I should probably clean my keyboard as well now that I think of it.

Nice concept, I like these simple-controls bullet-hell type games. Very minimalist.

You know, after that glorious intro I've expected a bit more :/
But good anyway and first game i'm rating 5 for humor (for the arrow heressy!)

Funniest entry I've played by far :). Story went on a bit long in places but it was really well done. Couldn't get past the despicable arrow key horde unfortunately, will have to try again.

My keyboard really need to be cleaned ahah.
I really liked having so many enimies and a cool story. btw someone can find a little boring reading all that story (actually i do love story in games :) )

Quite comical, and for me that's what kept it entertaining. Not so good at bullet hell games myself.

brus46 That's why you can click to skip it. I like story in games too, but I find annoying not being able to skip it.

Thanks for playing :D

I love the civilization opening. LOL! I found your use of the theme very original :)

Great fun! Really good work. It wasn't always clear whether my missiles were actually hitting the enemy or being shot down just before the arrived - maybe you could make the enemies flash when they get hit or something? That didn't detract from the gameplay though. Again: great work!

Interesting little shooter, though I have to ask what dimensions you thought the web player would be played at? It is too big for my screen to play in browser.

Pretty freaking hilarious. The gameplay was so-so but you have a good chance at winning gold for humor. :-)

ratboy2713 I use a 1080p screen, sorry. The Webplayer it's in the "standard" 1024x768

demonpants Thanks!

This game in three words: Cool Story Bro!
Haha, loved the story, the way you embrace the theme is good as well, quite creative. And it delivers a fun experience.

Brilliant take on the theme! Music, presentation, everything is amazing! Fun game too. I couldn't beat the damn devils! I'll probably give it another go. Excellent, amazing, brilliant job.

Hilarious!
Pretty fun too, but a little too chaotic.

I like the multi-bullet-streaking style. I got "Good guys: -1" at one point so you might want to do a less-than-zero check.

The story is really cute, and had a great presentation :)

Wow, this was really fun!
I really liked how you can't shoot (since it's automatic) and, instead, you control the bullets.
Now, on to clean my keyboard... xD

It was fun but I didn't think it was as fun as some others said here. Maybe I just suck at the game but it was very difficult for me. Maybe I just didn't get it haha Good humor though :)

Awesome concept but gameplay is a bit clunky - if it were easier to dodge bullets (smaller hitbox/faster movement?) I think it would be a lot more interesting.

Haha - very well done! Excellent humor and mood. Excellent use of the theme. I lol'd several times while playing. There wasn't an incredibly deep amount of strategy in the actual gameplay itself, but overall an enjoyable experience.

Couldn't play. Unity Web plugin loads slowly and ends in error. Also, downloading stand-alone version is cut too early. Maybe I'll check this later.

Muhiz Thanks for the heads up. Im uploading a mirror build, just in case it keeps not working for you.

If this loads/works, you will be the 100th game I play! (Meant to play like 500 but my internet connection had other plans--like going on the fritz for a week!)

I finished the game :)
Nice story and the dialogs were fun.

I like how my bullets follow the enemy.
I wish my planet where smaller and moved fast so more dodging were involved.

I'd really like to play it but when I try to play the web version it says failed to download data file and when I try to play the windows version winrar gives me an error when I try to extract it or run it from in the zip file :(

Impressive! I did expect the enemies to have more strategy as I got later on, but the final boss was hard regardless. Nice mechanic, and although it was simple, it was very fun. I really enjoyed the humor and story, too. The misspellings are quite jarring to me, personally, but I noticed an ñ in the scrolling background so I'll allow it. Great game!

For a people whose planet originated in the midst of a keyboard, they sure tell their story with funny typos. I wish there was some info about controlling the shots with the mouse, because I spent some time thinking how useless the shooting was. Fun nevertheless.
