Fun arcade game but I found the controls to be a bit confusing. I kept wanting my character to shoot in the direction I pressed instead of shoot in the opposite direction and move in the direction I pressed.

End of story.

Fun little arcade game. I found myself having a little trouble with the controls (no fault to the game).

The graphics are really nice and it's pretty fun too :) Could see an iOS version becoming popular easily

Way to go you guys! It definitely could have used some sweet music, but as it is it's an A+ game!

Very good! As someone who made a game for the first time, I can't imagine how you did this in 48h

Such an awesome game! The concept and graphics were top notch. Also, I loved that the controls weren't super easy at first. I like being able to practice and get better with interesting control schemes. Nice work!

Super fun game! It took me a while to get used to the left/right movement/shooting thing - I guess my mind gave shooting priority to moving - but when I got the hang of it I had a blast! I do wish it had an awesome soundtrack though!

Amazing art, super great feedback/gamefeel, fun concept! Great job!!

The most fun game I have seen so far! It plays perfectly smooth, the sound effects are perfect and even the take on the theme is fun!

Congratulations!

This game is so fun and challenging! The art is gorgeous, especially the laser effect. Too bad it didn't have some arcade-y chiptune music, but definitely one of my favorites for this jam.

Great job and congrats on the game!

Incredibly funny. One of the most addictive games that I've played this LudumDare. Not really much connection with the theme, but a great game. Love the polished graphics and effects.

Since I'm beginning to learn HaxeFlixel I'll take a look at your code. Thanks!

Is it wrong for me to say this would have been awesome in the FlappyJam a few years back?

Joking aside I fell in love with this concept as soon as I saw the screenshots on the Haxe Ludum Dare roundup. Brilliantly challenging with some really good opportunities for strategy. Graphics are small and detailed enough for clarity and look decent, all that's missing is a kickass soundtrack!

Amazing realization, it's really polished and very fun to play :D
I fail to see how this is tied to the theme outside of the story tidbit in the description but otherwise it's real good!
