Very cool game, looks visually stunning! I loved the teleporter mechanic too and how you implemented it; I just sort of wish there were some sort of way to predict which quadrant I'm teleporting to.


It feels really polished overall, great work!

Nice game! Very cool aesthetics and sound! The teleporting felt a bit too chaotic. It’d be nice if some of the concepts were gradually introduced with in different levels. Like if some of the objects weren't moving in the first levels, then it'd be easier to explore the teleporting as the ship. Clearer breaks between waves would also be help.  - Josh

This game is so cool! What an interesting concept. The teleporting was challenging in a good way. I, personally, suck at games, and it was still fun for me. It's also really fun to watch people play this game.

Very cool game, I really liked the style. It reminded me a lot of geometry wars. The background was my favorite part. The teleporting definitely took a minute for me to get my head around but I had a lot of fun!

Really like your design. Reminds me of the math to describe lasers in mirrored rooms. The aesthetic is really clean and sharp, I like it!

This was a great game to play!! I absolutely loved the look, art, and feel of this game.  Pretty challenging to play, but I could definitely feel myself improving over time, nice work!

Awesome look to this game. Great sound design. Perplex is a great name for it because it's quite confusing to figure out, but in a good way! Nice job :)

The game looks super polished, I'm amazed it was created in 3 days! Small stuff like the grid effect behind the player really comes together and makes it look incredible, the gameplay fits the theme well and is feels unique! Good amount of challenge too. Fantastic work, would appreciate it if you could check out my game as well! :)

really nice gameplay

Amazing!! the visuals are fantastic I like the varied  shapes of the enemies, the big circled enemy is the most annoying but yet felt satisfying to kill, the teleporting is well done I felt confused while switching between platforms which fits the game so well, the UI is nice too also fits the game pretty well, the controls are nice too but, pressing enter for pausing really confused me but, that's fine, and 5 stars for the sound, the music and the sfx really fit the game feel and make you feel you're in a futuristic world were triangles and circles took over the world haha. Overall you did a fantastic job, looking forward for more projects like this!!

Really fantastic game! Love how you connected the sections it really messed with my head! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the mechanic. You could probably take it even further with more weird interconnected sections. Also I love the grid that lights up behind you!
