My Ludum Dare 30 entry!

Story

It is the far future. You work for a company specialising in creating virtual reality worlds and your coworker messes up a simple world merge, creating a glitched mess of three mixed worlds at the same time. The only way to fix the worlds is to enter the glitch and destroy all of its sources.

Controls:

WASD- movement
Left mouse button - Anti-Glitch Field
Right mouse button - Deflection Beam
M - Toggle Music
F - Toggle Fullscreen

Guide:

Destroy all glitch sources! Enemies can be launched with the deflection beam. Launched enemies can destroy glitch or can explode on a wall creating glitch projectiles which hurt you! The anti-glitch field destroys glitch tiles and sources; slows enemies and projectiles down.

Note: When the glitch covers a large area, there are many bright flashing colors, so if anyone is affected by bright flashing lights, be careful!

Its progression on difficulty is too fast but the idea and gameplay are nice.

I like the gameplay mechanics a alot. It's better than most dual stick shooters out there.

Very, very nice. I haven't played a game quite like this before. There were lots of nice personal touches around the levels. Great sound track as well.

Im lovin' it! Felt like in the glitch jam for a moment :)
I really enjoy playing it and the mood is exelent, but it's barely touching the theme.
Anyway, A+!

Text was really difficult to read, also death felt very sudden.

Hi there, nice game! this is really well executed! Movement feels kind of fast and i had some problems steering my hero precisely. Other than that a great game with some really nice music and interesting graphics.

Wow is this really a game made in 48h o_O ? That's the most impressive game i've seen on this jam, congratulations!

The graphics are very good, the music too and the game is so fun to play. I think you could really make a real game out of it. Also it's very challenging but not frustrating. The only bad point is thtat the game seriously starts to lag after level 3-4, but hey, that's a jam after all.

Sorry, couldn't finish it. My eyes are tired and getting instantly killed by a dying enemy's bullet-wave due to the lack of any invulnerability after getting hit really got to me so I just alt-f4:d at some point.

The graphics certainly fit the setting, but I just can't look at them for an extended period of time without feeling dizzy. The gameplay is also interesting but, because there is no invulnerability, annoying at times.

@Moosefly Dang, I totally forgot about that :0! Yeah, the gameplay would be much less frustrating with some invun time. Thanks :P
