Ludum 40 objectif

My first goal was to create a multiplayer game. I spent a lot of time on it because it was my first one, so the final game is not realy a game ^^. I worked a little this week to finish it without multiplayer part and submit V1.1.

Neat idea, a coin collecting arena where the coins themselves get shot by turrets and respawn, I like.

Training mode is a wonderful thing. The game lacks the history that would ensure progress. and for some reason I want gravity. A good prototype!

Nice little shooting game, I would imagine this would work really well as a multiplayer game! I like the minimalistic graphics, but if you added some basic sounds, that would help the general appearance a lot. The hardest thing for me was the key layout... For my keyboard, it was set to something like QZSD instead of WASD, and the arrow keys didn't work. Also, I'm not sure how well this fits the theme, but as long as it's fun, I don't care :P

The lack of sound (as feedback or background sound) is a real drawback for me :/

The game is not THAT fun, but the different types of turrets is a nice addition

Hi, thanks for comments :)

Yes sound will be great and I'll add it later.

You can change keyboard layout on the first windows when you launch the game. But it's strange that you have QZSD
layout.

Fun and hard challenge. I wonder how powerful I will but never survived that long. I think it would help if the difference is obviously visible.
Just personal thought for two problems: the aimer is too similar to the bullets so that distracts me, and the rate of fire is a bit slow which makes it less exciting. maybe that could change as I gain some items?
