Nice, I like what you did with music.
Shooting somehow feels off... I guess something there is just not what I am used to in similar games so expectations of shooting and result feel off but not sure...

I got "An error has occured while running this applet. Please contact support to resolve this issue." so I couldn't run it :(
Oh no! Can you tell me what OS you're running? Also, you might try to download the executable JAR (any of the OS downloads); sometimes the lwjgl applet loader gets finnicky about assets.
I like the engine used. LWJGL is the leader in Java gaming.
you gotta tell me how to get the sound working in an applet. it wont load for me in my game.
Pretty cool game though :)
Neat game idea! The audio was especially well done. But sometimes it seemed like the baddie cubes would spawn right on top of me...
Nice game! I like the way what you do affects the music. Very unique and different! Awesome
Sorry can't run it, how can I get it working?
I really enjoy the basic mechanic. Seems like it has some nice potential. I appreciated the restrained graphics and sound. I do have some issues with the controls. I found the fact that I stopped when I fired to be very frustrating. And the red guys got me pretty much every time. Some polish to flesh out the experience and I think this will be a fun web game.
Web version didn't work for me =/
Quite fun, I like the music.
Controls need a bit more work, the way you stop moving when you shoot. Also I guess the enemies can spawn on top of you.
Very good game !
Nice novel mechanic with the beam and multiple hit bonus. Love the explosions.
cool game. i really like how shooting squares makes music. the particles when they die are really cool tool. I really like it. i like that you included xbox controls. the only thing is that you stop when you shoot. i think it would play better if you kept moving normally while shooting. maybe even if the beam stays behind. it was cool though. could be a lot of fun.
You did a graeat job with the music, man. On the gameplay side, it's a bit difficult to do all the work with only horizontal and vertical beams, but it was fun :)
Sometimes I just die on startup :( One of the better avoider games in the comp!
I liked how the enemies changed the music, and I liked how "minimizing" multiple enemies in one shot changed the sounds.
Nicely Done!
That is lots of fun. Well done.
Awesome job! I especially like the music, and the risk of missing damaging my score means I won't just be able to spam firing. Only complaint is when an enemy spawns almost directly on top of you.
WOW! very original bro! nice work :D
nice particles ^-)
Looks beautiful, plays well. Great job! (Web version worked for me, I'm on chrome, Windows 7)
very minimalistic, cool music and yeahh i little kind of geometry wars :) Nice... but there are a few problems with the controlls ... in europe the "z" and "x" keys are miles away from each other... but i like the game... played it 5 times :)
Neat graphics and nice job with the audio. The small red ones started really close sometimes, almost instakilled, but other than that, the gameplay and controls felt smooth.
Nice execution! I love shooters and rhythm games, and this one was a good example of both. It reminded me a bit of a couple of Bit.Trip games. Fantastic job :)
I didn't find any problem with the controls and I'm from Europe as well, but I guess that @psychomonster is using an AZERTY keyboard layout, so I can understand his/her point.
Very nice. the game is very complete and funny.
A lot of fun and the rhythmic music was cool sounding too! I got a highscore of 13,214 in the end.
This was actually a lot of fun!
11k first try... little orange ones did for me. Nice game... Grindy music, plink plonk too... good job
I like the music. And the combo scoring system.
I played the Windows Jar file.
Loved this game! One of my favorites in the compo. The scoring mechanic was great. It felt a bit like a rhythm game the way the sounds worked and I think you should build that in. Like getting higher bonuses for shooting on the beat. Great job!
Fun game. Particularly liked the aesthetics of the game.
