I love it! Movement is interesting, music is good, graphics are pleasant, it's good all round.

A nice take on the theme, I like how you could control the movement using just a single button.

miznoruri 2015-12-14 10:25

Very interesting! The control is great, I love it!

Very nice games. Controls are bit hard for me, but they work. It is fun.

Nice game, good concept

Congrats on designing controls. Although movement is controlled only with one key, you managed to achieve this flow of fast-paced gameplay. I'm really impressed.

Really enjoyed it, the control took a bit of getting used to, but liked it once I got going!

Nice! controls / movement very interesting!

Great controlls! nice game!

It is hard to get the hang of, but the one button movement controls are very interesting. All around an awesome game.

Wow that movement control while simple really changes things up! You are always traveling in an arc so intercepts become challenging. The effect for the dash is very cool as well and fits with the aesthetic you've gone for. The music reminds me of the early 1990s DOS games and is very fitting.

A very nice game. It took a little while to get the hang of it, but mastery is a great feeling, so that's ok :) Good music and smooth graphics makes the whole experience very pleasant.

I got a highscore of 180 seconds, not too shabby I think?

Things get interesting once you reach 250 to 300 seconds. >:)

Top marks for Fun and Audio! superb effort.

Nice look and feel. Controls took some getting used to, but it kept me playing. Nice job

blackbulletiv 2015-12-15 00:26

Interesting concept with a good increase in difficulty. The controls did feel difficult to adjust to, though I recognise there's not much you can do though with full 2D steering and only two buttons.

josefnpat 2015-12-15 02:34

Nice job! Clean use of controls, but it would have been nice if it had been eased in more. Nice polish!

fluidvolt 2015-12-15 03:37

I like the minimal look. And the game really gets going once you learn the dash command. Then your space-roomba starts zippin' and dealing out the hurt. Neato!

keyboardmonkey 2015-12-15 05:53

Very good use of two-buttons! the double-tap mechanic is such a simple yet ingenious thing. I enjoy that line-art too, can't go wrong with neon!

Once I got used to the movement this game is quite fun. Also I really like the symbols used the enemies. They do a good job of explaining what the enemies do, but are stylized nicely to look interesting. The only criticism I had was that it was very difficult to dodge enemy fire when attacking as your range is very small and maneuvering is slow.

My best time just under 2 minutes.

misteak 2015-12-16 13:00

I'm a complete disaster at steering, but I had fun hitting those enemies :)

karai17 2015-12-16 22:06

Interesting concept! I liked it.

Great job! the game feels very complete and polished for a compo entry. Although minimalistic the graphics are nice and coherent.

Great job!

Challenging, smooth game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/i8PM6O3S2Ao

Nice entry. A bit of a learning curve but was finally able to get to 83 seconds. I don't have the patience to come anywhere close to 545. I think the "attack" needed to feel more like an attack than a shield. Overall, was fun. Great job.
