It's an okay game. I don't like the small bit of what you see of the game world. Could have been bigger. And I don't really get all those little buttons on the right side.

Hmm, I found it impossible to die. Does anything injure you? I really liked the screenshot you posted during the compo, of the twisting ovoid-trail in space. Didn't find it in the game, though.
Re: wingdings as graphics, I think that's actually explicitly verboten/disqualified in the rules wiki. :( Sorry to be the messenger!
The buttons on the right side represent which shapes you've destroyed. It looks like you have to destroy at least one of each shape in a tier to progress to the next.
I couldn't die or take any damage. The fun of a shooter is using your skill to avoid death while killing other things.
Game has serious collision detection issues. The concept was funnish, I couldn't ever find the 8th sprite and move on, and just kind of gave up after a while. I'm not sure if I should have been killing other things.
The game was fun, but the randomness of the enemies slightly took away from the fun.
The only thing that bothers me, is that the enemies projectiles go straight through you making it hard to perceive you taking any damage at all.
Smooth gfx and I like how there was tons of different enemies (haha.. wingdings :D..) each with diff fire-patterns :), it kept the game interesting. Seemed like I never got hit by bullets though. Some simple pew-pew sounds would have added to the game :)
I got nine things - I don't think I liked how the containers disappeared after a while. Initially, I thought my objective was only to collect the star things.
Eventually stopped cause I couldn't find the last few guys. I did like the different attack patterns, very SHMUPish.
