Very nice game. The graphics and the music where great but for me it was to hard. I think I should give it another try later when I have slept a little. Thank you for this great game.

psychomonster 2014-12-09 08:39

Cool style :) Its challenging, it sounds good and the gameplay is smooth. Good game, good job

maurogik 2014-12-09 09:36

Nice game ! The music and visuals are both really good. nicely done !

sirricecake 2014-12-09 09:51

I like the graphics (especially the circles and the score). After the background turned orange, nothing happend anymore. Is this intentional? I waited for around a minute and then quit.

infectionteam 2014-12-09 09:51

Cool style, would love a leaderboard :)

camlang 2014-12-09 10:34

@SirRicecake, try windows build. To start the actual gameplay hit space. When the first wave of bullets end the background color will change and after a while (7 secs or so) the next wave will start. There are 4 waves in the game.

flashlight 2014-12-09 13:07

The style is cool and the music rocks! The mechanism is clear and easy to learn, but the difficulty curve rises like instantly... It is a nice entry for sure!

kovalsky 2014-12-09 13:08

Nice musik ^^

oatsbarley 2014-12-09 13:09

Very polished, definitely agree it could have done with a leaderboard. Nice job!

gnutek 2014-12-09 13:10

Looks, sounds and plays great. Although would benefit from some instructions in the actual game :)

acerunox 2014-12-09 13:11

I love games like this. Nice visuals and great music! I've got 8450 points on first try.

lekochen 2014-12-09 13:12

Hype! Great music and visual effects.

monsieurvinou 2014-12-09 13:13

Great game! The gameplay was smooth and the game in itself was good.
The only thing I didn't understand was what the little balls were doing. Should I intercept it? Let it pass ? Maybe a little "How to" or some popups would have been good.

vegard1992 2014-12-09 13:24

Graphics are awsome =)
Maybe work on the gameplay though

larzan 2014-12-09 16:10

Beautiful, great visuals and audio, fun to play, love it!

camlang 2014-12-09 20:34

@acerunox, good score for the first try. Keep it up!

camlang 2014-12-09 20:38

@monsieurvinou, these balls are actually pentagons :) and they are bonuses. The white one enlarges shield, the green one adds one hp, the red one is anti-bonus and shrinks the shield. And yes, to collect a bonus you have to intercept it.

thecord 2014-12-09 20:57

5/5 awesome game :-)

selfishgenome 2014-12-09 20:58

Nice. I really like the artistic style. Perfect mobile game that could be highly addictive, but I am sure there were some triangle set ups that were impossible to avoid.

pickensincorporated 2014-12-09 21:03

This reminds me heavily of Super Hexagon, and that's great! Stylish and sleek, great music, slightly hard too hard to tell which triangle you should be deflecting first, and it'd be nice to have a bit more audio and haptic feedback when you do something right or wrong - flashy, noisy, etc.!

thomastc 2014-12-09 21:10

Holy crap that's awesome. Super slick, super smooth, and yet super simple. Favourite game I've seen so far!

lynx 2014-12-09 21:10

Wonderful game! I like how the visual effects move the music so smoothly (unlike my game that looks like spastic ferret)

As a graphic designer, I must your visuals are gorgeous!

I wish you had an OSX port because I want to keep this game to play locally all the time

apiotrw 2014-12-09 21:11

Really nice visuals. I like minimalistic games.

lukezaz 2014-12-09 21:11

Very fun game with very nice and fitting music.

beerman 2014-12-09 21:12

Awesome. Feels like a bullet-hell Super Hexagon. I liked this enough to move it from my "LD31 rating" folder to my actual game library, would love to see an expansion.

camlang 2014-12-09 21:25

@Pickens Inc., yeah some patterns are sporadic thats' what we gonna fix. More engaging and enjoyable feedback on blocking is the next on the list.

aglavra 2014-12-09 21:26

Really liked the style of the game. It could be nice mobile time-killer game.
Sometimes, when I catch something white, the shield shrinks (Web version).

da_kid 2014-12-09 21:44

Really Good.

ohsqueezy 2014-12-09 22:00

Cool integration of the title screen and game field~

tsabanski 2014-12-09 23:35

I really loved the colors and the music.

The difficulty spikes pretty drastically, but that's not necessarily a problem. I would've liked to've kept my shield through the levels, though. :) I'd love to see it with touch controls!

