Very cool game, and concept. I was a bit frustrated at first with how difficult it was to single out the regrowing patterns, but once I got the weapon upgrades the game became much more satisfying. I found switching between layers a bit jarring, and thought that the screen could be a bit more zoomed in on the first levels, but overall fantastic.

It's amazing !

Damn. This is an amazing game. Ridiculously addicting, I was 15 minutes in before I even realized. Definitely minimal, but very cool.

The early levels were rather simple to pass by simply holding down fire and circling all around, switching layers as necessary, but it was still fun.

Great job!

+Audiovisually pleasing.
+Well polished.
+Fits the theme spot on.

-Needs a slowdown button (movement or time).
-Could have a few additional mechanics for keeping it interesting.

Really nice. Very musical which made it pretty enjoyable to play through although i didn't get the chance to play through it all I'm guessing it does get a lot harder. Nice job!

Artistically, this game is beautiful. The mechanics can be a bit frustrating though.

Very cool! Loving the use of the layers, and the song being created by your actions. Well executed.

Love the explosion effect, very original, i like it, btw it seems not able to exit with ESC key, i have to press Alt+F4

shohs 2013-04-29 23:29

This is really great! I really liked how the sound was part of the gameplay, and the visuals fit very well. Good job!

kitch 2013-04-29 23:35

thanks everyone!

yeah... i realize it could have used a lot more balancing...

@hgouveia - i don't understand? why would you want to exit? but seriously... esc should kill you... which in turn allows you to go back and exit out. (i'll admit i didn't to extensive qa on this feature though...)

Absolutely gorgeous game! Finished the game pretty quickly, would love to play more levels :)

cherrynukacola 2013-04-30 03:40

Beautiful. Your use of sound was really clever.

depp 2013-04-30 03:44

Wow! Best soundtrack ever!

thenmal 2013-04-30 03:47

Very fun concept really enjoyed this one.

Great job!

messiano 2013-04-30 03:52

Really cool game, very appealing graphics and sound, but after a while I got a bit confused.

zathalos 2013-04-30 05:37

I love the audio cues and visuals. The gameplay was simple and smooth. I however, would've liked everything to be a bit bigger, it was kind of small. Good job.

prelucid 2013-04-30 06:55

Beautiful.

hadyn 2013-04-30 08:00

Perfect! Awesome sound, visuals, mood, potato facts. Well done =]

chman 2013-04-30 09:32

Very cool concept and fits the theme perfectly, a bit difficult though.

puzzlem00n 2013-04-30 23:47

Don't look now, but I think our games have the same name...

puzzlem00n 2013-05-01 00:48

Wow. How is it that our games both consist of squares, and somehow yours look so much better?

A very nice, very well polished game. I love the sound effects, and how the fact that shooting spawns the obstacles, meaning you choose your own pace. Very clever concept, fun to play, good job!

ultimatewalrus 2013-05-01 03:42

very nice! i like this one. it's fun, and the squares make really cool patterns.

fueelin 2013-05-01 06:06

Really cool game. Interesting aiming/moving mechanic, and I liked the different layers as well. Good use of audio, you're right that there's some similar ideas with my game in that regard :)

ithildin 2013-05-01 15:39

I loved it. The layer concept was very imaginative, and the visuals and sound fit the theme perfectly. Nice! :)

khaotom 2013-05-02 08:22

Very pleasing game to play and listen.

gungnir 2013-05-02 11:10

Good job.

bytegrove 2013-05-02 13:31

Wow, what a beautiful game, the sound effects coming together making beautiful music! Love it! A really nice use of the theme together with music creates a really solid entry. I'm not the biggest fan of music games, but this was something different. My only gripe was that it was hard to see what layers the powerups were in, they were a little confusing. The movement of the player could do with some acceleration as well, instead of instant velocity. Would love to see you continue on this!

alucard-j 2013-05-02 23:09

I think it's all been said already! Great interactive sound, clever use of layers, can get very frantic clearing those regenerating blocks. Well Done =]

sylvain-p 2013-05-04 03:44

Amazing,it's beautiful and a cool game. If I have to find an only fault, I think it's hard to aim. It's been half an hour I play and I don't feel better than whan I have start.

Jeremias 2013-05-04 09:22

Very polished and fun game. The sound effects triggered by the player's actions give your game a nice atmosphere. Your tutorial is well done, too.

hd408 2013-05-06 00:35

Shooting sound gets repetitive, could use some realtime alterations. But overall - quite nice. Was difficult to navigate at first. It was also delightful to suddenly find out that there are no power-downs, as slow bullets cause massive damage!

jorjon 2013-05-07 14:28

Nice concept, but would be better to know what powerup you are having.

kill0u 2013-05-09 11:38

Great concept :)

rafaelsales 2013-05-14 17:27

Great game. Extremely fits to the theme and is a fun shooter with some pieces of puzzle. Congrats!!
