Missiles OMG!

A side scrolling shooter with random in mind. This is what happens when an entire game is thought up, designed, and produced between 2am and 9am by people functioning off liquid energy.

Four levels to play through, plenty of icecream to unlock, lots of statistics tracked (viewable only after unlocking the last level), and high score boards for the avid player.

I'll keep it short...i like it and its actually kinda addicting. I also thing the explosion effect looks awesome haha. Make a game with me?

AWESOME!!!

A missile that shoots missiles and other stuff is the best idea for a game ever! I'm giving you 10/10!!!

Intresting game....

I couldnt beat the first level because of its obstacles. But good job.

AMAZING

THIS GAME IS TEH SEX!!!! IT IS SO GOOD I CAN'T PUSH CAPS LOCK TO STOP USING ALL CAPS!!!!!

Crazy Fun

While at its core, this submission is just a typical side scrolling, dodge-and-shoot game what makes this particular item stand out is its zany style. You control a missile that flies through four levels, dodging static barriers, shooting floating enemies, and dodging the enemies you can't shoot in time. You are a missile, but you shoot missiles. Crazy. When you've lost all of your lives, you receive a score based on how far you travelled and how many enemies you've killed. Score high enough, and the next level is unlocked. It's a little tough. Your missle is big, slow, hard to control, and sometimes the random obstacles that fly at you just aren't possible to dodge.

It's an exercise in funny. Everything has a hand-drawn, old-school cartoony look. Each missile you control is decorated with a silly symbol, phrase, emoticon, or something else, which changes with each life, giving the sense of this crazy missle changing shirts and storming out, thinking, "This time, with my new '>:(' shirt, I can't possibly fail!" Each shot you fire is something different, from shuricans, to earthworms, to plungers, to little hand drawn energy bolts. When you die, your missile explodes into chunks of gore. If you shoot too much in rapid succession, your missile turns dark red, and eventually explodes. As you kill enemies in a row without missing, black numbers appear after each kill, counting your combo chain. Miss a shot, and the game very dramatically lets you know the full extent of your failure. I don't exactly consider shooting two things that happened to get in my way, then missing a third shot as some kind of epic defeat, but that doesn't stop the game from boldly announcing that you were 'pwned' every time your impressive combo of 2 gets broken.

Various achievements relating to total distance, kills, combos, and other feats unlock ice cream. It's not the achievements that are funny. It's the fact that the game is so matter-of-fact about the existence of ice cream as the measure of your success. It's like, "Of course there's ice cream!" Then, as if flying through caverns shooting tentacles and gemstones with random projectiles isn't crazy enough, there's some llama up at the top right corner of your screen who fills up the more rapidly you kill things, and drains when you don't. Once he's full, a red circle appears next to him. The game awards you points at the end for the number of these "llama turds" you end up with. Crazy. It's just a mouse-driven dodge-and-shoot game, but all of the antics make it an experience.
