Was awesome!
I loved it! Struggled at the end though (found a glitch outside the wall) I was up till 5am for some stupid reason... even with the lack of sleep I got over the weekend from this Jam. It's been fun man! :)

Fun it has been... remind me to never do that again... :|
Aaaawww sound please.... pretty please
The game you created here (on your own, being the only team-member) for the game jam is awesome. You coped well with the colour handicap and the engine is really fun to play.
It's sad that you couldn't add the sound but I would reaaaaally love to see it with sound someday. You should consider updating it when you get to it.
Adding the ability to run was really a good idea, but when running it is hard to control everything properly. I think you would have been better if the down arrow key was the RUN button, since you use the other three arrows anyway and it's uncomfortable to stretch your hand over to the spacebar from either WASD or the arrows.
Also when I tried to move in circles while running and shooting the char didn't turn anymore. (too many buttons at the same time? :P)
Apart from that it's really fun. I think the ninjas where an awesome idea and the boss fight was pretty hard until you find out how to handle him.
All in all a great entry and if you had had the time to add sound it would have been even better.
Good job!
5/5 & 10/10
JoSilver responds:
Thanks glad you liked it.
when it comes to the spacebar for running I found the spacebar works best, I tryed the down arrow but than it becomes hard to shoot and run. and also yeah there are only so many button pressed flash will pick up sadly (adobe needs to fix it).
I really kinda wanna leave this one as is. I polished it as much as I could and sent it off.
But that does mean I wanna abandon it, I created a pretty complex engine for this game and I wanna experiment more with it.
Also thank for playing.... CONTRAST!!!
NIce One!
I really liked this game a lot. But It was a little too hard.
Tone down the difficulty and I'll give it a 10.
LOL

go trhu the tunnel then charge to the left of the square block(the first one you see)
then your out of the map

I managed to solve the glitches in the game and improved the AI but I'm not sure if I should update this game. I mainly made the improvements for future projects but I wish I had caught that glitch sooner. It was really so simple what was wrong, one extra line would be all I need to add.
Very interesting.
The lack of in-game sound is interesting. The controls were a bit hard at first, but then I got used to it. Because it is all on the keyboard, the pitter-patter of the keyboard gives the game sound. I find the controls to be the interesting twist to the generic top down shoot'em up.
