Wow great game, the overall experience was great. The gameplay felt smooth and responsive the only thing I missed was the lack of graphics. This was of course due to the lack of time, anyhow a great game which left me feeling content xD.

A good game! But it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser.
Pretty fun, would reach a lot more people if you made it playable in browser :)
I made to the end and was thanked with green hearts :smile:
Liked: - Smooth controls - Good level design. Concepts were slowly introduced and I was able to progress without getting overwhelmed - Consistent in game behaviours (e.g., enemies moved at same speed, and always took 6 shots to kill). This made it possible to think critically about how to spend actions
Suggestions: - The bot doesn't teleport centered on the cursor (it is offset). I think being perfectly centered is better - The enemies try to tunnel through the walls (they get stuck and move very slowly). This makes them too easy to kill. I imagine you are aware of this bug
I wish there were more levels! Congrats on your first entry!
Wow, thanks a lot for the positive feedback guys!
@jofersgames @davidus - Unfortunately game maker cannot export to html, unless you buy a license, that sucks
@boxedmeatrevolution - I was aware of both these "bugs" but didn't have time to fix them xD, but thanks for pointing them out
@ruztan - I am always bad with graphics, so at least now i can blame it on the lack of time xD

Really nice job. I liked the principle and the music. Just some collision issues during teleportation to fix (and more level to add). You could use CONTROL button teleportation while its is accessible with the same hand than the one using the arrows. Thanks
@shubart thanks for your feedback! of course, the collision system isn't the greatest, i didn't really have the time to fix it. the E button is easy to press if you play with WASD, tbh i forgot about those who prefer arrow keys

while i own an AZERTY keyboard this is easier. I forgot to mention that i would have appreciated more levels :)
Fun game and a nice amount of content! Mechanics felt smooth and the game felt fair.

Even though the graphics of the game is very concise, I like it very much.Nice job! Teleport is interesting~
Well done! I really enjoyed the game. Teleporting was fun! And the programmer art was cool haha :thumbsup: While the game is simple, it felt pretty smooth and I was never confused by any of the mechanics. Keep it up and definitely enter the next LD!
@appix Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!
@skylark721 Of course I am going to enter the next LD, shame that I have to wait 6 months. Thanks!

Wow the Music is awesome! I thing i found a bug. if the hold "e" you were simple able to walk though walls e.g. bud the teleport did not cost any live.
@dezarius - I was aware of this bug, but was too tired to fix it. Now while I think about it, it would be every easy, but I just wasn't thinking at that point. And sorry to disappoint you, but the music is so good because it isn't my own xD. But thanks for feedback!

For a game made in a single evening, this is actually quite impressive! Had some problems teleporting into walls though, It would've been nice if you made the teleportation thing teleport to the middle of the cursor, in stead of the bottom left corner. Anyways, I quite enjoyed playing your game!
@rheel I would definitely change that, if I had some more time, thanks for the kind words!
This game is really good!
It doesn't look like on, becouse... hmm... programmer art, but gameplay is very nice and I enjoy every second of it!
I really like the game and enjoyed playing it! Good work!
It's not too shabby if we take into account that this is your first jam and you had little time for it. So good job, it is a fun little game.
I enjoyed the game but I think the teleport should be done on keypress The health cost seems to be done in steps rather than linearly so if you can kinda "drag yourself" by holding down teleport and moving the mouse
