I love how smooth it is and the 3d effect. I find using the tractor beam frustrating, but outside of that it's really fun.

This looks and feels really good to play. Pretty awesome!

selectricsimian 2012-12-17 07:05

Wow! That's the most amazing use of Love2D shaders I've ever seen. I'm going to have to look into GLSL...

sos 2012-12-17 07:24

Amazing! Great job, man!
Also, does it work with anaglyph glasses?

jmk 2012-12-17 07:24

Very nicely done. I really like the high level of polish. Plus, it's super fun (and HARD)! :)

vrav 2012-12-17 07:28

Super rad. Enjoyed, but didn't beat (got to level 2). Nice presentation, all the effects are cool. I think I liked the shooting-up-and-exploding effects best.

Absolutely stunning. Shocked what you managed to do with LOVE.

The game gets brutal so fast, and it is super fun even when losing. It's much easier when you turn shaders off though.

Great graphics- how did you even achieve that planetlike effect? I love it.

sheepolution 2012-12-17 08:28

The 3D effect is really nice. But the tractor beam doesn't seem to work as it should? I notice the rocks/stone things to get pushed further away instead of closer to me. Kinda annoying. But good job!

robotic 2012-12-17 08:37

Very fun and dynamic, I'm a fan of the RGB effect

headchant 2012-12-17 09:22

Very good graphics! I liked the fake sphere thing. One of the best ones I have seen so far.

tomk32 2012-12-17 10:34

Crap, I don't have any 3D glasses to fully appreciate your game, and appreciate it I must.

cornedor 2012-12-17 14:57

Very nice game, and very hard, I like that, and the filters are awesome :)

xaychru04 2012-12-17 17:18

Wow, that's an amazing game, I love the graphics and the 3D effect, very nice :)

sclark39 2012-12-18 05:19

Nice work, I bet this wasn't your first rodeo. ;)
The sphere shader thing is pretty awesome. I couldn't figure out how to pick up the powerups, but it was still a lot of fun. Good graphics + audio.

thomastc 2012-12-18 18:40

Wow, very smooth gameplay. It feels really physical the way the enemies get pushed back by your bullets. It looks great too, with the wacko red/green 3D effect, even though I couldn't find my anaglyph glasses. Too bad there's no sound :(

angrygeometry 2012-12-18 23:59

leafo you've outdone yourself. this was awesome. looks fantastic.

ltyrosine 2012-12-19 01:46

Amazing for 48hours of work. Well done.

h-attila 2012-12-19 01:53

Nice work, great presentation (graphics and audio), but I found the game way too hard.

blackbulletiv 2012-12-19 21:13

Wow, this is amazing. Best LD game I've played so far by a long shot. I found to be far too hard though; couldn't make it past level one. There was also some occasional artefacts flickering; a bunch of vertical white lines.

puzzlem00n 2012-12-20 02:47

I can't make it past the second level, but it's so fun, I'm considering trying to play it again tomorrow. A brilliant example of what Love2D can do. The break-down:

+Fun, addicting gameplay
+Great visuals
-Tractor beams work strangely sometimes
-A bit difficult, but that's only a minus for some people.

georgebroussard 2012-12-20 11:40

Graphics and audio are great. Core mechanics are fun and exciting. Is there any way to heal your tank? Sometimes the orbits of the energy pods was odd and too big to hit the pad and seems like I lost them. Loved the fake sphere.

mokujin 2012-12-22 18:24

Cool effects!

deathray 2012-12-27 05:13

Smooth, nice to play, and very complete gameplay. The non-shader game (F1) is much easier to play and should be the default IMO.

naufr4g0 2012-12-27 19:46

I love graphics and 3D effect. The game is very hard but fun to play. I beat the first level, but not the 2nd. Anyway I'll play it again later. :)

neonlare 2013-01-06 09:27

Smooth to play and pretty damn nice looking! Good job :D.

xeke_death 2013-01-06 09:40

Pity the world wasn't completely spherical, but other than that, I liked the gameplay and the music.

pereubu 2013-01-06 10:41

Damn hard, damn good looking, damn fun, and ogosh i hated you during all the 48h because of all the beautiful screens you putted there D:

pixel_3 2013-01-06 11:50

Awesome music, cool shaders, nice gameplay, I'd say this is by far the best LD25 game I've seen so far, and it's a löve2D game(love the framework)

bwdevel 2013-01-06 17:47

I LOVE this game. Great concept, great use of LOVE2D.

The only improvement I would have made would have been to be able to sit on the detonation pad and have accumulated energy slowly drained in return for health, at a very inefficient rate of course.

cardboard 2013-01-06 21:00

Very hard and very fun! It also looks amazing.

schnerble 2013-01-07 14:02

Great game! It's probably my favourite of the 60-something I've played in LD25. Sound is excellent, graphics work well, and it's fun to play :) It did take me a bit to realise what I was supposed to be doing to collect the energy, but then maybe I'm just slow... :) Nice one!

jfroco 2013-01-07 14:17

Gfx/Music/Sfx... everything is great!!!! Best use of Love2D shaders capabilities I've seen. The game is a little too hard. But overall a terrific entry. Congrats.

cryovat 2013-01-07 20:52

I really loved the planet effect, impressed that you were able to pull that off in Love2D. :-)

I liked the tractor beam mechanic, although it kept making me die. Overall, it feels very complete and polished, great work!

zenmumbler 2013-01-07 21:01

Interesting and disorienting spherical effect. Hard to play. Will have to try again and not die.
