It's hard but great. The music and sounds are awesome. Really a great arcade game. Good job @enchaec ! It could be better if moving in diagonal was'nt so fast.

Very awsome game. Prob. A Top 10 entry this year (provided enough people play it)
Hey--either I turned totally stupid, or after my first time playing through a few levels, the portals on the first real level didn't come back--did you notice anything like this? Alternatively I'm just totally worn out and got lucky the first time through :)
Really awesome mood / graphics / gameplay, though!
@jdhollen I haven't come across an issue like that in my testing. But thanks for the report, I'll look into it!
Thanks for getting back--I played again based on that and it seems like I just have really bad luck sometimes, and sometimes that happens several rounds in a row--I've made it down to 475m at this point, though, so I guess that's something approaching competency :)
This is absolutely incredible. From the aesthetic, the music, and delivering on the theme. Great work!
Wow - hard but great! I appreciated the very short first level. I was a great example of "Show not tell" when it comes to learning how to play a game. Great aesthetic, music, concept - just really great!
Fantastic all round! I just dove in without reading instructions, and it was great when I ran out of ammo and had that realisation that I had to start conserving. Lots of quick dashes to the next ammo pack! The glitch effect on the walls as they close in is so good, and I love your sfx style.
Got stuck at 700M, love the mecanics and concept, and number/ascii-ish of the terrain! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really enjoyable. I love the aesthetic.
Really good entry, I had a lot of fun playing this. Using the start screen as a tutorial works really well. The game looks and sounds great. My only gripe was the randomness of the portals; most of my deaths were just running our of resources because I couldn't find the portals.
@kodiqi Yeah, certainly needed a bit more balancing. Thanks for playing!
A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
This is the type of game that makes LD so great. A fun, original and concise concept to play that would not have existed otherwise. When it's delivered with as much style as this it's just a very cool bonus. Loved the 'tutorial' screen too.
Really cool game, top notch pixel art, the concept is awesome and I am in love with reaparition effect of the wall!! One of my favourite game so far!
Wow! Absolutely excelent idea! The pixel-art work is on top, i really loved the 'glitch" aesthetic. The chill & relax music adds a lot to the global ambiance.
Some littles bugs to note (I was sometimes stuck in walls, and my shoots were ineffective) but nothing really serious for a gamejam.
Really good game, congrats !
Excellent game. Well done! Could easily turn this into the full experience.
I loved the artstyle, minimalist and effecient. It also creates mystery about the world, it's great! The ambient music is excellent, very Super Metroidy. It plays smoothly, but it unfortunately lacks level design. You just run aimlessly until you find the next door or until the game tells in a not very elegant way where to go.
Great entry to expand on! Great job!
I really like that effect where walls reform with ASCII characters. Always love to see stuff like that.
The music was some very nice ambient stuff with a great beat. Kinda like a more upbeat Metroid style thing.
Amazing game! I loved the effect of blocks regenerating, the controls were responsive and the sound design + music was on point. My favorite entry so far. Really solid entry. Great job!
This game is awesome. It feels really polished, the controls are very responsive and the art is on point. My favorite game so far, even though a little hard, good job!
Those ascii walls are amazing. Adds a lot of polish to the game. Too bad it's a Jam entry, so I can't look at your source code. :wink:
@maartene That is for the best, I assure you.
Love those wall effects. Enjoyable game with a great arcade-y feel. Am always impressed with your sound design!
Nice graphics, interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/F8Gtbi3loPc
