IMPORTANT NOTE: Enemies of a certain element are weak to the opposite (fire enemy is weak to ice). This isn't stated in-game, so I decided to put it here.
This is a shooter where you only get one powerup, and start off with no ammo. Instead, you have to absorb enemy bullets, and fire it back at them.
Absorbing right type of bullet really cool idea, but hampered by the fact it takes so long to switch absorption modes. Also, it is super hard to absorb one type amongst all the firing that is going on, but anyways, I really liked the idea!
Really, really hard game. I had difficulty with shooting and once started to shoot all the ammo was wasted fast without significant visible damage to the enemy. I ended up chasing only one color because it was difficult for me to digest all the elements on screen and switch my color at the same time, but this is a meter of skill thought. Also there ware moving stars in the background that additionally distracted me. The game needs balancing a bit in order to become more appealing.
A very complex game for a 48 hour game jam, with multiple different types of AI, artwork for different spaceships, particle-effect physics, and even a perk system. Very well done!
Very original idea, but it suffers from uncomfortable controls and slow shield change vs too many enemies at times. Surely it could become more even with adding some audio.
Love the graphics and movement in the game :) Innovative game mechanic too. However... changing colour was too slow rendering it almost useless as a power up. I found myself sticking with one colour and dodging everything else.
Functionally a good top down shmup, however the sheer amount of bullets and modes that you could switch between makes the game to unwieldy to really have fun with.
This is a VERY difficult game. Ikaruga had a similar concept, but that game used two bullet types for a reason - any more and you lose track. I had trouble even shooting (all the bullets seemed to shoot out at once and do no damage) and seemed to absorb a lot of stuff I didn't want to either. GOod effort, though.
As others have said, it's a really good and interesting idea - it could just use with a little balancing. Shield swap speed, number of enemies, and perhaps some extended controls? Constraining to left/right made it pretty tough.
Bukt and tommakesgames: I tried it, and it works fine for me. I'm not sure what the problem you are experiencing is. Perhaps MediaFire was temporarily busy/down?

Though I'm a shooter noobie, so I didn't get very far.
