A platform shooter originally made for LD48#25. The theme was "You are the Villain". This is a two-player game. Player 1 controls a space trooper and Player 2 controls the enemy characters. If you'd like to play single player, just ignore P2 and the enemy A.I. will kick in. The goal is to reach the end of the level with the most gold -- with 2 players, take turns being the trooper and compare scores.

Player 1 keys: S,D to move (or O,P in single player) X,C to jump and shoot (or Q,W)

Player 2 Keys: Cursors to move K to switch which group of monsters to control L to perform the monster’s attack

Its too hard on the player 1.
Also make it a bit more time before the AI starts.

LOVE the artwork!

In 1 player, it seems as though the exploding mines should damage the enemies. Otherwise, a very cool game.

All good suggestions. I'll update this at some stage along with better controls too. Regarding difficulty, I quite like it a bit harder when playing 1P, so I think the best solution is just to add customizable handicap when starting e.g. easy mode reduces bullet damage to 60%

Most of the graphics is by Mats Andren, who is an animator by trade. This was the first time he tried out making graphics for a game (I believe). Hopefully we'll get the chance to collaborate on something again in the future.

really good game! thanks for posting

hey great game! cool movement, look and destructible scenery. sweet sounds too! i like the whimsical friendly floaty head things that drop the mines.

i got stuck a few times and wanted to zap myself free. a quit/self destruct perhaps?
