Cool beans!"},{"author_name":"johnbrynte","author_uid":"47137","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 9:14pm","epoch":1418072940,"text":"Sleek look and nice gameplay!

I like the enemies and their bullet patterns. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had some trouble prioritizing between focusing on my ship or my aim because the gun fires in a perfect line. I would kind of create my own spread shot by jiggling the mouse, but maybe a little bit of innate spread on the bullets would help?"},{"author_name":"LeReveur","author_uid":"7170","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 2:20am","epoch":1418436900,"text":"Beautiful fireworks effects, and fluid animation !

Could do with a little more visual feedback when you hit an enemy (and when the player is hit), but the controls were really tight and it's all quite visually appealing."},{"author_name":"TyrusPeace","author_uid":"5305","time":"Dec 24, 2014 @ 8:40pm","epoch":1419453300,"text":"Very solid shmup with some pretty cool enemy\/bullet patterns. The colorful aesthetic works really well, too. Nicely done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>At first I only got hit by things that did 100% damage, but once I did manage to get hit by bullets, I definitely found it hard to notice. Some sort of effect would've helped that quite a bit.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the squoosh effect when you fire your weapon :)."},{"author_name":"Ken Scott","author_uid":"40496","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 5:08am","epoch":1419829380,"text":"Not much new in the way of ideas, but it looks great and has a refreshing variety of enemies. I agree there needs to be more feedback when the player gets hit, since you have a life bar but the game acts like it is a 1-hit with a tiny collision box."}],"images":["ld31\/7085-a05c09a559530ef6b37c4cc148c2f9a0.jpg","ld31\/7085-8a10074203f75626bd5b1f156f5c45bd.jpg","ld31\/7085-073d0b0c896a90943e828af67754cc27.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/jacobkeane.co.uk\/projects\/ld31\/","text":"Web (Unity)"},{"url":"http:\/\/jacobkeane.co.uk\/projects\/ld31\/SpaceFireworks3kShmup_Windows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/jacobkeane.co.uk\/projects\/ld31\/SpaceFireworks3kShmup_Mac.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/jacobkeane.co.uk\/projects\/ld31\/SpaceFireworks3kShmup_Linux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/jacobkeane.co.uk\/projects\/ld31\/src.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15204","g_author":"7085","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"15234","g_title":"Space Fireworks 3000: The Shmup","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"227","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7085-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7085-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7085-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Space Fireworks 3000: The Shmup!\r\n\r\nIt's a shmup!
