Fantastic game, but I never made it past the Big red-horned fellows. Gonna give it some more shots.

Achieved a 6370 score, had fun ! Must admit that I first glance, I thought the big red horned was a.... hello kitty skeleton ><

Choas time!
Really fun game.
But it seems that most of my shoot pass throught the boss...
(no problem against the peons)

Really good game, the drop shadows are a bit confusing though. Great Work!

Reminded me of those iOS twin stick shooters that had similarly blocky heads, but with an interesting powerup system. The sfx were a little loud, and there were a few collision detection problems with the boss(I think he wasn't being damaged by the fireballs at max speed), but other than that, great game!

Awesome! After playing the webversion I downloaded the game, and it plays a lot smoother. Great graphics and nice difficulty-curve!

Damn, that was so good! Really fun, really challenging. Managed to get to 8760, love the upgrade system, the game would be awesome if expanded upon, amazing visuals too!

super addictive for sure! Difficulty does escalate rather suddenly. It was nice and calm when suddenly I was surrounded by about 15 skeletons! Overall, I enjoyed it.

Smash TV + loud fireballs for the win! Great aesthetic and very fun. I like the slow pace this game has compared to typical games in its genre.

great job, sounds are a bit grating, but other than that they fit in well with the terrific voxel style graphics, excellently presented, great job!

This was really fun, but I felt it could use more powerups. Graphics were great as well as audio, though a song would have been nice. This entry was spectacular, but at one moment I got surrounded by a bunch of dude really rapidly and died. There's no heals! not that I could find.

Solid entry! I really like how the bad guys spawn. The random walls are neat as well.

It's a really fantastic game, I especially love the art, it's simple but also so polished, all the effects and the lighting is really pretty and the games has a good feeling.
One of my favorite so far! :D

It's very nicely chaotic.
I think the walls could spawn faster; it didn't feel like a dungeon, but a square room.
The area outside of the dungeon, on the left and right, glitched out on me... looked like typical jumbled glitchy stuff. I didn't notice it for a while because of all the explosions. This was on Firefox.
Sometimes it seemed like the bosses weren't getting hit unless I released the mouse button and started firing again.
Finally, I'd prefer more distinct powerup icons; it's hard to remember what the letters mean.

Holy mother, this is awsome. It´s so enjoyable to shoot the s*** out of everything!
First i had some trouble hitting the big guy. I was pointing at his head not the body, but I got quick.
I also really love the pixelated 3d graphics. Reminds me of the good old psx times :D. Ludum Dare done right!

needs a way to toggle sound:P also there seems to be an annoying bug where the big ones just go straight over my fireballs.

Felt like a great frantic dual stick. Gameplay was pretty tight. I personally like dual sticks where the movement is a hair more on the floaty side (just a hair) but I could see where moving too fast would be too much for the smaller room.

After playing some of these entries, I also appreciate the simple controls.

Was there a way to heal? I kept picking up A/B and just powerups.

Good job!

Too simple. And awful controls. As visually and addictive is very good thing.

Really cool game! Seems like you may have gone overboard with the effects as the shadows and explosions often got in the way of my visibility. But the polish is super appreciated, especially for a jam game!
Could be really cool to develop this further with more attack options, enemy types, etc.
Great work!

One of my favorites so far. Looks, feels and sounds great. Blowing stuff up is satisfying as it should be. Only thing I missed was a bit of screen shake.

Really fun game and the explosions look great. Big smile on my face when I noticed they bounce :) nice feature. I didnt ever understand what the B did though. The coin sound is a little annoying :P. Scored 5090 :D Great game, will be digging through the source code later to learn some!

Hi there. This is great ! Great graphics, effects and sounds. Nice voices... Generous health and damage. Massive difficulty spike when you get first powerup. The boss is fun, but hard. Bookmarked for another look later. Nice one!

Well, you called it. Explosions. This was very awesome though. Surprisingly fluent gameplay for something that was only worked on for a weekend. It looks refined in some ways! Good job!

My favorite game so far! It reminds me of a game I use to play with my friends back in high school called Boxhead but on one screen, more simple, but more hectic. Absolutely loved it! Like to see you do more with it!

Damn, that was a ton of fun! Love the arcade style gameplay and the waves of enemies. Controls felt good and the difficulty was just high enough. Very well done :)

这个游戏完成度很高,2天的时间利用的太好了。
画面风格非常赞,不过射击的音效不好听,总体来说真的很好
