interesting propulsion; lots of usability tweaks needed though; readme file missing

Works, but isn't really fun. The only remotely innovative thing was the controls.

She has no arms! This game is quite enjoyable, actually. I particularly like the unusual "shooting bullets to move and fly" thing.

Ok, you get kudos just for the sheer brazen irreverence with which you treat your supposed backstory in the intro text. The game falls rather flat, though: the spiders don't provide much opposition, and there's little variation in the tactics required to destroy each spider mound.

I found impossible to play with kbd, but using the joystick hats was playable.<br>

I don't have a joystick - is that a problem?

Didn't seem to be any objective. Using bullets instead of jumping was kind cool though, especially as it made raining death from above the default mode of attack:-)

Graphics are not very balanced; this game looks like a mash-up gone wrong. The huge amount of rockets is funny at first, but starts degrading the overall experience after about a minute.

Two-legged red spiders are awesome by the way!

after you die you get into a loop and you can't play again

Very incomplete package. =|

No way to win! Interesting idea.

Not sure what the point is - or how its connected to the theme

Good try. Needs music.

Nice story! I played the early "rough" version, and I can see it is much improved from that. The controls are quite usable even though their are very unusual.

Using weapon fire for propulsion is an interesting idea. But it's hard to get the hang of the controls when moving and shooting are conflated.<br>
The dominant strategy seems to be to keep flying and obliterating anything below you as a consequence.<br>
It would be nice if there were some way of destroying the bug spawning mounds. But fortunately the player seems to be immortal as a compensation. :-)<br>
Seems to crash after a while with "Event queue full".

I found the mechanic of using your shots to propel you surprisingly interesting. Not a great use of the theme.

wow, this is weird.

Runs too slow to be fun, and doesn't feel complete.

Pretty fun. I noticed, though... She doesn't seem to have arms... ^^;
