Very cool. Like the controls, simple but you can mess up so quickly if not careful. Would be nice if there was a way to see your score longer before it restarts.

I like that oclusion and movement depending on your shooting, well done!

Interesting idea and great work!

Neat that shooting is controlling your position and rotation as well as removing obstacles. nice blur effect for spinning.

Very nice! Took me a bit to grasp the idea, control-wise, but once I got into the flow of the game, it was strangely satisfying. Saved it so I could play it again later!

Lol, the game got a lot easier when I was not constantly shooting.
Good game. A bit spartanic on the presentation side.

Cool game. It remind me Bea Hazard.

Nice atmosphere! But it's really a small game ad I don't get the blurry effect ...

nobuyoshi 2014-12-09 00:34

I don't get the blurry effect, too.

The effects are WebGL, your browser needs to support the effect or it just renders 'normal' looking.

I like the simple controls yet very challenging game. The graphics were nice and the dizziness effect really suitable. It's really hard to stop spinning once you've started though.

Some potential things to consider:

Warping around screen if you fly out of it or some visual warning when you are approaching one edge, like a fuzzy red flash along that edge.

It could have been cool to have a radar/sonar that indicated closeness to object. Even better if there was a soundtrack and the music became hectic as object approached.

On complaint, or something I didn't understand:

The score said something like 4-5k but gamejolt didn't show any high score for me...

And to sum up. Sweet and well worked game.

I think this is a good idea to expand upon.

Cool game but really hard!

I feel this would make a great mobile game. The controls are very simple, but the game is challenging and fun.

ludipe 2014-12-10 00:25

Extremely simple but pretty fun at the same time; though it was frustrating getting over 7000 points and seing that Gamejolt highscores aren't working as they should ;(

Well done!

Hi there. Nice idea but I think a bit hard from the start, especially with the oxygen depletion... Nice sounds and visuals. Good job!

phocker 2014-12-13 22:38

pretty fun - super difficult to control - but thats part of the fun - great job

flipskiz 2014-12-21 17:27

It's a simple and fun high-score game, too bad the leaderboards don't work.

snickersnacks 2014-12-27 06:50

Omg such a good idea! I really like the game. Fun, addicting and weird! Some things I wanted... A highscore keeper so I know my best score and have something to beat. Also, near the edge of the screen game gets hard to play. Cant click off the edge so there is no way to recover if you get to close.

really nice concept :P
