Sweety geometric graphics and interesting enemy patterns!
Good entry!

Enjoyable, but didn't really see any reason to ever shift shapes, the triangle ship seemed sufficient for everything. Maybe force the player's hand every now and then? But nice :)

Nice, good old asteroids game in new form

Nice shmup, orienting the ship with the mouse can feel a little uneasy at times. The design of the enemies was clever although the triangle ship seemed like an optimal strategy.

Nice game! I like the core mechanics and the graphic style is quite unique. You could try some "neon" effect on that.

Cool Game!
Core mechanics work fine. When i died i tried again to reach a new wave. The cricle ship is really innovative but the Rectangle Ship seemed kinda useless and the Triangle ship could be a little slower in my opinion. Anyway it was fun to play.

It'd be nice to have some warning before enemies spawn in or have them always spawn offscreen. I notice that the combat is kind of bland. Go ahead and add some juice! Some explosions, particle effects, screenshake! Even very rudimentary sound effects will really add to this game!

I really liked the graphics.

The controls, not so much. I had to keep the mouse moving constantly, and it didn't feel natural, or like I had good control. Also switching between forms, I couldn't really tell what advantage it gave me, so it wasn't very useful. Something about the game should communicate instinctively to the player which shape they should be in to have the advantage at a given moment. I can see a lot of potential for a rock-paper-scissors mechanic here, which could be very cool.

A game like this really needs sound effects, but you know that. You should add some!

The controls were smooth enough. But the game lack atmosphere. Would have been interesting if you needed to actually change into that shape in order to a certain shape to destroy enemies of that shape. Circle and square seem a bit useless.

Really nice game. Thank you for including Linux version.
