Pretty nice take on a classic game. Great job!

Great use of the theme in that it's the exact opposite of the theme using as many screens as possible! Good effort!

2014-12-08 04:02

That is a really nice idea! GREAT JOB!

At first I was like eh'
But then the drop hit and I GENUINELY DIDN'T EXPECT IT. Straight up blew my mind, that is genius.

Controls are a little sluggish, but the graphics are readable throughout and the idea is just mind crack for me, brilliant.

Its on one screen... but it's not! Got my attention instantly. Very fun!

Nice bait and switch! Had me fooled. The gameplay isn't very strong or interesting, but I really enjoyed the take on the theme.

That moment when you first get zoomed out... I was laughing hard enough I lost almost all the stages right away.
On the whole, well done.

Cool concept, insanely hard! Good job

the-jahn 2014-12-08 05:38

When the screen zoomed out, I WTF'd out loud in the best way possible. Good stuff! Though once you zoom out more than once it's damn near impossible to play. :p

Nice! Loved the feel, and laughed at the transition. Fun times.

Really nice take on the theme. I think if the gameplay was any more involved, it would have made it too difficult after the first stage. Solid entry.

foolmoron 2014-12-08 06:13

That first reveal is so good

stray 2014-12-08 06:19

It's good, really good

I laughed pretty hard when the game first zoomed out to show multiples screens. I don't know why, it guess it was exciting. Great Job!

Very nice! Good work!

Cool idea, simple but nice graphics! One thing though: the embedded iFrame with the web version on this page does not show the entire game screen (the iframe appears with a scrollbar - easy to solve by raising the height property). Congrats!

rzfmzn 2014-12-08 13:25

hard as hell! :P

zanenga 2014-12-08 13:32

Zoom out was awesome. Cool game!

jupitron 2014-12-08 13:42

Wow really nice experience! Too bad it doesnt have any sounds!

seledorn 2014-12-08 16:17

Was very surprised when I won on the first lvl. Fun take on a classic!

nofxboy1234 2014-12-08 19:36

Very cool.

superpokeunicorn 2014-12-08 22:23

Amazing take on the theme! At first I was thinking "aw man, it's just a space invaders clone," but then *pan out* XD

A bit short though. Could have done with one or two more zoom outs.

olive 2014-12-08 22:51

Totally surprising! Interesting challenge to fight on multiple screen at once! The sluggishness of the controls is challenging but in a sense adds authenticity the retro arcade style games. Nice work!

jfreax 2014-12-09 11:29

The zooming to more screens is excellent. I like the idea.

Its very hard. But I consider this as a good thing ;)

imaginarymonsters 2014-12-09 13:48

Very cool! This took an unexpected turn : ]

kraln 2014-12-09 14:04

Fractal! I love it!

hitchh1k3r 2014-12-10 03:24

Nice take on the theme, I also thought about interpreting it as an anti-theme. You did a good job putting the games gimick at just the right stop, not so soon as it wouldn't have suprised me, not so far that I might not have gotten to it. I did for some reason think it would keep going though and was sad when it stopped. Nice job on this one.

fergusontv_ld31 2014-12-10 13:58

Classic game but the multiple screen make it so fun... i was even disappointed it doesn't loop infinitly, adding more and more screens :D
Great job !

codecranker 2014-12-11 21:53

jeez, at first I didn't get it then at the next moment it clicked to me and I was like whoa!! Awesome!

thopis 2014-12-13 06:07

Love the idea!Bravo!

asobitech 2014-12-16 13:28

Great old skool feel to the game.

asobitech 2014-12-16 13:31

Great old skool feel to the game, with that li'l twist.
