- Fun and simple. Very mesmerizing watching the hair move around while fighting. Good job!
Who worked on your submission?
It was only me.
How does your submission fit the theme?
It's a shoot 'em up where power scales with hairlength. You start out bald, and gain hair by picking up hair dropped by enemies (duendes). Bullets can cut your hair. If you are hit, you lose all hair. If you are already bald when you are hit, you lose.

the long hair effect was cool! the life system where you die of bald was fun
Love the long hair trail after playing for a while. This will be Touhou in 2030
awesome bullet hell game :))
Game works perfectly with the new download
Fun shmup, really like the long ass hair trail when you get to a high level (along with the portrait growing hair), and christ alive that ramps up fast, I only managed to get like 3100 points. Shame there wasn't any music though (unless of course, that's also broken)
I'm glad it works now.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do sound & music, so there's none.
Updated the game, now I have proper 64-bit and 32-bit windows distributions up and available for download. The .zips should include all necessary files to run the game now.
Thank you to everyone who let me know there was an issue!
If anyone still happens to run into any problem, please let me know!
The system you came up with is quite impressive and creative! Also it is very satisfying to see the hair strands go towards joel, for what it is it's pretty well made :)
Hi, can't run this due to missing some dll files (apparently lua51, love, and SDL2 couldn't be found), are these files that I can get anywhere or what?
I have uploaded properly packed .zip files. Should work now. Let me know if you still find any issues.
The visuals are very well crafted! I am very mesmerized by the long hair physics!
