Very unique entry, though a little too easy. It was unclear to me what the point of the towers was, but otherwise, very good.

What one can create out of a screensaver. Really neat game, i didnt think it was too easy.

Really cool stuff, what an amazing look!

I didn't stick with it long, but v.cool

I loved it! Great use of Theme. Good job!

Cool entry! The mechanics of combat don't seem very deep, but they work smoothly. The visual style is great and I think the abstract audio goes well with it. Adding a little more complexity and balance to the combat would make this truly shine. Nice job!

Beautiful game, both visually an aurally! Well done!

Cool looking game, really loved the background and the overall display of things ingame. The graphics remind me of darwinia in a way, the gameplay is a bit minimal though

It looked really nice, but it never felt like I could deal any damage to the enemy. Anytime I was close they would break formation and go after a blue guy that had just spawned.

The look of this is really beautiful. Hexits still look super cool to me, and I love the glow and the color choices. The sound is also really nice. I wasn't able to beat the computer - and I think the energy bar is a bit overly hard to read because of the graphics style. Good job, though!

Really neat idea. I especially liked how you went REALLY far with the "minimalism" idea to the point where even the UI is created from triangles. Fun to play, although I didn't feel like I had a lot of control.

Hmmmm... This game mixed my senses =)
Good entry, anyway ^_^

Triangles ftw!!! I like it because it's all made out of triangles as game models.

What a weird game! I like it, however there's not much to do but spam the left side of the screen. Like texel, I couldn't figure out what towers do. Cool anyways

bompo 2013-05-02 08:14

Thanks for the comments! The towers shoot at and attract incoming enemies. A good strategy is to place towers directly above or below your units to lure enemy fighters away from them.

This was cool! Very ambient and fitting audio.

miharbi 2013-05-02 22:38

Enjoyed playing this game a lot. Also loved the graphical style and the noises the fighters made when spawned.

I really would've liked it if this played two or even three times faster than it does (no changes, just game speed). It'd be a pretty cool light show, and I actually think it'd increase the strategy, strangely enough. Right now (and also if sped up), there doesn't really seem to be any. As an experiment, I tried playing a round by just clicking in one spot on the left side as fast it could generate energy, and I won the game much quicker than any other strategy I had tried. I actually managed to lose, quite badly, when I tried to employ towers heavily.

But the all-glowy-triangle look is pretty awesome, really stands out as something special and minimalist, and the sounds match it perfectly. If the gameplay just gained a little depth in some way, it'd be really fun to play too.

Just briliant and beautiful concept! And visualisation!

moomoo112 2013-05-03 03:57

I liked the graphics style, but it could have used difficulty levels

fishbrain 2013-05-03 07:05

Intriguing... nice mood.

stevejohnson 2013-05-05 22:46

Pretty and entertaining, but shallow. Music got old fast. I could see this getting really good with more variety and control.

egos 2013-05-07 01:48

i like the grahic and music style but i win the game without watching the screen ......

dremelofdeath 2013-05-07 10:01

This game really caught my eye. It has great visuals. That said, the game itself is a little shallow as there is exactly one winning strategy and towers are pointless (a waste of valuable resources). There's no continuation or progression, though, and that would add another layer on top of an already great game.

zkenshin 2013-05-08 01:19

Very neat looking game. :)

jonapulse 2013-05-11 22:54

Interesting and very good looking. Though it was difficult to figure out how it worked and what "good" decisions were.

turbodindon 2013-05-12 13:45

Fascinating experience!
Love atmosphere, sounds and graphics.
I lost the first time I played, but after I won all the time.
