Very simple and well done!
Although lacking music (and an quit button), and the collision being, sometimes, imprecise, I liked it xD
Also, I'm waiting to test SDL 2.0 on release.

Ah yes... it's actually always imprecise! All approximated bounding box collisions. Never got around to improving it. Probably should have worked on that instead of getting the Windows build.
A little hard to figure out what was going on, could use a good introduction.
Yeah. 48h is a bit short for improving xD
The quit button issue is caused 'cause the window created is taller than my screen (notebooks..) so I can`t click the quit button..
Anyway, I liked it.. Reading the code right now, `cause I program in SDL 1.2 (most time + OpenGL).
Huh, a little confusing at the beginning, but it turns out to be pretty great! I love the switching between black and white, the exploration and the way the skill collection is handled / rotated. It's an awesome combination of gameplay elements to create something really fun and unique. Great job!
I would have liked to ease players into the mechanics a little gentler by predefining the start position more. And I had great ideas for visual effects and animations that would have helped a lot... 48 hours... little sleep... no OpenGL calls...
Thanks for taking the time to figure it out and glad you enjoyed it!
Nice but a little hard to get into - could use some explanation on some of the mechanics and as others have said - the collisions being that imprecise makes it tricky to control.
I drew some inspiration from Star Seed Pilgrim in that I wanted it to be a little difficult to figure out. Games feel more rewarding to me that way. Making the effects of your actions more obvious though is definitely something I would have liked more time to do.
It took me 10 minutes to figure out what the hell was going on, but once I got it, I enjoyed this game deeply.
@timtipgames That's exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for sticking with it :)
Yeah, this game took me like 5 minutes to figure out but once I got it, it was pretty cool. I liked the gameplay concept of collecting only the powers you needed and not all of them. If you collect too many, you have to waste too much power to cycle them. I like the concept but don't like the way it's presented ie. the art. If you changed the art style and made the enemies less unforgiving, you could have something really cool here. Good job.
It could use a set of instructions but other than that, pretty fun!
Really cool ! Simple and effective =)
While the item system sort of confused me, I did have a semi good time with it. I feel differentiating some of the graphics for items and enemies would of made it less confusing sometimes as differentiating them while being chased sometimes was a bit confusing. Still, a fairly unique shooter/survivor concept matched with an interesting take on minimalism.
Very minimal indeed, though I like the hexagonal styling. I like how small you've kept the file size on this one, too!
Interesting game. Agree with other commenter, collision detection could have been better, got "wrongly" killed a couple times. ;)
I was confused by the inventory, took a little while to realize it was cycling through them. I assumed there was another key to control it, which I kept looking for... but now I assume there isn't. Still not quite sure what the timer was for, nor what the green globs were for.
Good concept, with a bit of refining, you'd have something quite fun.
I had a few issues with the collision detection, but apart from that, very nicely done. The world needs more puzzle/stealth games!
I really really enjoyed this! It did however need a good tutorial.
I enjoyed wandering through the environment and seeing what situations arose. Great hexagon maze and distribution of power-ups and enemies!
There's some really cool stuff in here, but it's really confusing when you start playing, which can be tricky when you are trying to rate as many games as possible and don't have much free time :)
I also felt I was just wondering around without a purpose. Is there a goal other to survive as long as possible? Very original, nevertheless.
