Nice audio; fits well. Game is a nice idea but it could do with being a bit less predictable: Once I'd got used to going around the outer ring there wasn't much going on (until the one that finally hit me and I couldn't do anything about it).
I like that you can shoot yourself.

I enjoyed it, this could be made into something nice :)

It's a nice idea and I like the audio. Keep it up!

Very nice entry. The music is cool, and the pace of the game is great. One thing I found annoying was that i could not replay the game right away. I had to wait 3-5 seconds to start again. Great entry!

Really fun arcade-type gameplay and a complementary soundtrack! I wish you'd decided to keep a unified graphics style though. The old-school Atari-vector graphics look great, but pasting raster art spaceships on top of them ruins it :(
I still enjoyed it though: Simple and fun.

nice entry ! effective idea and fun control ! better art would make it shine, but it works.

I like the music and audio (everyone's game sounds like DrPetter these days, which is a good thing)! The gameplay was really unique. I like the various orbits!

Nice execution on the theme; enjoyed the callback aesthetics. Would have been nice if the restart time were a little shorter.

Works with wine under Linux.
Reminds me of old times in arcades, very fitting audio.

Very nice, like it ^-^

Really cool idea. It's pretty hard but really fun. Nice work.

Quite good!

Pretty unique game mechanic, I really enjoyed this one. Loved the retro audio!

Solid work! The combination of very easy death and a long restart time was a bit frustrating, but it's fun for the time I can stay alive (which, to be honest, isn't that long).

I liked the music and art style. I wish there wasn't a delay when restarting, but then again I died a lot...lol. Fun game, very challenging.

Really cool game :) !

sweet. like the game play, audio and sound fx are veryvery nice. it s funny how you can screw up by flying into the sun or outa space :D. what I found most frustrating was when they enemies spawned directly onto your position (prblby on the inner most ring) me was to slow to react :D but all in all very nice game

Good mechanic, I enjoyed playing it :)

I got an error: OpenAL32.dll is missing, so I could not play this.

intogamesuk 2014-12-20 20:08

Hi! Thanks for all the comments -- glad people are enjoying the game!

>>I got an error: OpenAL32.dll is missing

It needs OpenAL. The link is in the description -- should get things running :D

Lovely! nice and addictive concept!

norgg 2014-12-20 22:28

Nice! Enjoyed this, so hard though. Got up to ~400, the preset high score of 1000 seems a bit harsh.

fleegle2000 2014-12-23 01:25

I really like the concept. My only complaint is that it starts out too hard. I like a challenge but I need to be eased into it.

dylanwolf 2014-12-24 07:35

Nice retro audio and graphics style. Neat concept, and rather challenging.
