Great game ! The glow effect is neat and the controls of the vehicle are really smooth !

Good job :)

Very fun game! I love the way the instructions are presented and that glow on the orbs and beams is delicious!

I like it. Once those pesky math errors are fixed should play a lot smoother. Would be nice to have some sort of score/highscore system so I could see if actually did better than my previous runs.

Interesting gameplay. I enjoy how you've taken a few different key mechanics and meshed them together in a psuedo-racing/shooter game.

I think I would have a appreciated a little more feedback as I was collecting the orbs since I wasn't always sure how much time I had left. Also the power bar wasn't always very visible when in full screen. It was in the corner of my eye, but since I was focusing on the orbs and the vehicle, I didn't always see that I was about to run out of energy.

However, the game does a good job of teaching you the necessary basics right at the beginning and the art makes and enjoyable world to play with. Thanks for making the game.

Great Tron-style artwork, very smooth controls. The aiming bugs made it kind of hard to play but it was quite fun none the less.

At first sight, I was a little afraid of difficulty, but while trying, and with a little practice, I manage to play without problem for a while. The arts are simple yet beautiful, it makes the mood even without sound, the gameplay is simple to understand, and I like the alternate between run/avoid dangers and fight/collect, the two modes are balanced right. Good job :)

Very nice graphics and take on the theme, I enjoyed it a lot. Also great job with the tutorial! The shooting was really frustrating with that bug and also it got me angry when I have stopped my car near the orb, wanted to syphon it but instead of syphon I hopped back in the car and left which lost me several games :D

And I missed the audio, it really breaks my feel from the game if it misses the audio even some basic one :(

Good game! Bugs happen to everybody so I totally understand, and the idea is really good. This red laser put the right pressure and the speed is well balanced =D

The idea is as simple as good. So as the graphics. I have test the HTML5 version and add no sound. Music and SFX would juice your game up;-)

Original idea! The driving was really smooth and the mechanics were pretty easy to understand, the shooting was a bit hard to get used to.

Hard game but fun!

This laser effect and the camera shake is really well done. The design of the characters are nice. Such a shame that the aiming is broken because this is a nice game with really good ideas. Nice job!

Cool idea. Gameplay was abit confusing at first, but I got it after a few tries. One issue I noticed was that I drove slightly past an energy ball and wanted to go back and collect it. I saw it completely on screen, but somehow couldn't get close enough to touch it. Maybe a better visual indicator for when you are close enough to an energy ball would help with this issue.

Otherwise, solid entry.

Graphics are nice and clearly present the information, and I quickly got the hang of what the orb recharging did. After that, it was also nice to think about when/how to exit the vehicle given the enemies and lasers. Nicely done!

domrein 2017-08-12 16:55

I like it. More color coding would be helpful. It's non intuitive that the blue bar hurt you for example. The bullets don't shoot to where I think they would based on my cursor either. Awesome work!

Great use of a simple effect! Some simple art and you have a game that actually has a start of polish.

I don't think I played it very well but did find it enjoyable and cool base to start with :)

Your game is excellent. I love the graphics, and my favorite part is the glow effect.

rootpew 2017-08-13 12:52

Great use of simple shapes alongside Unity's lighting engine to create a very polished look and feel for your entry.

It's a little difficult to get to grips with (yep, I died during the tutorial.. twice), but it's a great entry nonetheless.

Overall I think this game is pretty good. It suffers quite a bit from the aforementioned bugs, and I also got stuck between my vehicle and the wall practically every time I exited it, which was quite frustrating. Given that it has no visible entrances or exits, perhaps I should be able to exit on the other side when I'm too close to the wall?

Aside from that, it's somewhat difficult to tell exactly when I can absorb an orb, so perhaps an indicator of that would be a good addition.

The lasers look pretty awesome.
