The art style is jawdropping, along with the music and mechanics. My initial thought was "how the hell did they manage this in 72 hours", but then the game ended abruptly and I was left with a hunger for more. I would buy a full length title with this style and music instantly.
Sad to say that in its current state you can't compete for high scores as you can achieve maximum score fairly easily, hope they let you fix that! I really want to play more of this.

thanks for your feedbacks ! we plan to do a longer and harder version soon. Actually the art was really quick to do I think 2hours by level... because the game is in 320*180 and I duplicate my design a lot and use tilemap. But its really the low resolution that helped. You can visit Maxime Lenik soundcloud if you like the music =)
Great consistent style, clear and purposeful sound design, classic gameplay with a clever twist. Really fun game overall.

Not The Bees!Fantastic art style, sublime animations, and groovy music, 5 stars for those!
The game was a little bit on the easy side though with the reflected lasers affecting the player. It was easy to strafe and kill off enemies off-screen.
In terms of the final level, I think the background obscures the score a bit. Also needs some way to show the score at the end? Otherwise, really fun and hits all my nostalgia retro buttons on this one.

Zombie Meets BrickThanks for the feedbacks, if you check the description on itch.io, it shouldnt be that easy because we forgot to take of "godmode" testing. YOu should be hurt by your own laser, its the point of the game, but too much difficult during the testing phase haha. Give it a try next time ;)
And noticed for the score, going to fix it asap ;)
This soundtrack... beautiful. Post the game to reddit.com/r/outrun, they'll love it lol.
Great controls and feedback, amazing graphics, fantastic sound. There was a technical issue with the credits being behind the background image, but aside from that, solid execution! Only thing missing was a high score tracker (or was that supposed to be in the credits section?).

All Aliens Must Die!Yes Thanks, I made the mistake of droppingthe picture on top of the highscore as well, its fixed now we waiting to be able to update the game
Yes actually the WIP title was outrun ! Its still the name of my folder on my computer ;) THis game is inspired by Kavinsky soundtrack. If you wanna check, I made the art for this game listening to kavinsky Testarossa Autodrive/Signatune mix live on youtube ;)
Just the preview image had me sold. :)
Great game, but a tad to easy; I could pretty much eliminate anything before it even had a chance to enter the screen. :D But maybe that had to do with the bug you talked about? Also the end credits were behind the background in the end, for some reason.
But look and feel of the game is great. :D

Arcade Controls Jam - .bumperThis is super good! The graphics and music are stunning and it really feels like a retro game! Great job!

Prototype-19Very cool game ! Art and music are awesome (^u^) ! The gameplay is really cool too but a bit too easy when you have the blue blaster.... Moreover I thinks end credits are bug, they're scrolling behind the picture of the city.... En tous cas bravo 脿 vous tous, c'est ce qu'on appelle du bon boulot ! (I think you're French, if no it means Well done !)
