Purotekotoru by Paladin

[raw]
made by Paladin for LD30 (COMPO)
Important note - If you're a person who *loathes* the idea of a 2 minutes tutorial level and want access to the full gameplay immediately, please press together at the same time the "B""A""N""Z""A""I" keyboard keys on the title screen.

Timestamp note for judges - Reuploded the game post-deadline to fix an issue with the move-o-meters. No feature or asset was added.

Cool game! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/ydSxZiryhsI

Guess I have a bit of asian blood in me, because I could hold my own against that wave just by myself ;-)

Really cool entry. Despite taking a rather literal approach to the entry, you managed to get rather unique gameplay out of it. Like in many other entries, a piece of music could have made this much better!

Nice mechanics..works well and it's very original but the bullets collision isn't good.. only few bullets kill damage you

Fun bullet-hell feel in the first level!

Being a mere mortal, I couldn't fill both move-o-meters using a joypad and keyboard after that though :P

After spamming keys for a while I couldn't get the move-o-meter above the second bar. "Tutorial" needs improving. No sound. Did not get to see any gameplay.

@kyyrma - Yeah, really has to cut some good stuff ( notably music, sound and voice acting in Engrish) to make it to the deadline, sorry!
@elkiwydev Actually I borrowed the idea from manic shooters where your hitbox is 1 pixel. You can see it in red in the middle of sprite. The lack of disclosure, however, can lead to confusion.
@Fliynpig5 Yes, sadly indeed. Would be the very first modification if I did a post-compo build.

Most keyboards can't check more than 4-6 letters at once. Mine is one of those. The game looked like fun but I couldn't complete the two move-o-meters at the same time.

I tried my damnedest to make it past the move-o-meter but couldn't get past the 2nd bar. READMEs offered no help there. Keybindings were in French maybe? Sorry.

Ok, since everybody has an issue with them, smoothened the move-o-meters and reuploaded.

After almost getting to the point of breaking my keyboard, I skipped tutorial and tried the first level. It's a decent bullet hell implementation. Thank you for your efforts. :)

I love the narrative you told. And I love how the worlds we're literally connected :)

Interesting mechanic and a good (literal) use of theme! Liked the funny little intro.

First of all: love the 'SPAAAAACE'!

It took me a while to get it, because I played the intro and then the game didn't advance. (the text balloons were still in the air and no enemies coming). After a restart everything worked OK.

Too bad that there was no sound, because it's a nice game.

I couldn't finish the game on my own, but I can't complain about the game being too difficult, because my game is too :D

Sweet game, got into a cave and started shooting away!

Sorry, wrong window :) No caves in this game. I loved the skip tutorial bit. Managed to meet the other connected planet but died pretty quickly afterwards :(

Cool game!
