For Ludum Dare 27, we decided to make a boss rush game where you must beat all of the bosses in 10 seconds(a decasecond if you will).
When you are done, be sure to try some of the challenge modes in the options menu if you liked it.
"Rejoice my people for the hour has come for you to fight the bosses of your dreams in a highly compressed time period. It won't be easy, the graphics alone might make you quit, but I assure you that on this day, VICTORY SHALL BE HAD! THE WORLDS, SHALL BE SAVED!"

I was going to temporarily change my password for my account, but, y'know, this works too.

Don't worry guys, I'm not going to abuse this and rate my own game.
The composer greatly appreciates the comment on the music, and would like to query the whereabouts of the option menu
I defeated the brain! Cool entry, nice difficulty. The dolphin fight made me laugh. :-)
The composer would like to note that the < > surrounding the "Play" on the main menu are actually arrows and should be utilized with the left and right arrow keys
Awesome! Gotta love the variety in this game: the physics, the art, they all change in each level and that makes it quite a unique game.
I don't seem to have a main menu or an option menu... Windows version. It starts straight to the first level (tank). Is it normal?
@LordHellMaX: I just downloaded the windows version and it works for me. Do you get a SFX and a flash before the tank? The closest I got to replicating it was by mashing space while it was starting up.

You certainly made me laugh aloud with this one. Well done. Final boss was hard (I thought). This game reminded me of arguments as a kid. "Who would win if it was flipper vs batman?" Obviously, batman.
I feel like someone took all my least favourite moments of video games and made a game from them exlusively. I just never really understood why boss battles were considered an acceptable staple of video games. Not to sound overly negative, this game certainly did what it was meant to and I'm sure if I weren't such a hardass I'd have enjoyed it a lot.
I really like the idea of having mechanically distinct play segments like this. I was actually a bit disappointed that the fourth stage was similar to the first (hold down to shoot continuously). I think this would be a good candidate for expansion with some novel shooting mechanics for each stage.
One thing that did confuse me for a while was that the health gauges for you and your enemy appear to be one. Putting the hearts next to the life bar communicates a relationship that doesn't actually exist, and it took me some time to realize what it was that my endurance was measured in.
Wow. What a challenge ! But I like brutal shooters. Good entry !
Pretty silly concept, especially how it has all kinds of different game graphics and stuff. That was actually pretty amusing.
Dolphin was hardest because he was all floaty and I had problems dodging the parabolic squares.
A well-rounded entry, with good variety. Got stuck on that bomber vs turrets one. The boss behind the turrets wouldn't take damage.
@BlackBulletIV You have to destroy all of the lasers before you can damage the boss. Sorry we didn't make it more clear.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Boss rush mode for the win! :)
