The Last Man on Earth by h.attila
You are the sole survivor of an alien invasion on Earth.
Your sole purpose in life is to avenge your species.
Do you think you have what it takes?
The game turned out to be pretty hard. It requires very precise timing sometimes, so if you easily get frustrated with games, I think you might want to skip this one.
Also, sadly it misses a lot of features that I wanted to add but ran out of time - like animations for the enemies, backgrounds, transitions, more levels, etc.
I appreciate any feedback, but please keep in mind that it's my first LD game, so...
Anyways, thanks for playing!

Nice work, that aside. The graphics are chunky and fun.
I think the levels need some walls. It doesn't feel like a spaceship when the levels are open like that. A background would do wonders for the game as well.
Also... the aliens beat the army of humans, our weapons do nothing against them, and then a punk kid with a gun manages to take them out? lol :-)
I think the most important thing I've learned is that I should ask people to test my game on IRC/Twitter, or IRL. These things (reaction time, hitbox, level design, etc.) could have been fixed in a matter of minutes if only there were someone to point them out for me.
I will try to work on my graphics "skills" too. This was the first time I've ever used Inkscape, so there is certainly room for improvement.
This was my first LD, and it was great fun, so I hope I will be able to make a better game next year.
I will make sure to rate your entries in return. Thanks for taking the time to try out my game and I hope you didn't break your keyboards in frustration...
@caranha:
Well, I came up with the story in five minutes, so there ought to be some plot holes in it. I guess the army should enlist more punk kids then. :-)
The hit box for the player is too wide, i tried jumping onto a ledge but would hit against the corner and died as the hit box was so wide.
