I'm sorry I didn't end up being able to compose any background music for this game.
Maybe next time.
Anyways, enjoy!

I liked the game, the graphics were smooth, simple, and good at the same time. The gameplay was okay, movement is a little weird, but overall it's a pretty decent game.
7.5/10

Hey nice little shooter ! Good idea to use the enemy to give you more time to play.

Nice little idea, though it does have a few glitches and the screen changing sizes sort of bothered me. I featured it in a Ludum Dare 27 compilation video, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-HQ96z_y-M

Nice little game. Controls get a bit weird and the player gets stuck a bit. But really fun!

The movement was really awkward, but I was able to get up to 800 points before getting bored.

Pretty basic... I mean, a small twist of some sort or some change in pace might have been good. As is, it just doesn't stand out much from a generic top-down shooter.

Fun game, movement was a bit odd at first but I got used to it.

Fun game. The time pressure makes it quite addictive. It would be nice if one could walk diagonally though.

The concept isn't very innovative, but it's executed correct. So good job. Kinda lame when I die because the time-adders don't spawn though :(
