I didn't really understand what was going on, or what I meant to do, but it was an ok game.

I really like the gameplay, like a battle arena. The sprites are quite small and makes it hard to hit the enemies. Overall I like it.

Cute little game, shame there's no sound though...

yokcos700 2014-12-08 23:33

The graphics and sound obviously are a problem, but other than that, once you get a bit of practice, the game's really rather fun.

The changing background fading from green to red is pretty neat. I kind of wish there was more of that going on.

Funny to see enemies accidentally killing each other, and funnier still to get killed by running into my own bullet.

It's hard to avoid enemies since they're wired to chase you down but meh.

There should be an incrementing timer to see how long you survive and use that for a high score system. That would be neat.

Quite difficult to play. I can see that I'm moving around the pink triangles with the keyboard. Am I creating bullets and also avoiding them?

eckcz: Your own bullets can kill you and enemy bullets can kill them. There's no difference between the two so why colour them differently?

I fixed sound. If anyone reads this but has already played the game, might I suggest adding a rating to the "audio" catagory

Fairly fun use of the play area. The enemy color blends into the pink a bit too much. The spawn needs more warning, perhaps an animation so you can move out. Also maybe your bullets and theirs could be different?

Nice graphics and sfx for the survival play area change.

The sounds are great. Maybe add a highscore and just one or two upgrades and the game is finished ;)

Nice work! Fun bullet dodge game!

I killed myself by shooting and moving diagonally in the same direction.

Like the idea of shifting safe zones, and it could be improved by simply having more pattern types.

The enemies are a bit too small for me and didn't understand the zone idea took well... I did figure after the third try that the enemies were too smart and trying to dodge was a waste, so after the third try I just went shooting maddly in circles!

nice, I didn't quite like the color scheme, but it's a cool retro style shooter

sorlok 2014-12-14 03:20

I liked it! Very solid controls, although the white-on-green text was a bit hard to read. Like how the enemies' shots could kill their friends, as it was the only way for you to attack. You could definitely do some cool story-telling with this game!

Fun
