Love the menu and the tutorial!

I really enjoyed this game. The graphics and music were great. I loved how the music sped up as the portal shrunk. I did find it a little easy though as whatever happened i could just put the portal back up to full health so ended up challenging myself by not doing that and seeing how long i could last. Also the music loop wasn't quite a full loop and there was a pause at the end before it started again. Otherwise a really good game!

The tutorial was a nice touch. I'm not are that I've come across a game with more than l line or two or just button presses.

I liked everything! However, for some reason, the tutorial didn't end, but I just have reloaded the browser.Nice work!

ok this was amazing!

It would be even more amazing if the lazer wasn't so DAMN strong xD

I thought the sound, story, and music were all well done. I really liked the sound effect when you push a guy into the portal.

I thought the tutorial was a bit misleading. On the one hand I liked that you had a tutorial option, but then the tutorial had a huge story in it, and you could lose the tutorial, which seemed strange. I would have liked the tutorial to teach me how to play the game (arrow keys to move the barrier, WASD to move around, which I eventually figured out) and instead have the story put into the main game.

Very fun, I really liked the tutorial, very well explained and humorous. the music and sounds are very good and the graphics go well, I liked it in general

It was hard to understand at first, because the bottom chair does not move the blocking wall and I was always aiming for it. But once I got the gist of it, it became really fun. I like the graphics and the music. Great entry!

There was a learning curve, but overall I enjoyed the game and really like the audio! Well done!

You owe me a keyboard, Hahaha, good job!

Well done! The game is simple and pretty fun! The graphics are great and the audio is very nice. Great job!

Nice! Creative use of the theme. The tutorial helped to explain it. It was confusing switching between wasd and the arrow keys. I like the music speeding up and slowing down, that worked pretty well to signpost the health.

A nice and funny game! Well done on adding a tutorial that explains every mechanic pretty well, it was very helpful. There are two things I'd change to make the game better.

First, the top and bottom chairs are too similar, they really need to be easily distinguishable on a first glance. During the tutorial, when it said I should go to the chair to control the laser wall, I first moved to the bottom one and I wondered why isn't it working. Perhaps replacing one of the chairs with something different (control cockpit?) would work well.

Second thing to change is the bottom chair - more often than not, it just gets in the way of me trying to move around quickly. I guess it could be moved farther from the portal to leave a passage through. That would make it much less frustrating.

Overall, I really liked your entry. Very nice game for such short compo time. I had fun playing it. ;)
