Great Idea! I think the audio isn't too great though. Maybe if you are going sine wave music make it dynamic?

devshawn 2014-12-08 03:25

Lots of fun. Typo on controls: "W/S" and "A/S"

sharpcoder 2014-12-08 03:26

This is an amazing entry! It's really innovative, awesome job!

oh_andrej 2014-12-08 03:28

Wow, that's an amazing idea. Trying to control it makes my head hurt in a good way :D

taviandir 2014-12-08 03:29

Fun concept! As someone else said, I almost expected the sound to adapt to the waves - that would've really taken the game to an entire new level! Still good fun game, the lose screen comment made me laugh HARD :D:D:D

I liked it, I thought it was a clever idea. I did run into this bug, though, when I tried to increase the amplitude and decrease the frequency a bit too much: http://puu.sh/dlFhA/407011470f.jpg

Amazing!

Oh god I really like the look of this but my java install doesn't like this jar at all. Is there a specific version of Java to use?

bthedestroyermc 2014-12-08 17:03

Opened it on Mac OS/X and the window flashed a few times then closed. I'll try again when I can get on my desktop.

floatingghost 2014-12-08 17:04

Java 7, for hexagore

Great idea! Tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying once you do.

stephan_h 2014-12-08 17:10

Good idea. A bit frustrating, perhaps, because of the automatic movement, even if you can change the course somewhat.

A really interesting take on the "tower defense" genre! I wonder if you are going to extend this and what are your ideas.

I also wondered about a link between actual music and the sinewave.

I have encountered the same bug listed by Kwask, but at this point I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. Probably you are not allowed to get out of the screen.

One minor thing: make fullscreen possible :) My resolution didn't make it easy for me to play it!

Good job!

Nice game.

2014-12-08 19:41

Like it. Very addictive. Easy to pick up, nightmare to master (in a good way)

superpokeunicorn 2014-12-08 22:19

Very innovative! Never would have thought of something like that. Also, you get fives stars in humor for that cosine joke XD

My favorite game I've played so far! It's such an unusual method of control, yet it's actually quite intuitive and it makes you feel really clever when you hit something you were aiming at (or dodge an enemy's shot).

teamkwakwa 2014-12-09 15:21

I like the idea. Controlling is hard as we can move the basic axis up and down which would have add a dimension. Maybe some dynamic music as mention before in the comments. Very innovative.

jnyknn 2014-12-10 15:56

Wonderful gameplay concept, I must admit.

grambler1 2014-12-11 00:02

I liked the idea and the game was fun, but it was really mind-bending control. :)

Pretty sure I've seen that explosion before though ;^)

junuxx 2014-12-11 00:11

That was okay! Couldn't beat the boss.

wierd0 2014-12-11 20:54

Sorry, I can't play or rate because I got an Invalid or corrupt file error, and don't really have the patience to try to fix it right now... Looks cool though!

wakka 2014-12-11 21:00

amazing idea, love it!

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 23:11

Nice idea :)

cmcoto 2014-12-12 03:20

Loved your idea! Had trouble controlling it, but it was good play!

zkenshin 2014-12-12 20:44

Quite a unique idea, well done.

csanyk 2014-12-13 04:21

Interesting concept. I've not played something like this before.

01rafael 2014-12-14 15:22

This game is pretty innovativ! Great entry!

grabengroup 2014-12-14 15:26

Nice Idea!

Lucariatias 2014-12-14 16:10

I don't think you included the natives for Mac.

_waterman7_ 2014-12-14 16:15

Great concept and really nice take on the theme. Good job!

01101101 2014-12-14 16:51

Nice concept!

asobitech 2014-12-16 09:38

Really original idea, good work.

Hey, I did a Sine wave based game myself for LD #26! (different gamplay) :)
