I really like your game! The graphics are very cleverly done and the triangle idea is very cool :)
Are the graphics created by the program, or did you make a small animation of each background?

That's appreciated!

If you are talking about the plasma effects it's completely procedural. Different backgrounds are the same fx with different parameters.

Looks really interesting... Nice idea! :)

I really like the graphics! Especially the background and the triangle ;)

The X's had me a couple of times but after telling myself "I CAN DO THIS!" I was past it. A bricked it a little on the final level and managed it first time through my mad skill.

Great entry.

Your graphics are the cutest, it's sad u didn't use it for the all game.

Neat! Great abstract graphics, and the soundtrack sets the mood nicely.

The triangle graphics are great. The gameplay isn't that interesting unfortunately :/

Xgor, yeah, I'm aware of the problem. :( Spent too much time setting the mood with triangle scene and not enough time polishing gameplay.

Yaguar, your skill is welcome. :D I really appreciate you like the game.

Anna, it's an experiment. I like the result and definitely will use this style again.
I'd like to use a lot of simple geometric shapes filled with all kind of psychodelic FX. :)

I finished it! I really liked the control scheme, very simple idea and well-executed! Great job.

Glory to Great triangle! Cool concept but lacking sound / music while playing )

Cool stuff, would be killer with music within the levels!

Thanks everyone!

I'm sure it needs three things:
- better gameplay (a lot of it :)
- music and sfx
- more articulate ending

I wish there was more of that triangle and psychedelic background, but good entry anyway.

Very nice game. Well done graphics and animations.

The cutscenes look and sound fantastic! I wish the plasma effect and drone sound would stay throughout the whole game. They really set up an amazing athmosphere.
