This is a really appealing idea. I like how simple it is.

It does seem to run a bit slowly on the computer I'm playing on, but it's playable if I use a very small window. One other thing I noticed is that it's sometimes hard to tell exactly when the player is struck by a projectile. Some sort of impact effect would help to make it clearer.

Using my display's full resolution made the game freeze up after, I assume, a certain number of projectiles exist.

Cool game!

Yeah, the framerate is directly proportional to the number of bullets on the screen, and the number of bullets is directly proportional to the window size. I probably should have put more thought into performance.

Glad you enjoyed it though!

yea shame about the frame rate. looks like a neat idea though!

runs great on my computer, game play was a little confusing the first try, but once you get the hang it's nice, still a little slow though.

It ran just fine here (after I switched to Chrome from Firefox). Nice idea, although I suck at playing it =P

That's a pretty cool concept. Kinda gets old quickly though, but it is still pretty cool to watch those laser beams go.

It is very nice to see a js+canvas submission.

I liked the idea but maybe it's a bit too simple.

Runs nicely in chrome, I actually found a neat strategy for killing them whereby they end up shooting themselves :p

I was able to nearly clear the board through a mix of this strategy and another where I would charge my Repulsion Energy, then use it to sit near one long enough for a barrage of bullets from other ones to kill it. I loled a bit when one killed itself (thus 2 for humor) but sadly no sound... so no stars there

I like the idea of this game.
