What do you think?

I made a little LP of your awesome game. :) http://youtu.be/jAulHrlIG8s

This is really good. Not like I am a fan of this kind of games, but anyway. Keep up the good work.

I like how everything looks and sounds . It takes a bit of getting used too but it plays really well . Good job and congratulations !

When I first played this game, I didn't believe I would become so addicted. The fast-paced movement of the screen while you try and dodge the enemies and walls is exhilarating. And I love that there is a hint of strategy in the game, like "Which way should I go?" or "Should I speed up or slow down to destroy the enemy ship?". Those are the questions that keep this game interesting and exciting. I'm glad your game won GameJolt's first contest. Congratulations! :)

Thank you all for your comments.

KniteBlargh : I'm glad the colors matched your taste 'cause I love the poster you created for the contest and I love your art style in general. ('3')/

Toadsanime : Thank you for the review ! You're right, the score is most important in the game, that's why you can access the score statistics at any time by pressing F1 (it pauses the game).
I'll try to make it clearer in the next update, it's only mentioned in the instructions.
There are warps in all levels that makes possible to explore them in their entirety and get all the stars of the maze.
As for not being able to see enemies ahead of you, you're right and I think I will add a little arrow on the top of the screen for upcoming enemies.
Most sound effects were made with modplug tracker to be tuned with the music.
Hey, I've uploaded the music with a little coda, thanks for asking !

shockmaze
 

A vertical scrolling shooter look-alike.

First place winner of the June 2009 GameJolt "Shocking" competition :)

Find your way through the maze : bumping into walls gives you speed and shocking power.

Shooting at ennemies makes them grow bigger in size (and points).

To kill them, you have to shock'em up.

Collect stars and find the 5 ships hidden in each level, (F1 for statistics).

Use a Gamepad or the keyboard.

KEYBOARD CONTROLS :

  • Arrow keys : move

  • X : shoot.

  • C : stop

The 4 first levels are unlocked, so you can clear them separately to access the next ones.

Graphically, the game is in 2.5D and uses strictly 2 colors (transparency is obtained by flickering). Press F3 to change the colors.

Left click to drag the window, right click to select the display.

Made in one week for the June 2009 GameJolt "Shocking" competition.
