Really love the visual style. The controls felt great and responsive (especially jumping, which I appreciate!)

I like graphic and variety of weapon, but I feel like the movement is a bit off

Very fun. Didn't see a connection to the theme but maybe I just over looked it.

Haha awesome! The animations of the scientists are super funny. And destructible terrain! I kept playing for a while just to see all the weapons.

Ha, thisis great! Gameplay is nice, and the chractersare fun. Ilovehowit says "KILL" to start.

Having "shot" be on Enterthough is madness. I have to stop moving to actually be able to start contemplating hitting something

Nice! Fun super crate box-inspired mechanics. Nice art, loved the little taunting dance the enemies did when you died. Also agree that the KILL button was a nice touch, instead of START. Liked the destructible platforms too!
suggestions:
- less abrasive jump sound effect, maybe randomize it a bit too
- platforming physics could be improved a bit

Thanks rylgh! Those suggestions are definitely on the to-do list for the post-jam version :)

Graphics are awesome, the game is pretty damn fun too.
Some music would have been nice though!

It's a pretty fun arena shooter. I can smell a Super Crate Box influence.

Suffers from a lack of music though, and the sound effects are too much like bfxr factory presets.

The humans in this game spontaneously dance every so often ... and it is pretty hilarious. It felt like the little mouse jumps up a bit too quickly as I was having a hard time hitting anything that was less than 3 or 4 tiles above me. I liked playing with all the different weapon types.

Any game with flamethrowers is a good game

Very nicely done entry! Especially like the fact that certain weapons destroy the terrain, good twist!

Nice game! Sort of like super create box, though I was a bit shocked when I broke the ground under me!! I featured it in my compilation video of Ludum dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out http://youtu.be/PSym67k7zBg

The first comment mentions Jazz Jackrabbit, that's exactly what it brings me back to. Friggin love it.

Very, very, very nice feel to it. Really smooth.

For fellow testers: BEST PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER. It was awkward to use Enter to fire on the keyboard, but on a controller - pure joy. Got 38K score :) doesn't seem like the difficulty goes up eventually.

Advice: 1) get a friend / pay someone to make a soundtrack (it was really lonely without music, I put the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 soundtrack) 2) break free from the 10 seconds theme 3) submit on Steam Greenlight 4) PROFIT!!!

what AMAZING graphics!
And it does remind me of Jazz Jackrabbit as well, plus other old-school platformers!

Top marks for this, thanks for making it!

Holly f**k! I really love this game. It jumps just to the first place of my best-ld48-jam-game-ever!

You blocked your dropbox link (probably dropbox changed it links?) so we can just play the postcompo version on kongregate?
