I didn't see that "contents" included music.
I scratched it entirely. (commented everything music related actually)
So you might see things related to music in comments, but they are not included anymore.
Sorry...

This game was definitely worth the download. Very well produced, however it is way too hard.

Really good audio-work here! The game seemed to be running to fast on my computer and made it hard to play. Nice game though

It's a very interesting concept and I like the idea of having to throw yourself in front of green bullets as a red triangle to save the elder, but it starts off very difficult, in my opinion. I didn't last long. Maybe I'm just bad at games :P Needs some tweaking, ramping up to higher difficulty as the game goes on. The music was good, I liked it and it fit well to the gameplay/story.

Interesting idea for a shooter. Spacebar should skip text, I didn't realise enter did it at first and sat there waiting like a noob. Using ESDF instead of WASD felt very wrong to me, making the arrow keys also work would have been nice. I wish there was a way to skip the tutorial and get back in the fight quickly after I died.

The music is epic and the action is frantic. Great job!

A truly amazing audio effort and pretty fun gameplay to boot. nice to see some narrative structure in there too. Would have been nice to restart on the same stage I died on, this discouraged me to replay.

Hey,
The mood is great!
However, the game size isn't minimalist (especially on dropbox) :p Maybe you should find a faster host...
Good game!

Great! The graphics are very simple, minimalists :)
I like the audio as well, it gives to the game some mood.

Thank you all for your comment, but I must apologized.
I didn't actually remembered that contents included music, so I scratched it entirely.
I am really sorry.

Thanks for your comments though.
But the game must have lost charms without the music. D:

Also, for the ESDF thing, that is for the QWERTY/AZERTY users alike (I'm personally on an AZERTY keyboard).
If I had time, I would have make two buttons at the beginning of the game, one for QWERTY users, the other one for AZERTY users. But... Oh well. :)

I voted 5 stars to Audio. Sometimes silence is a choice.

Wow, pretty difficult when the triangle comes in. But I loved the mechanics!
