This "dodge the enemy" game has a minimalistic game mechanic and a graphical style comprised of simple shapes.

Move your ship with W, A, S, and D keys or the arrow keys.

Press M if you want to turn off the music.

Not bad. Good pump up music for sure, liked the spaceship graphics.

Smooth and intuitive. Not too much to do once you got the hang of it, but fun controls.

Interesting take on the theme. The graphics and music were great. I liked how the controls were a bit "sluggish" and the ship has a bit of momentum.

Great Job!

I found the different scroll rates a little bit dizzying.

like the game -- great graphics -- it would have been cool if you added some power ups or bonus stuff in the game

The ship controls made the weaving around enemies quite fun. Good job.

I enjoyed the game, it was fun, had great music (not a fan of the SFX, but they weren't too obtrusive), and the BG colors didn't clash with the FG colors, which was good, because that made it easy to spot the ships. I do wish the entry was a bit more creative though, because this entry is unfortunately a bit plain...

More than 1 health is something I regret not adding to my own game. Good job!

Not much to it really. The movement feels good, and I qutie liked the music.

This is my requisite mention that, as a red/green colorblind person, telling the ships apart is really hard.

Awesome aesthetic (probably don't know how to spell that :b), very appropriate music and the difficulty progression is really good too. Nice job :D

Cool! I actually made a game very, very similar in design. Nice work.

The slight momentum to the ship movement was a good touch.

Unable to play the game, unfortunately (no windows), but I enjoyed the timelapse!

Nice entry, fast and fun. The controls are spot on and the action keeps you on your toes. The music is pretty cool, too. Heck, being an LD entry with music is pretty cool!)

I felt the design was more simple than minimalist, though, and the action became routine as I "seated" myself on the edge on the screen and just moved up and down - in fact, you could have distilled the concept even more and have disposed of the left and right controls altogether.

As an example of what I mean, my entry is very similar in spirit to your game. In it, you also dodge killer geometrical figures (what's wrong with all those triangles and squares?? So much rage! XD). But I just use one button to control the action.

Best score: 150950

Keep it up! :)

Thanks for the great comments and feedback, everyone!

Good news, @Royal Railway: I've just released a Web version.

Neat graphics and smooth gameplay. But monotonous. After a while, destroying ships was more fun than avoiding them.

I was half waiting for a second level, but quickly realized it would never come. I like the ship's momentum.

Like the loose controls. The background and foreground kinda competed for my eyeballs :\
onzephyr10 May 2013, 05:13
Nice music. Ran well in chrome. The momentum on the ship played out well and added to the challenge.

The drifty controls (which I enjoyed) and the spaceship-like shapes would have lent itself to a space theme. Scrolling stars, or a planet surface instead of moving buildings. Very simple game, but was enjoyable.

Good job on the controls. It wouldn't have been as much fun without the drifting. The graphics were nice too.
