Broken.

Game just cuts away to a different scene the moment you click anything, and then nothing happens.

The game works for me on Safari. I find the controls a tad difficult but it's really fun to throw enemies around! Good job :D

Thanks very much for the feedback both good and bad! @jacketsj, @randomperson42, and anyone who has trouble running this - please could you post some more details about the issues that you found - in particular the browser/version.

It doesn't seem to play correctly. It cuts to a different area and I cant control anything. On Ubuntu 14.01 and on Firefox 37.0.1

Hope this helps!

Works fine in chrome, very cool concept but it is a hard game, the mechanics stuff are well implemented but the controls are not the easiest and can be improved. Congratulation, very funny game!

@nicklink483; thanks very much for the information - there was a problem with Firefox. Reproduced and fixed on Firefox 37.0.2 under Windows 7.

I like the game and the graphics a lot, At first a didn't understand how to play, so it would have been nice if you explained. Auto resetting the scene would have been nice too. Nice entry.

way too difficult. i like the random generation though.

ooh nice idea, it's challenging! Game could use more polish, maybe think about a post-compo version :)

Fun game with nice simplistic graphics, didn't understand what to do at first but figured it out pretty quickly.

Would be nice to auto reload scene

Great concept. I used to play Gravity Force a lot, and this is similar (including the instadeath), but the mechanic with the tractor beam is a nice addition. I was a bit disappointed though after I realized I couldn't kill the enemies by dragging them into the walls, and I never figured out how to kill them in a controlled fashion. Very nice concept though that would be good if you worked more on it.
