The game features a unique blend of mechanics, making it quite original. It's nearly impossible to play with a touchpad, so I had to dust off my mouse.
Super awesome game, never seen the portals combined with spaceships before! excellent idea.
I found by far the best strategy was to stay in one spot and just focus on placing the teleporters, trying to do do both move and place portals made me keep dying, but even with this gameplay style it was still really fun.
Great entry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice entry! The learning curve is a tad high in this game, mostly because you have no idea what the new enemies are going to do and by the time they do it, it's usually too late. Still lots of fun to play though!
I really like the upgrade paths. Are the upgrades all time based? It was hard to tell for me.
You gain upgrades via exp but we didn't have time to visualize that to the player. Thanks for playing!
Solid game! I enjoyed the gameplay and thought the mechanics were really cool. Nice work!
This was so much joy to play. The replay value is high when trying to figure out new ways to use the portals against the AI. Great choice in music and random power ups, really fun!
Very interesting gameplay i love the concept the audio is great.
very original but hard to get the hang of, the best kind of game! (although the hitboxes were a bit iffy sometimes)
The game is very original ! Hard to master but very well done
GREAT GAME GG
The concept of the game is really unique ! Its nice to see unique games :D
I also enjoyed playing the game ! :D
5 stars !!!!!
Thanks for open sourcing the game.
the concept is very good, the controls are very hard to figure out, but really a good game overall
Love the game concept. Pretty unique.
Struggled a bit with the tank-like controls but sorta got comfortable with drifting around.
Eventually resorted to spam-clicking and funneling everything into the corner of the screen.
Seems like a viable cheese-strat up to a certain point.
just an fyi if u wana patch that.
Hey glad you liked the concept. We will look into patching it 👍
Great Entry! Very unique game mechanic. I love the variety of obstacles - the furthest I got was 79 seconds.
I think there's actually an interesting idea here (only using enemies bullets to hit each other), but I think the spaceship controls are a bad fit. Simple 8-way movement would make things a lot less confusing. Maybe you could even auto-aim portals towards the nearest enemy to make it easier to control. And prevent the player from going through portals as well, it's usually more annoying than helpful. Anyway, just some ideas. Nice game!
Hey thanks for the feed back, we will take that into testing and see how it feel
GREAT GAME!
Good, but i confused since i using touchpad not mouse.
I don't think this is 13kb?
Yeah we misunderstood what the challenge really was, so we ended up leaving that challenge. Our bad lol
space themed arcade games are fun, yours has a very unique portal concept to it, and catchy music.
Nice game reminds me of portal
