good entry, quite like it overall, very well made.
The vertical shooting gameplay was a great idea, but the aiming system was a bit confusing, and it frustrated a bit the way I wanted to play it.
I wasn't able to defeat the last boss (who looks like some kind of Umib么zu).
Music and sfx are coherent with the graphics and create a good atmosphere.
with such a litle game-width, many time you have to stuck the extreme sides of he screen to shot your target.
Am pretty sure this game would be awesome with free mouse aiming with all angles Mr json ATAN2 allows you :)
And please i need more atk-speed !
Nevertheles, i love this entry especially the art, overall thumbs up!
BAD : Don't like controls (I have a trackpad) : Very hard to play.
Good overall !
The gfx are gorgeous and this chest scrolling idea is neat.
The game really lack some UI for bullet count and reloading. A floating text message is not enough. You end up having the feeling your shooting key dont work anymore ( some tic-tic sound would also help to get this no-ammo feeling ).
When you hit a monster the bullet stay frozen in the air, a small and fast impact animation would have work better.
I was not very fond of the loosing money instead of health mechanic. Having one million just give me the feeling I'm in a godlike difficulty mode with action replay ON.
The boss battle is especially a nonsense with all this big number damages decreasing a so large life pool.
Great work on character design and intro, this is a great heroine you have here she deserve a more badass name like Max Payne or Duke Nukem. Red Paindealer or Red Gutstamper... dont know I'm not good enough in english to find something that rock enough.
Anyway, great work despite the epic event that kept you separated, you did well :)
Really like the earn/lose money on shooting, with some refining as to fire cadence and difficulty (alas less money or a cost for missed shots) could become a really cool game.
We would love to enhance the game a little, I'll think of a v2 after hollidays !
Thanks to you all, we love you !
Great graphics and soundtrack! I like the idea, that your money is also your life ;)
Good work, keep it on :)
P.S.: You may want to redirect the "rate this game" button, so that it leads to this page instead of your profile ;)
The gameplay is a bit strange, especially the pace of the enemy bullets. Also, the fact that you cannot aim freely, even though you actually use the mouse cursor to aim... It's a bit weird and makes simple situations very confusing.
I loved the amount of details you put in this entry, very polished, both art, code & sounds. Well done guys :)
