Really nice mood on this! The music really added a lot, and I liked the idea of 'memorizing guard patterns' a lot! Good work!

nice music ;)
Explain the controls of the game in the descr.
Fun and nicely polished. Could have done with being a bit longer, but otherwise very good!
Solid game. It was quick and fun. Love how you get smaller everytime you die, making it a little bit easier.
Very smooth graphics. Nice music. I like how getting smaller when you get hit makes the game easier instead of harder.
Nice game man! I love how essentially built three difficulties into the game from the get go, then each time the pluses spawned it was like going to a new level. I only wish it has been longer!
Short and sweet. Nice core to the game.
Liking this:)
Really liked that. Would like a lot more.. but you know.. 48 and all that. Thanks!
Soundtrack is kickass... btw.
Thanks for all the great feedback!
Those that liked the music, if you are interested in an mp3 you can grab it from the game's asset folders: http://www.thinkingswiftly.com/swarm/sound/song.mp3
Cheers! Going to return ratings to all comments that I can run on my Mac.
Nice. The level layout looks vaguely familiar ;-) Good stuff, great mood with the music.
I like the music. I've got the same start idea, but I stay more pacman like.
Cool short game, I liked the idea of the hero getting smaller with each hit, so you'd have an easier time evading the more often you lose. That makes it an extra challenge to beat the game without getting hit :)
Sound effects really satisfying too!
Booo~ wish it was longer
I really love the sound when one reaches the white cube! Also nice idea that one is getting smaller and smaller, when hit.
Very challenging! and a great game concept!
I really like the fact that you get smaller when you die, it makes the game easier, so it's somewhat a built in difficulty level.
Fluid movement and animations, very well done, especially for a Canvas game
Another fellow JS/Canvas coder. Nice game!
Pretty fun, though not much depth - I do really like the built in difficulty curve that others have mentioned, smart idea
Fun game, and good mechanics. The animations feel good (fades) and the faces are funny. I wish there were more puzzles and levels, but it's a fun game.
Nice idea. It could do with more levels, as well as a gradual increase in number of enemies on the screen. Good effort!
Very well done.
Fun to play. Challenging. Just too short, you gotta add more levels (of course on the same screen, haha)
The music really helped the mood of this one! Clean graphics and fun gameplay! Simple, short, and very enjoyable.
