Wow, what a really great little "protect the middle" game! Simple but very satisfying gameplay.

Love the art design glitchy effects, and the music mixes really well with the blocking sound effects. The way the attackers come out in the sweeping patterns makes it very satisfying to block. A mobile version with touch support could do pretty well I think!

Simple but satisfying sums it up. I enjoyed how it snowballed and you had to really fight to recover after a certain amount of damage. Lovely.

amazing realisation and game mechanic. easy too understand and good use of the theme
Nice idea the breach in the heart and the Granular/procedural fit perfectly
I admit i have the dream to use a similar c++ code for my own project ;)
i finish with a score of 7426 with lvl6
Best entry for me

Neat. I liked the way what you did affected the sounds. Pretty fun to play.

However, those intense, contrasting colors caused me a lot of eyestrain, so I had to put it down sooner than I might have otherwise. I liked the graphics style, ignoring the colors, though.

The core concept and gameplay are solid and enjoyable. On the whole, this is a very good entry. I agree that it would make a decent mobile game. :)

Thanks for sharing it!

I love it!! It is an addictive type game and the music changing as you receive damage is just the icing on the top. The raw sine/saw wave music and effects were great and the game-play was simple but elegant at the same time. I would love to see some color changing or some different type enemies, but not having those takes nothing from the game as it stands now, just awesome!

This is an example why Game Jams are great.

ocarson 2016-04-19 13:56

Man this game is cool as hell, I love the corruption happening and it influencing things like the screen shake and audio. The minimalist design felt at times like an inverse tempest. The audio was also built in to the design of the game.
Probably my fav LD game so far.

david-cookie 2016-04-19 14:06

What a piece of art! The concept is simple but it's so coherent, so well polished. The visuals and audio are very original and merge perfectly. Just.. huge respect for you!

Can't get past 4200pts, sadly :(

psychomonster 2016-04-19 14:32

Very unique style! I love this. It is simple and fun to play. The right game for some breaks at work!

tdelarosa723 2016-04-19 14:48

Very nice!

bigmangames 2016-04-19 14:59

Love the cool art and gross subtext.

paulopn 2016-04-19 15:00

Really great game! Simple, but extremely well crafted!
I particularly liked the distortion on the music as you gradually lose. I managed to get to level 5

seizethedia 2016-04-19 15:00

That is so good! Awesome job. Love the concept, love the art, great choice of music. It's really hard! I would love to see exactly where is the shape I'm affecting, maybe some type of cursor? Really good work 5 stars all around.

sparewizard 2016-04-19 15:02

I liked how the noise from deflecting guys lined up well with the the music.

samlo 2016-04-19 15:05

This made me extremely uncomfortable. Very satisfying to play though! The positioning of the impurities is just a little ambiguous, which I really like. Awesome style too

khaos_fang 2016-04-19 15:06

Really impressive! The art style and the mechanic are unique

teamkuru 2016-04-19 16:49

Cool! I loved the ambiance and the concept of the game! The challenge is also interesting, even if it's often hard to figure out if you're gonna catch a bullet or not.

goutye 2016-04-19 17:26

4706 so far. Nice take on the sound with the damage you take! Good use of the theme by the way!

kappaix 2016-04-19 20:22

Really liked the coherency of the art, the sounds and the music. The distortion in the sound really gives a sense of desperation when you are defending. Also - Lv 8 - yeah!

Well done!

ratking 2016-04-19 20:46

I really liked this one, as such concise games with unique visuals and audio are a pretty much the best jam games!

drusilla 2016-04-19 20:52

I absolutely love this

spiffl 2016-04-19 21:18

WOW. This is probably the best jam game I've seen yet! The mechanics are fun and easy to understand, but those GRAPHICS AND MUSIC are INCREDIBLE. I looooooooooove the aesthetic and how things change as you get injured. In this game, injury isn't just a health meter going down, but it actually matters in a way that makes you almost wince and say "ouch" whenever you take damage. Very, very well done :)

roland-m 2016-04-20 00:00

Well executed, just a great game!!

jofra 2016-04-20 00:02

Really cool concept! the audio was a bit hard to me tho :S

celia14 2016-04-20 00:38

Great implementation of a fun game - the aesthetics of the art and audio work together perfectly.

hankenstien 2016-04-20 03:18

Really cool concept. I like how the sound gets messed up the move damage you take.

ottersden 2016-04-20 06:17

Awesome visuals and sounds. It feels very unique.

local-minimum 2016-04-20 13:28

I love this. Simple and interesting game. Nice pacing of difficulty. Love the graphics and how the audio is integrated with the game. I usually pride myself with trying to come up with some constructive ideas about the game, but don't have much more to say than add some global high scores and ship the game.

jeasonfire 2016-04-20 14:25

​It's simple, intuitive and fun. Also a bit hard after level 3. I love the music, and the sounds are fitting and satisfying. (Though I could see them become annoying after playing for a very long time.)

I like it lots! :)

pixelpotions 2016-04-20 14:39

Really unique entry!
Everything seems to fit togheter perfectly, even when everything is so simple, it's so beautiful!
The sound thing, the crazy art style! Great one!

sharrackor 2016-04-20 16:22

Fun game really enjoyed its mechanics and its simplicity, however the colours are kind of awful

nvrskipgameday 2016-04-21 00:00

Unique look and gameplay. This is definitely a cool game, really well done.

saiodin 2016-04-21 20:11

It's funny that you told me I went overboard with glow in my game, when you have such an "agressive" look ;). Simple idea, but pretty cool and exciting. I had fun.

trasevol_dog 2016-04-22 08:52

Very cool arcadey game!! Love the style, the graphics and the audio fit greatly with the gameplay!
The best I could do was 6986. It was lovely.

togimaro 2016-04-23 13:34

Fantastic look! I love the design and the gameplay!
It's difficult to recover in high levels and this imposes to be very precise it's really cool
Great job!

franklins-ghost 2016-04-23 13:45

Such a simple but extremely well done game, impressed at how satisfying it feels to play. Everything just works so well with the graphics and music complimenting each other and the gameplay really placing pressure on the player to keep up. Definitely a favourite so far.

gord10 2016-04-26 15:38

I liked it. Though, not fan of the high saturated colors.

davor10105 2016-05-02 18:38

great game man, i really enjoyed that, great mechanics, music and sound effect, the only bad thing is that im shit at the game, my highscore is 3098 xD

jupiter_hadley 2016-05-06 22:29

Nice graphics, well made game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/bGsPoPIYpCs

chaserbrown 2016-05-07 17:55

This was really, really nice! The graphics were, although... strange... really fitting and unique! The gameplay was simple yet fun! Good job!

hazzahazzam 2016-05-08 02:25

Got 4701 when I quit. The glitch graphics and audio are fantastic!
