Intriguing, but I gave up too quickly. I really like the concept of not instructing the user, and having them try to figure out the game. Has a mist quality.

The soundtrack in the back of my head was ViHart (youtuber) going "triangle triangle triangle triangle..." And this is by no means a bad thing! :D

Interesting concept. Graphics are nice and the game is mysterious. The idea of controling the interface that control the player make the game more active than it may appeir and I found it entertaining.

I found one of the four triangle because of luck (A weird flying object) and kill some red things.

Sound effects are nice at the beginning but after ten minutes, they gave me a little headache. : /

Not sure what I just played but I liked it.

Mmmh this game seems to be really well realized. But, i feel stupid because i can't understand what i have to do. Not enough intuitive imo. Maybe if you low difficulty of the 1st challenge (that i don't understand) you will help player to understand his goal and how to achieve it.
Losing sound scared me.

I like riddle games, and try to figure out what, and how to do it with alien commands, is an interesting riddle. But I don't know what to do know, I activated all four light blue triangles, I avoided and/or destroy the red - and understand they respawn on the three inverted black triangles - but nothing else to do, no more with the "alarm" that throw a yellow temporary triangle. And then, I was stucked into one of the respawn triangles, because I have hit one red "vilain" and it respawned directly on me, then die again and respawn elsewhere, but after that I was unable to do anything...

I did understand how to move, but not what to do.

Excellent idea absolutely love it. But somewhat unfathomable.

I liked the mysterious elements to it and the effects.

Really mysterious game, loved finding out what everything did... but I'm still not sure what I had to do after going to all purple triangles and collecting all light blue triangles in the background. Also I still have no idea what the yellow triangles I can place do...
But I really liked the strange atmosphere, certainly an experience.

interesting blend of strategy and shooter. took me awhile to figure out the controls but thats part of the challenge. still not sure of my objective or what the light triangles do or what the the blue bar is for. very cool.

Great entry! Figuring out the controls was hard, but very satisfying in the end.

love the concept, very interesting and original, great visuals, well done :)

good mood and interesting concept.
I liked to search how it's work. After that, this ship is very complicated to control, Maybe the balance between mystery and gameplay isn't good enough?
Good graphics anyway.
