I like the game. Looks great. The idea is great. I would say that I would prefer the controls to be asdw and that they moved the char in the direction he is facing, not just up/down/left/right.

Like sharp911 I agree with the ASDW controls. I also liked the music in the background. The scaling of the difficulty was a bit too fast (remember most people will not attempt to be jedi-master as your your game :) )

I agree with @sharp911, WASD is much better.

Very cool. Being able to use asdw in addition to the arrow keys would make it a lot easier for those of us playing on laptops.

I too would like to play on WASD. The core gameplay is quite nice though.

That was quite exciting. Starts out slow but soon I didn't know which way to face. Being a Jedi is harder than I thought. UNLESS you just sit in a corner, out of the bots' reach ;) But I tried a lot of times before I cheated like this. Cool game!

The idea of this game is awesome. I would prefer the controls to be WASD as well.

The force was not with me. The difficulty goes up real quick.

Good game, only problem I had was the ability to walk off the side of the screen. Other than that the game was fun with nice visuals and good sound effects.

Loved it! Had trouble at first with turning the Jedi, but got it eventually. My force is not strong...

(Don't let Disney know you made this, lol)

Heh. Fun idea. I went into it thinking 'oh this is easy' and It got really hard really quick. The mouse look was a little awkward. But it might have been too easy otherwise.

I might have just went into the bottom left corner and allowed them to kill themselves while I got water, but a really fun game!

Very cool! I love the soundtrack haha and the gameplay is very nice too, the only thing, it was a bit complicated to play because I don't have a mouse but the game is very good :)

Fun game with good (simple) controls ! imho it could be a very good basis for a more polished multiplayer game.

Nice little game. Starts out easy, but gets pretty hectic real quick.

Sweet! Nice audio. Founds the controls tricky at first, but it gets easier as you go.

Very nice game, easy and fun to play. I like it when several robots at firing at you at the same time!
Congratulations! :)

All-round excellent game! The mechanic is really satisfying, makes a change from regular shooters. 5/5 from me.

Mouse seemed a bit too laggy for quick turning around, but great entry!

Awesome little game! Although if you position yourself in the corner, you basically become impervious to the lasers and can easily win.

Well, I suck at this. It gets hard real fast. I like it though. Great job!

Really fun. I enjoyed the first few seconds but the difficulty went up really fast. Cool idea.

Reflection angles dont make a lot of sense.

Projectiles are really small, making it extremely frustrating to hit anything.

Finished the game by standing in one spot and turning.

That was difficult. And excellent. Nice work!

Fun, but a little too easy, since you can just go to a corner and bounce all the bullets away without risk.

Fun, and good movement controls. once you get 3 or 4 of those grey orbys going it gets pretty nasty to try and cover your back he he

I like this idea. the man's sing is interesting.
I broke the game, just stand at a corner. :/

Nice idea. Controls are a bit strange at first, but overall it's pretty fun

Dude your game is awesome too! Minimalistic but efficient, that's what I like.
The only thing that bother me is the lack of feedback when hit by a laser ^^ But that's a detail
Great work !!

Fun game but the controls are a bit weird :-)
But this aside, it was interesting!

Well done!

Quite interesting!
At first very hard it seemed, but then ancient strategy of standing in corner found I.

LOL dat badass Yoda xD

Found it really hard the first run, but then discovered an easy way to beat em, just go as close as posible and aim is almost not required.

Anyways good job, it was funny and a very good entry for the compo. Well done!

This was hilarious. I loved the "music" and the Yoda quotes at the end.

At first I thought it was too easy, then the remotes started activating quickly and I retreated to the corner. Wasn't enough to save me though...

I liked it a lot! Could have used a "swing" move instead of the static saber, since the game is exploitable by simply running right up to the enemies. Also wanted to swing the lightsaber because WHOOOOOOM. Great entry! :D
