I tried to be minimalist in the development of the game, so this is as minimal as I could think of that wasn't Tic-Tac-Toe!

This is my first Ludum Dare entry and the first game I've built that isn't on a ZXSpectrum....

You are a proud Triangle, and now you must fight the oppressive forces of the Squares and the evil Circles!

Good Luck!

That was freaking cool man, felt very Star Wars dogfighty. Those circles love to clump together though.

I Love this game because it reminds me of my nerdy teacher's favorite movie

Really liked this one! Not so fond of spawning within enemies, and I wish they wouldn't fly through walls at me, but otherwise it's very fun! I think I had the entirety of the circle fighters trailing me at one point...

This has to be one of the most addictive entries for me, very nice.

Wow! This game is very cool! An old school shooter that gave me a lot of fun!!! Excelent work! The only thing that i can suggest is to change the color of the shots of the player's "ship", i think that in this way the game could appear less confusing.

On Windows, I kept having the game crash. One time, I had <200 circles and <50 squares remaining, and the game crashed without warning. As far as I could tell, this seemed to be when I went off the right/bototm boundaries.

Also, some sort of radar system would be great (or even just displaying x/y coordinates on screen), because when you get down to low numbers of enemies remaining, it's very hard to find anyone else. It's also hard to get back to a cluster of squares after you have to flee to fend off a circle swarm since there's no way to remember where they are unless they're by a piece of wall/land.

Otherwise, great game. I and have to ask, does anything worthwhile happen if you manage to kill everything? After that last crash, I don't have the patience to try again.

@SnoringFrog You get a "HOORAY! You Win! Screen" Thats about it tbh! I'm trying to reproduce the crash to see if I can see what's up. Agree on the Radar idea too :)
