Initially made the mistake of trying to play with a trackpad...which did not go well. :)
Had much more success with a mouse! (Seems like a game that could also work well with a joystick/gamepad controller.)
Really liked the use of the subtle simple square-wave pattern in the background to give the arena some visual interest without creating visual noise.
Found gameplay a bit challenging initially but also had a few rounds of "I'll just try *one* more go" so that speaks well to the game's ability to walk the fine challenging/frustrating balance line.
It took me a bit of time to understand how to survive but the concept is great! However enemies are cheating and leaving the world bounders T_T
Really cool idea! It had me going and making a DPI profile on my mouse just for this game lol. I think ou should pursue this idea further!
Really neat idea. Would have if I could tell the origin direction of the lasers passing through me (or maybe these just shouldn't pass thru).
I felt a bit cheated that tucking myself into a corner didn't work as enemies could move out of bounds.
Really cool game! It goes to show how much cool stuff you can do with very little.
That was cool! I enjoyed getting combos.
Protip: the corners of the map are not safe.
