Initially frustrating because I couldn't get used to which key represented which shape, but after a little while I started to get into it.
Nice and simple, and fun to play. Good job! ^^

Graphics are pretty. Music really fits the graphics. I like the game play and you have to be fast choosing the right shape. DAMN survival is hard :) Great job, thanks.

pretty hard at start, but when you understand the buttons it's fun.
Also, i like the neon gaphics so... nice game!

38 :) Nice little game. It's hard to judge what to do when it gets really fast because missing loads can cost you so much, it's sometimes just better to kill yourself while you're ahead rather than risk losing all those points. Would be nice if there were a visual when you fire.

Not sure why the bullets were needed as catching shapes should be sufficient. I guess as a last resort. The mood set by the music is casual but it's actually a quite mentally taxing, fast-paced game. I like the idea though.

Pretty fun game once you get used to it, some visual representation of bullets/lasers would be nice though.

It followed the theme pretty well once I realized I could change my shape. Ran out of bullets really quick hehe

Was fun once I learned the order of the shapes. Might have been easier to learn if they were in order of number of sides: circle, triangle, square, pentagon.

@unit684 , @Studiosaurus . Adding a visual for the bullet was definitely in my plan . but i ran out of time working on other things :P

This is a cool idea, although the objective can be a bit overwhelming at first (you have to manage bullets, shift the shape, manage falling shapes; is can be a lot at once). The bgm is cool and chill. I just like to point out that maybe the sequence of shapes on the keys h,j,k,l may be improved to go from circle to pentagon to square and then to triangle.
