This game may be a labour of love, but all I can remember right now is pain, sweat and tears. And it's not even over yet.

I’m glad you like the Skullman, Melly. I wasn’t sure I had nailed him all too well.

Oh, and I’d love some donations. I spend a few hours everyday making games, and I really want to keep doing it. So don’t force me to go get a job… :P

Probably the easiest to figure out.<br/><br/>The skullman: The most unique character for me. His option-ramming attack is, I think, the most powerful unlimited attack of the three when you have all options condensed, making gameplay with him a very agreesive, but effective one if you use that. Also versatile with other attack types. Probably for balance he has no limited weapons. Can be very hard to grasp because of how he controls. <br/><br/>The cockrocket: The best to fire at odd angles and against straight lines of enemies. Her limited lasers also fire rapidly, allowing you to quickly take down the most annoying enemies you save it for.<br/><br/>I love how differently they all control, though you MIGHT want to place a short tutorial mode. It's not that necessary, though. My thoughts on the characters:

Anyways, funds transfering, it’ll be about 3 or 4 days cactus, but you’ll be getting my pre-order cash soon enough!

She seems like she could potentially have the strongest attacking power of them all, much like the Attractor from Clean Asia. The skull man may actually be the easiest one to survive with for newbies, since two of his modes can block enemy bullets. I’m having a tough time figuring out how to use the woman effectively.

This is a great little game that could use a tiny bit more tuning.. but this IS a work-in-progress demo, and if it's this good now, the final build should be fantastic.<br/><br/>Keep up the good work, Cactus. Probably your best game so far, and given that I really like your other stuff, that's pretty much frothing praise.<br/><br/>Definitely getting the full thing.. In fact, I recall donating to this very blog a while back, and apparently that included - in part - the full version of this anyway. So there. You've got my money - spend it well, you mad bastard!
