I really liked it for the first 10 minutes but then I realized what it was and got extremely bored. The only 'goal' in the game is survival. A game with a lack of goals to reach is not much of a game at all. I sincerely hope you continue to make the game in the future as it has plenty of potential.

I'm currently working on expanding it. The original plan was to have multiple stages and bosses to reach and defeat (so the game would have an end point and not just be a survival thing), but there's only so much you can do in 48 hours. :P
Nice game , Nice concept and it's kinda addicting to me
Really liked the style. Would like it more if it went outside the one screen, with maze-like design and special items that are needed to go beyond certain areas, like a 2D Zelda game. Still a nice game though.

The theme for the compo I made this for was "entire game on one screen," so the current game is limited to that, but a Zelda-style exploration game may be a fun thing to try if I expand on this! :)
Another great Ludum Dare entry which does not work with Firefox and Xp. Played it till level 13 in Chrome. Good game, needs a menu and a pause button.
Those little aliens remind me of Space Invaders. :) Gameplay is simple and addicting, though by the way rooms seem to be randomly generated each time I play I guess it's endless? Would've been neat with a goal to strive towards, or if it does go on forever: highscores. Nice game!
