Neat gimmick, I found myself playing this for a pretty long time.

I really enjoy the gameplay loop involved with this.  Merging the colors into different colors is a nice way to continually introduce challenge into it.

I dig the mechanics of plugging in to charge certain shots. Definitely a me problem, but I fumbled a bit to figure out how to plug in so a short tutorial would be a nice addition. The art and animations are great! Well done!

I did include a tutorial, but perhaps I should've forced the player to actually play the tutorial before starting the game

Submitted

ahh damn, sorry I missed it. I got it figured out though. Good stuff!

Submitted

The game mechanics are pretty cool and I like the concept of the color blend attack. The introduction of layered enemies was a good call.

Submitted

Really clever game design! I think it could be sped up a bit, took a long time to get going.

Best presentation I have seen so far. Clean font, good tutorial, re-bindable controls, multiple settings, visually nice art that is also easy to parse. Love to see it.

The entire area around yourself being active was a nice decision. Getting progressively stronger each playthrough was also a really cool way of conveying power.

Here's a vod of me playing your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2373494360?t=00h48m02s

Haven't played anything quite like it! I appreciated the clear and concise tutorial. Nice work!

Submitted

Fun little defense game! I enjoyed how the shapes got progressively more threatening and introduced more colors. Music and art direction blended very nicely as well. Great job!

Submitted

Excellent game, one of my personal favorites! Simple yet enjoyable

Submitted

Great job! The mechanics are simple to learn, but there was a nice difficulty curve especially as you introduced different shapes. I really liked trying to combo them, e.g. getting two reds in one hit lol

Submitted

Really nice game, looks really polished! nicely done

Submitted

I like the music and SFX in this game a lot. It's simple but charming, and difficulty ramping feels very natural. Good work.

fun and original concept, I may just be too stupid to play it. Good job, good game
