the most fun game I've played from the jam so far! I was using a trackpad which made it even more stressful/engaging haha

Submitted

Nice simple game. I like the "color change" option.

Submitted

It's a nice game!

Submitted

Menacing this is really fun, one of those really simple games that can be very addicting. I love that you can make the experience feel like your own when you can use your own hex color and I love the subtle game over, restart screens. Gives a cool retro feeling as well. Great work!

Hi, congrats on your game! :) From what I understood, it's a local co-op game, right? I couldn't quite grasp the objective of the game, perhaps because I tried playing it alone. Nonetheless, I found it really cool how the mirror system works, where moving one ship causes the other to move in the opposite direction. There's definitely potential for some interesting gameplay ideas with that mechanic.

If you have some spare time, please try out my game. It's a classic space shooter from the 80s but with a personal touch. Please leave your honest feedback.

My left ear loved it :D. Neat concept tho!

Submitted

I like how it feels weird to control both paddles at once, but it feels like rotation is not really needed to progress and the scaling is only there to be left at max size. Nice idea, but would be nice to give some real gameplay reason to use the full set of controls.

Submitted

I love games that mess with your mind.

Submitted

Great and fun concept for your game! Although I did seem to only have sound coming out of my left ear for my headphones. Also was there any reason not to have your shields at max size?

Submitted

Congrats on your game! A bit easy, or at least didn't have the patience to get to the hard part.

Submitted

Wow, so much fun!!! This was really engaging, I felt I was doing great until the arrows started shooting, then, well, it all went downhill from there for me .. lol!  Really fun game!

Submitted

Really neat concept and very well executed. This is a submission I could find myself saving and playing later.

I do agree with another comment that I wish it got a little more difficult a little bit sooner with the different enemy types, but the game is very fun! 

Submitted

Nice idea for the game and worked well with the theme! 

Maybe it could have ramped up the difficulty a bit quicker and even more, I started to have a bit of problems focusing after 1200 points, since it was too easy in my opinion. Great simplistic game anyway! Good work :) 

Submitted

Great idea with great game.Congrats.Rated it

Submitted

Well done on your game, pal! I've rated it. Would you mind checking out my game and leaving a rating? Let's exchange feedback!

Submitted

good mirror feature and the ability to change colors , great audio as well.

Submitted

Very cool mechanic, trying to get triangles in reverse is quite challanging.

Also giving player the ability to change screen color a nice touch.  :)

Well done!

Submitted

An interesting realisation of the theme. I like the concept, but I don't understand why you can rotate and resize the shield. 

Build that in somehow in a way that makes sense. The enlargement of the shield makes it easier for the player.  For example, fewer points could be earned if the shield is larger. I had fun with your game, good job :)

Submitted

Good idea. I love the customisation feature for the colors, always good to have for this kind of games. I just wish it would get difficult way sooner though, It only takes like 15 seconds to get pretty good at it.

I like the game. A couple of notes of feedback. 

  • I wasn't sure what effect changing the size of the shields and rotating them had on the gameplay.
  • The game takes a little long to get interesting. I started having fun once the speed picked up a little bit.
  • This is a cool concept for a game.

Good effort! Thanks for playing and rating my game, much appreciated!
