Controls are a bit clunky, and hard to work with. Though the simplistic design is cool!

The plan was to implement the classic mouse controls as well, but I ran out of time :( Certainly going to create post-ld version, and controls will be updated. Thanks for your feedback!

Hard to aim when aiming is tied to movement.
Also i went to portal but nothing happened ;/

Pew pew, die you...hero thingies! haha i am invincible!
*couple of seconds later* you died! "what!?"

I liked the gameplay on this one, enemies even pushed me inside the wall when I wasnt looking :D

The minimalistic art doesn't help you portray the theme unfortunately. Even though it's just the beginning, I'd like to see it more polished. Good job for a jam!

I think this would be a lot more fun if I had a mouse version, as you said. As it stands it's hard to experience it fully without getting frustrated by controls. I do like the simple aesthetic though.

No audio played on the web version for -- not sure if it's supposed to be there since I see the audio rating category.

One suggestion, you might want to make the enemy cubes flash when hit so you know you're damaging them. :) A retry button would also be nice. If there is one I didn't find it.

@grynca The enemies are trying to escape from the portal, you are trying to stop them escaping

nuiguy 2015-08-25 08:28

@AzureAspect You died because one of the enemies managed to escape through the portal :(

@Caspila I definitely agree, there just wasn't time :( As timezones would have it, I get the theme Saturday, 1pm, and Jam finished Tuesday 1pm, but because ludumdare.com is blocked at school and I don't have much time in the morning, I had to upload Monday night :(

@GAFBLizzard Forgot to remove audio category D: I do agree with both of your suggestions, I certainly do want to continue this game post LD, so keep and eye on the gamejolt page :)

Game keeps on killing me for no reason. 10/10

I like the top down visual. But its a bit hard to aim! Hard work on the models!

Nice try for a game, but still needs a lot of polishing. Nice work with the lights.

Very cool looking, an interesting take on the theme.

Great job! It was fun learning the behaviors and priorities of the AI. The minimalist aesthetic was pretty. Great job!
