That was fun! My hobo compadres really helped out! It was a bit hard to aim but there was infinite ammo, which is always good. :)

Really fun! A few thing though:
1. Make him always facing your mouse
2. Make Right Click an aim so that you can see better
Loved the concept!

A little slow paced, and I feel like the aliens should have been a bit bigger for the size of your character, map, and mattress you are defending. Other than that it was really solid and the hobo compadre was an awesome feature! Very funny and very good idea

Was funny. Could you just always follow the mouse and spawn the projectiles in the right direction?

Fun! Would have liked to have been able to aim better (guy gets in the way). In the end I had a flight wing of about 8 compadres and it had gone dark a long time ago! Kudos for own engine and day/night cycle.
