Attack of The Heavenly Bats by Sos
This was supposed to play a bit like Jazz Jackrabbit (obviously it doesn't).
It's a platformer reverse bullethell shmup.
There are ten weapons to obtain in this game, each has to be bought for cash found throughout the level and inside enemies.
Weapons however, are not switchable (that was the intent), so once you obtain a weapon, it will shoot, every time you press X, eventually shooting all 10 weapons simulatenously.
The goal is simple: find the nuke, the ultimate weapon (you can additionally search for Winner's Roomthingie when you get it)
The plot
Uhm... seriously? OK. You are a wannabe Metal Slug boss monster, and you have to stack up on weapons to get someone to even bother to draw your face properly.
Since, the weekend ends Tuesday for me, I might probably participate in the jam, so if you're an artist and like this, please contact me, or just draw stuff.
Also, if the flash is not working, please try tommorow, since I need to replace the embed code, but I'm too busted for now.
EDIT:
I changed the embed thingie, and now it works! Also,
!!! BUG WARNING !!! DO READ !!!
If you jump in a 1-block high passage (esp. the one you made yourself) you will get STUCK FOR LIFE. I'll fix that in a jam version, sorry :(

I got stuck between the floor and a blue block, though... =(
Need to tone down the upwards jump speed and aggressive bounce off the ceiling, but it's compulsive regardless :D
Good job :)
The movement was a bit annoying, I think the player should have at least a little momentum when going left or right. You stop too abruptly which often made me miss platforms.
Somewhat weird jump but otherwise plays very good. I love that you can shoot the coins down and they don't get lost.
You can get stuck though if you die with lots of money and can't afford the next essential weapon.
Rock solid entry!
The announcer voices that play when you get a new weapon are killer.
The turtles look like armadillos, tho.
Frustratingly though, I got stuck in a cloud right before the boss! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/kenmo/heaven.png
