Bug Buster by ConflictiveLabs
Your mission is to destroy those pesky little bugs and defeat Bichina, the bug lady!
Each level last 10 seconds but you can slow time at will (at cost of your score, obviously!) And after each level you can see an instant replay of how awesomely you killed each and every bug on real time.
Controls: Arrow keys or WASD to move, SPACE to shoot, CTRL to enter/exit slow-mode
If you play the PC version you can use an Xbox controller (or any PC controller) Left stick to move, A to shoot, B to enter/exit slow-mode.
The PC version also has AWESOME time-bending wibbly-wobbly sound FX so be sure to check it out!! (also close the game with ESC)
!! PRESS CTRL TO ACTIVATE YOUR MATRIX-ESQUE POWERS !!
NOTE: Updated with a last-minute bug fix.
NOTE2: And now we removed a DLL from the Windows release because it caused the game to run with no sound in some computers. If the game doesn't run at all in yours use the installer provided inside the ZIP.
NOTE3: Now with LINUX version!! (tested on Ubuntu 10.4, Xubuntu 12.04 and Gentoo)!!!!!!

The bullets are a bit difficult to spot on the background though, that makes it somewhat confusing
Be sure to use the character's time-bending powers (by pressing CTRL) for more awesomeness.
Good, sharp visual style! Nice theme. Fairly fun to play. Just wish I could skip through the replay, though!
My only nitpick - the parallax scrolling is in 2 diffeent directions... (makes me think we're flying in a giant circle >.<)
I relly like this game!
To top it off the art is simply gorgeous!
Great work!
My gripes are the visibility issues with the yellow starts popping off enemy's deaths, and the bullet's size/color that makes easy to not see them, especially with those pretty backgrounds flashing by quickly.
You know what? if you want to participate on the next ludum dare, i think i wanna work with you, so you may have sound effects and music for this! :)
I just wish it was a bit longer. :(
Great job!
hella jelly over here right now.
