Evolve

At the time the game zooms in it's not possible for me to react before running into an enemy ba accident. I think the zoom should not be that high. Everything else looks fine. The menus look clean, the sound effects are fitting the game. The controls work nicely. Cool particle effects. I'd love to see more types of enemies, like a green one for example which could be just a bit slower than the blue enemies so they don't pack together. Or an enemy which is fast when moving in a straight line, but slow when turning with a big radius. There are lots of possibilities to expand the game.

Overall, what comes on top is the top notch presentation for the polished parts (which are many)...

---

The game start effect is awesome. The overarching glow effect of the characters with the outer circle was amazing as well. The particles are not the usual "starts big, gets small" and it was very cooler this way. - The death screen after a blue orb gets you is obviously not on par with the rest of the game, but it's a jam, I know. The player death explosion was not on par too. - Nonetheless, still a top notch amazing presentation. I really loved it and will keep it for reference, since I'm doing a neon shooter as well.

The game: Starts slowly, but has a nice balance on the subsequent levels. The movement is fluid and has great speed. I would like a faster pace. Very faster, to be honest, but that's me. - In the end, this is something I really would play. Reminds me of the super cool Ellipsis. Congrats a lot. http://store.steampowered.com/app/514620/Ellipsis/

Great looking game with a good core concept - really feel like the camera is main thing holding it back? As soon as you get out of the small circle, you can't really see anything going on (and when the enemies explode, the camera kind of pulls towards them). Liked the sound effects that were in the game a lot, a bit of music would go a long way I reckon.

Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous game, the core mechanics remind me of flOw. One thing that definitely needs to go is the typeface used for the score. The 1s look way too much like the 7s and it took me forever to figure out why the timer seemed to be broken. Also it would be nice for the camera to zoom out a bit each time the level gets bigger for more visibility, but other than that it's definitely on the right track. Good work!

I played this on Livestream Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-ZBj_dJa4

I enjoyed what I played, I will probably be revisiting this one in a bit of time as I've been thinking about it all day since I played.

Everything is nice but i would do the levels a bit shorter or maybe the movement faster.

Screen could be a little bigger and maybe less screenshaking. Otherwise really cool. A global highscore is something to consider aswell :)

The graphical theme is pleasing, and it is a cool game overall! I too would prefer faster movement, but it is still great!

The aesthetic of this game is well done and i had some fun!

A nice looking game and fairly well balanced also, which is cool. It felt like it needed some more progression after the 4th / 5th expansion but all in all a solid jam game :)

Graphics are minimalistic but effects, color palette and lighting are really cool. The "barrier" circle looks off with visible pixelation when compared to other smooth circles. Would like to maybe restart from last resize, since beginning seems very slow and throws me off the rhythm. Overall, fun and challenging.

Love the graphica mostly! Amazing how well polished it all looks

Very nice game ! Great artistic part, except the lack of music. Well done !

Fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcx-zIJDIVM
