Beautiful as usual.
I played for so long without realizing that I could use wasd and I was just moving it with my mouse 😭
This is probably the most fun game I've played all week. It's good to lock in & clear your head. Super satisfying, but difficult enough to have a good time. Controls/rules are unclear at first, but are simple enough to make a bunch of sense once you get the hang of it
I also really like the color palette options!! really nice touch. Includes a couple of easter eggs for Daniel Linssen's other games, too haha
I haven't finished the game yet, but I've unlocked most of the levels (three to go). The grid layout is really pleasant, and I also like how they don't unlock in sequential order (a, b, c) but in difficulty level, it seems. And with the variety of enemy + player types, you can always go back to another level for a refresh if the one you're stuck on is frustrating :0
I also like the detail of the enemy types growing while they're in the circlet, as well as the tiiiny push when they get close enough to kill you. (Like, when you're literally about to die. It makes the whole thing look smooth, even though it's sudden)
Anywho. Very lovely game.
(Pasted this comment from my review lol)
Very cool game! When I pressed 'Credits' my game hung and I had to kill it with Task Manager. Other than that, very cool. :)
сосал?
Simple, sweet, polished. I had unintended twists and turns. Like finding out I could move! What will they think of next.. Though that was on me for not reading the controls. I especially enjoyed the triple dot player (spread out hitboxes, nothing can hit me >:3) and the shooting enemies (I can dodge their bullets well), but the total score system encouraged me to play with a variety of player/enemy combos. Except the flashing player. I did not like that one, not even total score could get me to play more of it. Overall, really solid game.
Nice idea
Any web or mac version to play? love your games man
This game would work so incredibly well on Playdate console with the crank and d-pad!
Really original concept and execution for a fun experience. Bravo!
This was neat. One thing I wanted was the levels to start the same way every time (not random positions/directions of the enemies), so that I could try to optimize a perfect choreography.
ahaha thats so funny i managed to get to 4000 points before realsing you could move with wasd
the game is simple with rules, yet hard to manage - good game! gets my nerves hard : D
A very good game, instructions are unclear though.
