Pretty hard, but really fun. I love that graphics style. Lasers aren't very unconventional, though :P

Great idea! Was a bit challening early on though (maybe I'm no good) Wished for a bit faster movement and 'jetpack' speed. Great music and sfx.
solid. very well made. theme vague?
Great concept, and pretty fun too! I like the vector-y visual style.
Very enjoyable game - I was terrible at it though!
Why is it soo damn hard! Makes me wish I had better aim lolz. Its like a cross of a shooter with snake.
Definitely fun :)
Jeah the use of the theme is pretty nonexistent. At first I wanted to make a game about a viking shouting down spikes from a cave ceiling to crush enemies but decided the ricocheting laser shots would be more fun to code and play.
Wow really well done game here.
I love the idea of the bouncing shots. Not only does it make me want to fire less because I can create my own bullet hell, it also makes me want to aim better which isn't easy, but still tight controls. The first enemy on the second level killed me like right away however, and that is kinda frustrating. I think you should teach your player more, but a really fun game, that I might come back to play later. :)
This was really solidly made, the bouncing lasers is a good touch, not 100% unconvential weapon wise but the Light-cycle style approach to them made it very fun and tricky indeed. Presentation is very damn good as well, enjoyed it a heck of a lot, thanks! :D
Absolutely fantastic! Great game mechanic and very wel designed levels. Hats off to you Birke. The only down side maybe is that the shooting sound gets annoyig after a while.
I like it. I can't get past cave 2, those little red thingies are a pain in my rear.
The Web/HTML5 thing crashes for me (Firefox/MacOS). I've been seeing a lot of complaints about Unity HTML5 builds not working on MacOS, but that Firefox fixes it (but it never does for me). Just FYI.
It's hard, but it's original. There are some interesting concepts.
hard but fun
Difficult, but I love the style and procedural generation. As others have said having the ability to dodge easier would be cool.
Great game! I made to 4 cave but its very hard. I love the mechanics, good job!
A good proposal mechanics. I liked the permanence of the attacks.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Jeah the player movement needs to be tighter and not so physics based as it is now. The number of enemies is also quite random from playthrough to playthrough so that's another thing I'll look into fixing at a later point. I am thinking there should also be more of an incentive to shot enemies yourself instead of just dodging them.
With the key thingies and open spaces it works much much better. It's quite solid gameplay and while playing I can see myself getting better and trying different strategies. Which is really good.
I'm using a strategy in which I shoot in bursts, then wait and hope for them to clean the level while hiding. Then I go out and finish whatever is there while avoiding groups of lasers instead of individual chaotic lasers. In the process I get better quickly at moving around loads of lasers. I see this strategy as the 'Unconventional' side of the weapon.
This game is proof that sometimes less is more. Good game!
Hard but.. really fun!
Interesting game! I got fun to play it! Thanks for it
What a great concept. I love the way it forces you to trade off skill in shooting with skill in manoeuvring. Perhaps it doesn't play to the theme as well as it could have, but it's an excellent game nonetheless!
Fun! Really hard, but super enjoyable.
I really enjoyed this game! I liked the fact that it punishes you for missing since you don't want any extra bullets in the level. Awesome work :)
Solid feel, addictive gameplay, nice level generation. Had me hooked for a while there!
Nice gameplay even if it gets a bit too hard when a turret is here. Great graphics.
Pretty solid entry. The priority on accuracy was really cool. Gets pretty hectic towards the end with a lot more enemies. The number of enemies that appeared seemed a bit random, though. I guess it's supposed to feel like a rogue-like.
very clever. it was difficult but really fun to play. it wa a struggle to get past 2 caves
fun little game.
Dunno if this is intentional or not, but the name instantly reminded me of Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball. Name association aside, you've created a unique arcade game here and it's really fun.
One of my favorites for this Ludum Dare session. This game is really addictive. I can't stop it. First time when I have seen your project, it appeared to me too basic with an poor aesthetic, but in fact, it's very clean. I love the concept. Thumbs up ++
Tons of fun, and I like the asthetic a lot.
Having your projectiles stay on the map the entire time is really cool, missing a shot is a bigger deal with lasting consequences, since they become a hazard you have to deal with.
Movement feels good, having a jetpack with little particles lets you have a low-effort movement system that makes sense contextually.
Graphics are simple but work well to serve the concept since you can easily identify everything on screen.
Music is a bit repetitive but it seems you felt the same given the description :P
Very nifty little game! I could see this turning into a brilliant multiplayer deathmatch-em-up if you were inclined to keep making it.
