You have to shoot - things - all of them.

If you can't get past first level - try playing with your hands instead of feet.

Cucamber is a douchebag.

This game put a smile on my face. Very charismatic characters, great music and sound. The mouse controls are a bit strange, but I got used to them after a little time, and I can see it working better on a touchscreen.

Beautiful graphics, and music. Loved the choir voices. Definitely the most stylish game I've played so far. And the person who said it was too easy, must be a lot better at it than me!

Fantastic art and audio, and the gameplay was very engaging too. Somewhat weak thematic interpretation, but that's easy to overlook when everything else is so strong. Side note: I tried to go to your soundcloud page via the link in the game but for some reason I'm just getting a blank page with the soundcloud toolbar at the top, and it still happened even when I took the s out of https:// or typed in the address manually. I wanted to follow you. :(

Anyways, great work!

Very professional. The graphics and sound is really cool. For my skill it is however a little too hard. Maybe I'm just too tired from the weekend.

This is brilliant!

Neat art style. Not as excited about the gameplay. Aiming in particular felt overly difficult for no reason.

Very polished, nice work!! Might need to adjust the controls for android slightly, so your fingers do not obscure the player.

Strange and very cool. Unusual control scheme. Made me pretty confused, but don't take that as criticism!

Nice sounds, nice music. Overall, rather nice!
Sanguine
27. Aug 2013 · 15:06 UTC
As was said before, the audio and graphics are amazing. The game has a lot of personality and that sets a really nice mood. The controls could use some work though.
zanzindorf
27. Aug 2013 · 15:42 UTC
Fantastic work! I love the graphics and the soundtrack. The aiming is kind of awkward for a sidescoller. It would make more sense if you were defending something in the middle with enemies appearing on all sides. Lots of character and fun to play though.

Man, you are a FREAK! This is sooo good - that shooting mechanic is sick! Annnd great tunes as usual.

Score: 4320 :D

I don't think I am very good at this game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best motivation to stay alive is to keep the music going, and to keep seeing the funny random mission texts :P

The difficulty was certainly high, but after I got used to it I don't think it was unreasonable.

What else is there to say? Charming, super-polished, fantastic fun.
Zelen3d
28. Aug 2013 · 01:45 UTC
This is so epic! Best thing I ever seen. The mouse and shooting is a bit hard at the beginning, but the game is so good and random, that you just keep playing it. Plus, your game has so many extras that you don't find out at first.

Also, people: once the game is loaded, don't play right away. Wait at least ten seconds!
DaanVanYperen
28. Aug 2013 · 08:21 UTC
You have a talent for creating unique games with a distinct art style that are very clean and polished. Music great as always. Highest scores so far. Bravo!

One of my 3 favorite games of this LD. thanks a lot for the android version. your music and sfx are just crazy!!!

28. Aug 2013 · 12:26 UTC
Excellent game :) The controls are really strange and don't feel natural at all, but I guess it was intended.

The music & sfx are perfect :)

Unfortunately, the level stopped scrolling on my best run (though I could still shoot and move the butterflies): http://i.imgur.com/5017QsX.png No errors in the JavaScript console.

Love the funky feeling of this. The aiming and movement took some time to get used to, but I liked that you didn't go the usual route. Also this is the first game that made me nod my head to the music. :) Great game!

Just got a bit further and it gets very choppy in the harder levels. I have a pretty powerful setup. Maybe it's just a limitation of flash?

Awesome work man! Loved the art style, the sound (haha were those recorded with your voice?), and music! Hope you'll release it on Soundcloud too! (or maybe you already have but I've yet to check) I was a bit confused at the movement and aiming controls, but I eventually got the hang of it.
Great game! :D

Linux user high-five ^_^ awesome game :D Very polished, very finished, and the audio is great (potato, potato, potato)... Not my favourite control scheme of all time, but somehow the humour (crying vegetables) and sheer insanity mean that I don't really mind dying at all :)

You should have totally scored #1 on audio =)
I read in one of the above comments that linking to soundcloud through your game is not working correctly, maybe you can open it in a new tab rather than creating a new window? Not sure if it works, though ^_^
