Aw hell yes, the A600 was what all the *really* cool kids had. This would be the perfect deer simulator if you added the ability to shoot the potted plants!

This is certainly therapeutic, pretty fun too! Now all I need is a work-themed one...

It was super slow on Android with only one enemy every now and again, was that intentional?

At first the cards seemed to not matter, but then I died on level 4 without warning (I think because of them?); I'm not sure why, or what I was supposed to do in regard to their attacks other than shooting them. I also missed a target early on, and had to wait to scroll back through all of level 1, which was pretty frustrating. Nice artwork, and I appreciated the Karateka and other references in the background.

Very silly game. Thanks for putting this together!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

@Solifuge thanks for dropping by! Kitsch / silliness was our answer for this theme, which we didn't like at all ;)
In sequel we will put references to other games from ludum dare ;) Cheers!

Simple game but I think that can represent perfectly your frustration and you shared that with me when I miss the first developer of the game and I must wait until the camera reach him again XD

I don't know when the cards hit me, I need more feedback than change my life counter.

Congrats on your first LD! The backstory is kind of crazy, so that's cool, haha. The game itself is quite simple, but it works :) It looks & sounds alright, so all in all, good job!

Interesting concept, with nice graphics and sound :)

Pretty fun concept too, I can honestly say, that this is the first time I have played a game as a shapeshifted laser-beam-blasting deer on a mission of revenge ;)

Intensive tapping action! So, the goal is to destroy developers before voters hit them too much? :P That deer really got mad, poor developers. Managed to just get through the game on second attempt with one critical life left and voters around. The music set some nice sci-fi mood along with lasers cutting the air.

However, I don't know what the cards value was, what changed it or what effect it has. I tried to hit the posters on the wall but didn't notice it would have done anything. Anyway, the graphics were polished and had interesting subleties like moving toes. The explosions were also satisfying.

This is a premonition.

I think I will come back to this game after LD is over XD.

Fun game!
