outstanding mechanism!

Simple but really fun!

It's a simple idea but with a lot of fun because of the good level design! I think if you can still somehow call back the white block to kill/block enemy bullet after it full disappeared (enemy shoot more bullet than you I guess), it can be more strategic. But this may be too much for this game😂. Anyway, good job!

@goldranger Yeas, that's a good idea!

Nice game but it quickly become very hard with the ennemies shooting.

Amazing mechanic, really liked it. Overall fun and interesting game!

Wow, this game is difficult! I really like the design!

Very novel and minimalistic presentation! Not a fan of the gridlike and precise movement required though, as its virtually impossible to kill enemies that are shooting at you.

@xwilarg @randomphantom I think I have made another "author knows how to play" mistake. If you move and shoot, your bullets will have a much higher density than the enemies', which make sure you will be the one standing.

@xwilarg @randomphantom I think I have made another "author knows how to play" mistake. If you move and shoot, your bullets will have a much higher density than the enemies', which make sure you will be the one standing. And some levels are puzzle instead of shooting game.

Simple but a good idea, wish the screen was bigger with more detail so I could see myself better and line up with the enemies!

ginger9 2018-08-14 15:47

And thanks all you guys for rating and comments :smile:

Really nice concept and and pretty good use of minimalist art (albeit the red squares are a bit hard to read with this background), I particularly enjoyed how you cleverly changed the rules about growing and shrinking mid game. The difficulty ramped up quite a bit after the third or fourth level but nothing unmanageable, the last levels were actually my favourites.

Congratulations on your entry !

really good use of the theme, didn't expect the mechanic to be flipped around like that. The enemy bullets shrinking / expanding the level, the white zone killing them too... you definitely found a lot of cool ways to re-use the mechanic. Good stuff!

Simple game, Good concept, but a little difficult for me.

ely-shaffir 2018-08-20 17:51

Really loved the idea, a bit hard but that's what games are all about!

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-20 17:54

Simple, but clever game! I liked it! Keep up the good work! :smiley:

An incredibly challenging, but certainly enjoyable game. Just to let you know, I couldn't rate graphics, humour or mood, however it does score well on the other categories.

Awesome idea! really liked how hard it can get. Might be worth adding some indicator of how many levels there are?
