i like the simplicity of the idea and how as a player you can still feel fear and haste just as looking at circles! my best score was 47, i don't know if it's good or not, my strategy was to go for the upgrade circles unless regular circles were moving too close to me but it may not be the best haha

finally the ratings are active, so you'll be the first game i rate this LD!

suprisingly a fun to play game, and having those upgrades to chase felt fun. i keep getting in the 70's when i play. i think if you could move around it would add another dynamic to the game.

This a very simple concept executed well. Very straightforward scaling that makes it a lot of fun to keep playing. Having the audio cues indicate the health was a very clever decision, as well. Great job!

simple but effective game, managed to get 49 and was pretty fun for a few attempts. Good job :D

Got 1612! Such a fun and simple game. The sound effects were pretty good and satisfying. It got so difficult in the midgame, until i reached a breaking points wwith the upgrades. Super fun!

I liked this a lot. It has a super retro arcade feel. Simple gameplay that quickly get challenging. Great minimalist audio that communicates a lot of information very simply. Awesome work!

Really solid game, it's a simple game that's a lot of fun especially to try and get better after each life

Really, really slick little game. I got to 1667 kills, at which point I was basically just a little catherine wheel spewing bullets!

There was this really nice point around half way through where it was just frantic enough you couldn't just shoot the next thing, but also your bullets didn't instapop bubbles - it felt like I had to pay attention to where bubbles were going to spawn and make sure I kept that area clear. I reckon if you were to dig into that feeling, you could make something really special with this.

And the sounds were deeply satisfying

Well it started really slow, then it got interesting and really fun, then it turned into something else... I killed so many circles the reality itself started to shake, clusters of galaxies started to form, my ship was shaking at the center, images and colors started for form and then... No sound, nothing, just peace. 5/5

I like the simplicity of the game and it fits in theme. It's very fun. Good job!

Fun little minigame with great juice and feel, upgrades felt a bit weak and it would have been nice to have some classics like multishot or some other kinda powerups or abilities to keep it a bit fresh but overall it's a great solid little game that nails exactly what it was going for. Great job!

To be honst, the first minute I thought the game would be kind of slow, but after getting the first upgrades it started to get really funny! I do like the simplicity of the game and the simple gameloop, which still was super fun!

Good game!

1763! Excellent use of the theme with the engaging gameplay loop. The RNG sometimes hated me, but such is life, the RNG gods are fickle. I had a few runs where I got very limited power ups.

This was a fun game. I especially liked how the circles "clung" to each other as they moved.
