Yup I agree with Drachlen, it gets really hard quite quickly but in the beggining, the space between enemies is very slow.
Robotron! Getting cash faster would have been nice, but maybe I'm just bad at it. :)
Fun addictive little game. Really liked the shop system. Probably should stop the user from going off of the screen.
Fun game with a few tweaks it will be a really good game. Good job
SO HARD! I don't understand how to kill an enemy without taking just as much damage as I deal.
Interesting, but starts out really slowly, and then there's suddenly way too many enemies. Gameplay is negating by just holding a key, which just shoots a straight line of bullets, making the game rather easy.
Could have been better, but I do like the basic concept of it!
Simple but great game. Try maximizing the window for a cool effect
Cool. Very simple presentation but it works and it is quite fun to play. Good job!
Well, I don't have much to add. Basically what DaVince, EmptyFlash and choqaae said :)
love this genre of game. nice take on it using the theme. Plays well difficulty ramps up quickly.

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.
I played this for a little while, and had some fun with it. I really like the idea itself, but I think it's incredibly challenging, maybe a bit too much. The very first enemy is already shooting in 4 directions and his bullets are pretty fast, I die very easily. Maybe have the first few waves be slower enemies, weaker weapons, and work up to these harder guys? Either way, I do like this arena shooter style game and I think you can do a lot with it. Good job.
