Fun game. Good job. There is never enough pews :D

incd021 2014-08-24 16:15

Thanks :)

This is so retro, cool game.

incd021 2014-08-24 17:18

Remember that when voting starts ;)
I miss the good old C64 days... hmmm...

Interesting use of how the bullets bounce back and forth. I found it to destroy some of the objectives and also add a little more value in each shot. Controls felt slippery

cmayhem 2014-08-25 08:26

Great fun, good graphics and sounds and a neat idea.
Controls were a bit difficult.

ahmedmohi 2014-08-25 09:11

Good game ,took me some time to get use to it but nice .

customphase 2014-08-25 09:12

nice little game. controls are too hard in my opinion, too floaty. i liked the wormhole effect on the screen.

pjimmy 2014-08-25 09:21

can't play your game on the web :(

incd021 2014-08-25 09:30

I did spent a lot of time trying to gen the controls as I wanted them, but this was the best I could do.
If I removed the sliding, the game is way to easy ;)
Thanks for trying it out :D

incd021 2014-08-25 09:36

@pjimmy Can't find a way to contact you, but I would really like to know what browser you are using, and what happens when you try to play the game.
Thanks

pjimmy 2014-08-25 10:07

@INC$D021 my bad, I've just discovered that you're using unity web player. Gonna report when I'm in Windows.

td5 2014-08-25 13:01

I like the game style. Getting shot by myself was unexpected but an interesting feature.

zirconcode 2014-08-25 13:05

Very pretty retro graphics, interesting theme/execution. Think controls took away from the game play though.

Keep on making those awesome retro shot-em-ups!

franklins-ghost 2014-08-25 13:21

One of my favourites so far. Liked the way you made every shot count with the bullets circling around. Really fun to play.

digiraze 2014-08-25 15:58

Good game. Very intense, because if you don't kill the wormhole fast enough you die, but if you shoot too much you will need to dodge your own bullet.

incd021 2014-08-26 04:45

Thanks for the nice feedback :)
"Getting shot by myself was unexpected but an interesting feature"
It sounds like I need to work on an old game idea, shooting yourself sounds popular :D
Glad you like it, even if the controls are hard.. With a bit of training it isn't that bad ;)

mrexcessive 2014-08-26 07:56

Hi there. Liked the defender-a-like aspects. Not so keen on shooting myself in the back, pays to be accurate I guess.

incd021 2014-08-26 15:01

@mrexcessive: I had to stop players from just hammering away on the firing button :)

randomnamegenerator 2014-08-27 05:22

Game was bugging out after the first death where I kept being pulled to the right. Was a fun game. Really liked the animations.

ninjascript 2014-08-27 05:28

The physics are too floaty for the amount of precision you need to destroy the targets, but otherwise it's a pretty neat game :)

incd021 2014-08-27 07:09

@~SquigglySoup~: Not "bugging out" :) I expect that you were at one of the edges? I did write in the description "Watch out for highly warped space, it'll drag you in" ;)
@ninjascript: The floatyness wasn't planed, but without it the game is way to easy. You'll get the hang of it fast, if you keep trying :) I have nooo problem with it.. now. ;)
Thanks for playing and the feedback.. :D

soulgame 2014-08-27 10:41

Arrgh, the borders are such a filthy trick!! Didn't expect to be caught in a vortex there. Fun game, nice gameplay. And nice take of the theme, it made me watch out for my shots and don't waste ammo. Good teach!

snowconesolid 2014-08-28 00:17

Dude those particle effects are boss! Really nice entry! nice presentation and good sound effects. Its an enjoyable game :)

miwuc 2014-08-28 07:09

Nice game! The bullets that wrap around is a brilliant idea. It really makes this game stand out.

incd021 2014-08-28 07:49

Thanks @snowconesolid and @miwuc for the very nice comments :)
Means a lot :D

toubib 2014-08-28 10:20

xD killed myself so many times.

incd021 2014-08-28 10:37

@Toubib.. Glad to hear that :) Means you played it many times :D Thanks.
Hope you enjoyed the frustration :)

Your game pissed me off a bit, having to start all over every time I made a smaaaaal mistake ;)

jjhaggar 2014-08-29 16:59

Its a good idea and works good. Congrats!

GreyShock 2014-08-29 17:02

Really great design decision to make the bullets loop eternally, it gives you a reason to not shoot all the time but also allows you to set "defensive" barriers in the edges to make the world you have to defend smaller!

xanjos 2014-08-29 17:45

I love the fact that you have to be really careful with your shots otherwise you'll end up having to dodge a sea of your own bullets. Game itself was very enjoyable to play too.

incd021 2014-08-29 18:07

Thanks :) Fun to see strategies emerge :D Laying a good solid round of bullets in the top of the world, makes everything a bit to easy, but hey, didn't know that when I made the game ;)

nightshadow0 2014-08-29 23:10

The bullet warping mechanic is very interesting. The edges dragging you in caught me by surprise the first time, though; i suppose i should've read the instructions more closely. Nice work!

incd021 2014-08-30 07:37

Thanks @NightShadow0 :)

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-08-30 10:08

Nice little game, really fun to play and the bullets warping thing is a nice twist of gameplay. Good job!

catonmars 2014-08-30 11:44

Nice shooting game :) Although I think the enemy bullets are too unforgivable.

incd021 2014-08-30 11:46

@CatOnMars The enemies don't shoot... You do ;)

adharris 2014-09-02 02:31

I like the visual style, namely the retro sprites with some more modern distortion effects.

jukimv1986 2014-09-02 04:49

I joined the evil universe pretty soon :) And I was getting hit by my own bullets to top it up. Nice and fun game, well done!

incd021 2014-09-03 17:37

Thanks for the kind words :)

dylanwolf 2014-09-05 02:59

Neat twist on the shooter genre. I like that your own bullets are often more dangerous than enemies, forcing you to be more precise.

pansapiens 2014-09-09 01:26

Fun once I got the hang of it - the bullet wrapping makes for an interesting feedback loop. Sometimes it helps you out, but since they can also hit your ship it pays to be accurate - creates an interesting tension :) Love that background music too.

incd021 2014-09-09 05:22

@pansapiens thanks :) the background music is the first game music I have ever done, so glad you liked it :)

torvik88 2014-09-14 06:50

Nice game! Getting shot by my own bullets is a double edge sword. The bad part is that i do damage to myself but i also found out that those bullets helped me destroy other portals.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-14 23:20

Cool game! I included it in part 26 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/hvOt_bkuFkM
