I have no Windows computer and the game doesn't run with Wine

Game wouldn't run on Windows 8.1 :(

Tried to run the exe in Windows 8.1 64 bits but nothing happens x.x. Quick play didn't work either >.<

Pretty nice mechanics, challenging gameplay, solid little game :)

After many failed attempts scored 7000 points) Controls are fun when you get used to them. Disliked the music and often hangs on game over (hence, no fast restart).

Nice concept! Really interesting. Controls were very tough, but once I started to get the hang of it, it was a good deal of fun.

Does not even start on Windows 7, no error message...

could not get it to run

Really cool idea and mechanics. It crashed when I went back to Firefox to reread the instructions ~_~ but was fine when I restarted it.

Interesting gameplay. Maybe you should add more ways to win points. Because rushing into the ennemies is a bit weird. You could turn the gravitational energy into ammo for plasma guns or stuff like that.

So I think there's a lack of something to make it perfect.
Anyway, it's great, the graphics are more than correct, and the souns are quite enjoyable.

Good job.

Good arcade feeling.

This was really a lot of fun for a 48 hour game! The controls were hard to get a handle on, but one I did I was able to get a high score of 53000!

The song was good, but it was a shame about the looping.

Fun game, interesting concept!

I can't run that game on Windows 10 :( It looks amazing, but I can't play it..

I like the concept but found navigating a bit awkward. Zooming out at faster speeds might have made it easier to deal with. Anyways, you should keep working on this - good work!