If this was a game on a mobile marketplace, I would definitely purchase it. :D

devark 2014-12-10 00:07

Love how the music is in sync with the game. Really fun and polished, great job!

wetdesertrock 2014-12-10 01:56

I think the pulsing with the beat was a bit too obvious, it just seemed a bit too much. Maybe if you made it more subtle. Sound effects need to be had, for instance I was never sure if I was dying or moving to the next level. I know at one point I went back to the main screen, but not sure if that was because I was dying or if it was a bug or something.

camlang 2014-12-10 11:27

@WetDesertRock, thanks for your feedback. You're right it's hard to tell when level or wave ends or when you die, we'll try to fix that.

louis-denizet 2014-12-10 12:07

Really liked it, the sound does a lot ;)

spolsh 2014-12-10 19:02

I wish I could play but got Web or Windows downloading error. Please check that out :)

camlang 2014-12-10 20:42

@spolsh, downloading of the windows build and web seems to work fine. What does exactly the error says?

si1ver 2014-12-10 23:10

Hello from Microsoft GamesJam!
You have one of most stylish visuals on the event!
Gameplay is also avesome!
Five stars!

camlang 2014-12-11 10:48

@Si1ver, hey buddies! Congratulations on winning!

exoddinary 2014-12-12 15:10

cool game! and nice music too!

gre 2014-12-12 15:24

Nice pace, well polished graphics, music perfectly matches the gameplay.

kitch 2014-12-14 20:49

Really slick looking game and great audio integration! Really good work! Thanks!

gebirgsbaerbel 2014-12-14 21:37

The looks of the game are minimalistic and awesome. The game mechanics are simple, but seem to work well enough. Sometimes it is impossible to fend of all triangles however (at least for me).

mrbadivan 2014-12-14 22:15

Very good game from GamesJam Microsoft! Im happy to play it here =)

insality 2014-12-15 18:10

great one!
awesome work! I am wonder, how this can be so beautiful

tritegames 2014-12-21 19:49

Nice visuals and transitions. It's hard but fun :)

drgeraud 2014-12-23 21:42

Nice visuals, great music, good gameplay. One of the finest game I've seen so far. :]

namide 2014-12-23 22:08

Very beautiful game

xtremeive 2014-12-23 22:09

Love the aesthetics of the game. Great great great execution (yeah I wrote that 3 times).

geckoo1337 2014-12-23 22:37

It seems to me very similar avec Hexagone. Cool concept. Aesthetic is awsome by his simplicity. Neat ++

sh1rogane 2014-12-23 22:42

Very solid and fun rhythm game with very good music. I also tested the postcompo version and that is even better!

garethiw 2014-12-23 23:05

really enjoyed playing this. The audio and pulse of the game work well.

jackrugile 2014-12-24 02:27

Damn, this game has some of the best styles both visually and aurally this LD. Excellent work!

lynx 2014-12-24 04:47

Post-Compo version rocks! So much more my speed and I love the music!

tuism 2014-12-24 05:27

It's very interesting, really polished, but I feel like the controls let the concept down entirely. Maybe it needs to use a move controller or a analogue stick - playing with the mouse is just painful.

I assume it does support the controller :)

Without reading explanations I thought the arrow things are stuff to be dodged - it's BLACK which looks bad and pointy which looks damaging. So I think the visual communication aspect could be refined a bit.

Otherwise good job :)

Jeremias 2014-12-24 15:29

Simple and addictive game. Visuals and music are great and fit very well together.

radmars 2014-12-28 01:01

Great music but I wish that it was incorporated into the gameplay more - the bullet behavior/movement didn't feel particularly rhythmic at all. Also it's weird that one of the "powerups" is actually bad for you, it just seemed intuitive to always pick those up. Regardless this is a solid game and it would be awesome to see it expanded upon. Nice work!

el-pepi 2014-12-28 21:49

Good music and graphic style. I wish it had some sound efects.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-28 22:35

Fantastic presentation, very stylish. Excellent music too. I like the colour changes for the different waves, and the additional pulsing elements when the beat kicks in. The gameplay is simple but does the job. Great stuff!

akirassasin 2014-12-29 00:04

I'm bad at this fast-paced games :( the music made me go on, though!
