In what way does your game fit the theme?
The core of the game is eating more circles so they can fight at your side.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the codes by myself but I bought sound effects from asset store.

Solid game ! Love the design and the tron feel ! It just lack of better UI and some music + a little bit of optimization when there is a lot of ennemies. But it was great anyway since it was like us your first game jam :D
Thanks, glad you like. Yea, these are the things need to be improved.
Yes this is my first game jam, but I have made some games before that so I should do better on this.
A fun game, the mechanics resemble the Armagetron game. The controls are a bit hard but I have no idea how to improve that, unfortunatelly. Anyways, an interesting game, good job!
Thanks for playing.
I didn't try Armagetron yet but it's truly where the idea come from.
For the control, It might feels better if I add touch screen control?
Can't really sure because I don't want player to have unlimited speed.
HOLY S*** THIS IS GOOD
:) Glad you like it. Your game is also very fun in my opinion. I think you might need some self-promotion to get more people playing it.
Good game concept & game design. Have to adjust the movement as it seems a bit hard to control and I always miss catching the power-ups and dealing with the enemies.
Thanks for playing. Yea I will add controller and touch control later, should feel better these way.
A very neat concept, especially considering you did all of this in only a few hours. I found the controls maybe a little two fast and rigid, often I would end up just missing an enemy because I over or undershot them. My high score was 293.
Thanks for playing, 293 is actually pretty good. Yea I may add mouse/controller support later, it should feels better with these controls.
I like this game! Simple and challenging. The art is clean with good high contrast and the gameplay is easy to understand, but yet difficult. I found myself trying it more than a few times.
I do wish there was some sort of background music or ambient sound during the level. Also another control input, like a PC controller or click and drag to follow the cursor. Which, if you did the follow the cursor, it would lend itself well to mobile... which I could see this game doing well on.
The highest score I was able to get was 1394... I was able to get two trails on either side of all three hexagons. Then I just moved up and down... at one point the game was spawning so many enemies I thought I saw them destroying each other.... The game did start to lag at that point because of all the particles and enemies on screen.... but eventually I did die.
Great game.... very solid submission
1394 is a very high score and yes, the up and down method is also the way I get mine highest score...... Which is a problem need to be fixed in my opinion...
You are right about the controls, I will definitely add them in the next version. I did consider about publishing it on mobile, you know but the lag will be something have to be fixed.
And I will also add some music to the game in the next version. I didn't add one on realse because I was too lazy....
Thanks a lot for playing, I think I will pick a day to finish this in near future...
Great games with really well made levels, love the graphics, fan of the simplistic minimalist design you went for. Good work.

:) Interesting, I actually remember you as the first person commented on this game.
The game is pretty good, and you have aparently made in less than 1 day???, The game can be optimized to run smoothly,I think that you have used to many particles. This can be expanded to be a lot more, with new type of powerups and random events such as longer trails, a small turret the shoots the enemies, and the enemies could have bosses in which you need to create a circle to kill them, or have an enemy that can goes slow but can dash through the line, but anyways pretty cool game.
Thanks, glad you like it.
Yea, I made it in like three hours, this is my first time joining a game jam so I didn't really expect this many people playing it...... You know, I noted the lag before release but I was too lazy to fix it...
You are right, this game can be upgraded in many ways. Maybe I will make a version with more mechanism later. This game is very easy to write so I think I would just write a new one.
Eye Candy! Loved it.
Thanks. :)
Glad you like it.
Really nice game with well designed levels, thankyou for sharing it with us!
If you're into visuals, check out and rate my game as well. Feedback and critiques are appreciated. :)
Levels ? :) Thanks for the comment.
Your game is really pretty looking. I think you didn't set the system the game works on so it can only be downloaded and opened manually.
Good concept and good execution. Played some more rounds to get a better score. The balancing of the player getting stronger and the game getting harder is pretty well done.
Great!
Thanks,glad you like it.
I used a very strange curve to calculate the spawn time. 1/((1+exp(x/10)/100)^0.5), I think it may also be a reason causing lag...
A simple concept that is beautifully executed. I love it!
Thanks a lot. :)
The visuals are simple but fits really well, the concept is good and original. Good job!
Thanks a lot, glad you like it.
I really dig the visuals (especially the trails) and the core gameplay is quite fun, though for some reason it seems to start lagging sometimes (nothing too bad). The sound effects are quite fitting, you maybe could have added a simple start menu, but that's not too important either. Overall amazing game!
Thanks, glad you like it.
The game was not very well written I have to say. It would be much smoother if I change the particle effects into animations and change the collision system. I was too lazy when making this....
Thanks for the advice, very appreciate.
At least it is intuitive and easy to understand, unlike mine ;)
But your game have much more potential then this one. It is not easy to understand at start because it is unique which is a good thing. :)
Never lose faith in yourself, you also have great potential here. Have a great day!
Thanks. You too, have a nice day/night. :)
The game is exciting and simple to play! idk why it lags on my gtx970 but i can literally play this on my free time! 10/10 scored 400+
400+ is a pretty high score :), glad you like it.
It lags on my Gtx970 sli also :( , I added too many physical objects and particle effects I think.
I love the visuals, movement is also really good, overall great job!
Thanks, glad you like it. Your game is a much better work in my opinion. :)
really cool game great job
Thanks a lot. :)
I scored 114! Great concept, and very very beautiful graphics. Original too! Good job :D
Glad you like it, thanks for playing :).
The graphics are nice and the gameplay too. Really good for a game made so fast.
Glad you like it.
Unity is a great engine for fast developing. The particle effects and trail render can make great graph improvement with almostly no effort.
