I usually only like directional shooters if i can aim up and down, but this game was a masterpiece for how simple it is and fun at the same time
Reviews for "Mono Caves"
I admit that I wasn't into this game at all. I found it nearly impossible to beat the level as I couldn't find a means of defense. I am so glad that there is one after all. You know how to create an interesting world with crazy things going on. It was interesting to see the harder enemies show up time after time. I kept thinking each new one was a boss.
The graphics were fairly good in this. I just appreciate how good the sounds are. It gives you the sense of being in this boxed area with these monsters. I really don't know what's going on, but I like ths. If this had been on Ludum Dare 26, I would have called it the best in the series!
Excellent little game. Enjoyed the difficulty, my only complaint is that you cant shoot up and down, it gives the enemies a huge advantage when below or above them, and gives you an advantage on the enemies who can only attack close up. It would have been nice to see that kind of directional shooting maybe with the arrow keys/wasd (binding of isaac style), or maybe some clever level design.
Also there was some nice retro music.
I feel like people are forgetting it was made in 48 hours, so well done.
my only complaint is that im not the first to yell WOOH BELLY BUTTON LASERS :) nice one and good luck in the next dare
Overall it was a good game the felling accomplishment was great at the end! I got a key at the end from the boss what was it for anyway?

Thanks!
It was actually gonna unlock a lock to the end of the level but I felt like it might have made the level too hard and frustrate people so I made him optional. Just a last minute change that I didn't get time to really implement properly. Ideally I would have made a proper reward for beating the boss or made the level smaller and kept the lock.
