December 16th-19th 2011 :: Theme: Alone
Randomly generated platformer developed in Flixel.
Cut a swath through the army that created you, in order to escape and finally be left alone...
Had an awesome time putting this together, first time really playing with Flixel. Originally planned to get this into the competition but didn't have enough time to wrap everything up. Took advantage of the Jam though, had Pierre Chamberlain (@_bigp) put together both tracks. Also nabbed another friend to do up a title screen.
Mechanics and Tips
- Kill enemies to replenish your energy.
- Health and energy will be replenished when you get to the next level.
- The door to the next level will be on the bottom floor of your current map.
- If you die you restart on your current level, it gets randomized though.
- The final boss has a charge up attack, while charging he doesn't take much damage.
- The boss battle is a pain, but there's one spot on the map you can cheese him.
Eager to hear your thoughts on the game! If you find the game too hard take a peek at the gameplay video. Thanks for taking a look.

Good point. Just updated the description. Forgot to warn everyone that there's no preloader.
It says there is a missing plugin, and chrome usually tells me if one is missing.
Very nice ending music.
The mechanics are a bit strange, for example when you send a bullet back it won't kill you nor the enemies. Bullets going thru everything is a bit strange as well. There's a bug - if you break the ground on the boss you can fall off the level and won't die or be able to play.
Quite difficult. Energy should be replenished faster and maybe the enemies a little less tough would help.
A lot of fun, I really enjoyed the whole system for destroying terrain. I thought it was really well done, and fit the mood quite well

Music was the best part, sometimes enemies hit by shield fall trought the floor and enemies have too much health. Overall it is a good game.

It took a while to load for me with no real indication of why, so for anyone else just be patient I guess :P Anyway it's pretty fun and I liked the music and the floating brain, though I didn't really get very far due to dying and stuff, since there didn't seem to be any health packs etc.
