good. Very good!

Awesome! Sadly, it started to lag pretty badly after 100 score or so

Nice simple design, controls were tight too. The highlight is the excellent artwork across the characters, environment and effects. However, the screen shake was incredibly obnoxious - it really took away from the power of the weapons and just added unnecessary noise to such an awesome aesthetic.

For some reason in had some trouble running on my machine - this rig can run Crysis...

Whoaa so pretty those pixels, as expected. You're da boss :)

(starting game in Win XP compatibility mode and it stopped crashing in Win8)

Looks good, suits your fairly abstract style well. I really didn't get much of the theme from this, felt more "restricted" than "you only get one" :)

That said, had a very good feel and other than a few big lag spikes, did what it said on the tin.

Agree with everyone here about the lag - which is a little annoying! But I can see without it, it would be a lovely addictive little game!

The level of polish in this is astonishing.
Awesome work!

BY THE WAY PEOPLE, THE "LAG" IS DELIBERATE. I PUT IN A SLEEP(30ms) WHEN A OBJECT EXPLODES FOR "JUICE", IT FEELS STRANGELY AWKWARD AND LESS SATISFYING WHEN IT'S NOT THERE SO I DECIDED TO KEEP IT IN. SORRY IF YOU DISLIKE IT BUT I THINK YOU'D DISLIKE IT MORE WITHOUT IT.

Graphics and audio are stellar, but once you look past the novelty of being confined to a single circle, there's not much unique gameplay to be had. That said, it's still fun.

Very interesting and fun game with great shooting effects!
Chris Mondok
16. Dec 2013 · 15:28 UTC
Looks cool, despite the vast array of colors used. I really like the movement on the wheel. I don't like that I can't see very far. I'm sure it's deliberate, but it's also annoying.

Oh man, so good. The graphics are incredible, and it animates so beautifully too. Great work. I like the game concept - definitely flesh it out into a fuller game like you were talking about on Twitter!

Nice game very laggy at times, which is strange because it doesn't look like there is a lot on the screen when it does it. The sound bugged out on death also.

A fast and actionful shooter that uses quite a few colour, but fantastic sprites, has a strange but strong mood, has only an endless score-hunting mode and that is always going to provide me some minutes of fun!

A big 5 overall!

Love the graphics and audio, and the controls were perfect; this makes for a great game!

very awesome graphics and music

I like the graphics! Gameplay was also fun. Maybe you should make it clearer when you're getting hit though, like with an distinct sound effect and screenshake. Also maybe an indicator of when you're about to die? Well, good job nonetheless :D

Looks very tasty, and felt very satisfying.

Art is amazing, as usual. Really liked the shooting effects. Unfortunately a fatal bug prevented me from getting too far.

I'm a huge sucker for the art and the feel, also the feel. Curvature in lazershots = nice!

Wow this is simply fantastic. Nice work.

Really nice art and I like the idea but I didn't really get hooked on the gameplay. The lag thing felt glitchy instead of like a juice effect. Could be really cool with some more polish :)

Look at those pixels!

Absolutely gorgeous, and I love the music. Playing this reminds of the SNES shmup Phalanx, for some reason, which then made me realize how mindblowing a shmup made by you would be.

But back to this game: it got surprisingly difficult for me quickly, but I still enjoyed it. If I play a bit more I'll get more accustomed to the controls and last a bit longer. Right now my high score is 48.

Great game with incredible amount of polish overall, unfortunately the theme seemed completely tagged onto it. Otherwise good game

A very polished entry, congratulations

Solid game. The shooting felt great. Artwork was awesome as usual :)

Stylish with very tight controls: didn't feel restricted while playing at all, which a lot of people tend to forget about for LD. :)

Nice mechanic, steampunk everywhere! Shoot-em-round? Nice overall! Though the connection to the theme is rather weak?
Keith Evans
17. Dec 2013 · 20:44 UTC
Awesome style! Nice effects for bullets, enemy deaths and camera. I had a couple of odd performance slowdowns but overall it was a really neat arcade shooter. Could have had a stronger objective which might have made it fit the theme better.

Looks great. Pretty fun and I like the gear mechanic too. No lag issues that others are talking about.

I'm getting a "... has stopped working" crash at random points which is kind of sad because it's a great experience up to that point. (Win 8.1 @ earlier comment)

Yeah, i'm sorry but i can't do much when it comes to win8. Win8 hates .wav and .wav is the best format that works best with win7/vista/xp

Very nice graphics. Mechanics is quite hardcore as it requires mouse and keys to work synchronously. Great job anyway!

I WON! i think.. and.. pretty laggy
Anyway, nice art style.

Also had the win8 issues, but very much enjoyed what I could play of it. Lovely spritework!

Super nice looking, plays nicely, and represents a great twist on typical shooter mechanics. Excellent work.

Unfortunately laggy, like the others already sad. Like the style, especially the glowing shots. Don't forget to link to the source of your game! :)

A bit shortlived, but has a nice and polished arcade touch to it.

AWESOME! - The art is so good it's a little distracting. I especially liked the glowing shots and the effects on impact.

Fun but a bit confusing. Not sure how I could be "better" than my previous score. Sometimes failure seemed arbitrary.

awesome! didn't knew you made games. always thought you "only" do art. Great game man!

Great art and effects! Having the movement restricted to a circle adds an extra layer of difficulty that I enjoyed. I felt the use of the theme could have been stronger, but the game is otherwise awesome.

Oops, forgot to rate this one when I first played it. GUDGRAFIX but much to my surprise the gameplay's tolerable too.

Love the colour pallet and the high level of detailed pixel art and animations. Very inspiring level of polish - impressive for 48 hours, rated highly! :)
