my best score was 6. i found this game hard, but not difficult. i couldnt dodge enemies or see where they were while jumping. also the mouse controls were hard to use. i liked the art though and the sound.

only can get max 12
while the game itself not bad, but its too difficult, the player seems a bit too close to the camera
thus can't see well on the enemy, the movement speed too fast
the enemy also too stick to the player, theres should be clear space between enemy and player, thus player still can shoot if the enemy get too close to the player

Pretty fun! Bullets should go in the angle of the mouse cursor and not just straight left and right if you want it to be more fair.

Challenging, but hugging the corners and spamming the mouse is too easy of a strategy. I also agree with Ghen, the enemies are too fast for how close the camera is. Graphics were very nice.

The enemies are too fast to be able to get away and shoot them, but other then that, it's a pretty nice game! :)

I got 13 points. The hard thing for me was:
-you can't controll direction in the air
-you can't see where the beam will hit (some warning would be maybe good)

But All in all i like the game. The graphics are really cool. I just think that the 2 enemys don't fit together (art style)
Thank you for programming I liked the game!

Alot of complaints about the game being to fast. But in reality, its just as I intended. If anything I wanted it tobe faster. But when my friends played it on an even faster version than the current. It was brutal. So, everyone is actually playing a much slower version of the game.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Cool game and amazing sprites! Really gives me that Vlambeer vibe.

Though I figured out the game became pretty easy when you just stand in the corner and keep shooting.

It's so fast, dawg! Like fast bullet hells are cool, but I feel like this game needed a bit more care in it's pacing. Like, maybe making sure the enemies spawn farther away from you, making different enemies have different movement patterns (like perhaps the meat guys could hop like fleas), and slowing it down a bit would kind of increase the agency of the player while maintaining a high level of challenge.

Unfortunately I cannot run your 64 bit executable on my 32 bit system.
I would have loved to, I am a fan of SMB as well and your screen shots sure look fun!

I have to say, opening the game gave quite the shock - the spawning sound is quite loud!

Otherwise a fun little shooter. I was trying to decide the best strategy between continuous jumping and spawn camping the left side. Neither were terribly effective! High score of 8.

Game is great and very fast paced. Sound effects are decent. Controls are also smooth. Very good submission.

Fun little survival game. It's definitely super fast, but I think that makes it a bit fun. I feel compelled to beat my high score =P
I hope to see you make more games!
Would also love some feedback on mine if you have the time ^_^

Hi! Very cool visuals. It was very hard when moving around but super easy when i stood in the corner. Impressive submission, keep it up!

I'll be adding some new sound effects next update. Will also make it a little bit slower (about 10%), and a way to not farm in a corner. I would do it now, but I'm in school.
GLAD EVERYONE IS ENJOYING IT!

I keep dying almost instantly and having to restart.... it'd be a good improvement to spawn the player somewhere that they are safe from immediate harm. Otherwise, it looks ok.
