I like the effect of the course changing as you press the button. Sound effects are fitting. Wish there would of been music however.

jplur

Ha, this is great! I got 19 of the data cores. Really hard to get some of them. Congratulations!

recursor

Now that is truly a brain-bending experience, and definitely a unique game play idea.

SonnyBone

WHOA! I really enjoyed playing this. I was confused at first, but it all became very intuitive. GREAT JOB!

crackerblocks

great concept, but now my brain hurts.

C418

Damn, this is confusing.

Wiering

Very hard.

matrin

Hard game, good buy frustrating.

Entar

Crazy, I love the idea! It's difficult, could maybe use a little polish and slow it down a smidge, but it's a great start.

Really innovative take on the theme! I was having a lot of fun, but I managed to get entirely stuck at one point in the level. I love the art style and the flipping animations.

Hempuli

One can argue whether this goes under the theme, but the quality sure was high! Couldn't beat it though.

gimblll

Really really hard.

KungPhoo

Wow, great idea. The problem is, that it's much too hard, because it's just too fast. If it was slower and would, say, inidcate a "you're using special power XY now" icon to add a small delay, it might be less confusing. I don't know. A shame that it's soo hard.

localcoder

Cool. The graphics are simple but they show everything clearly. The transition effects make it easy to understand how each new power works.

Having a power that changes is an interesting take on one-button controls that I haven't seen before - I liked it.

increpare

hah; that worked pretty well actually - took me a little while to figure things out

hazman

Looks cool. Good concept. Bit annoying to play.

arzi

I think it was a bit too frustrating, very confusing, and the special power didn't seem very consistent (it didn't launch every time I let go of the button).

Doches

This is intense, and clever, and (frankly) excruciating to play. I really, really want to like it -- but it's so damned hard!

Great stuff here, though. Great stuff.
