CONTROLS: Arrows - move around Z - shoot X - evade (dash) C - action ( press to spawn spikes, hold to spawn bombs, hold to grab core, hold to port forwarding)
Also there is Gamepad support (tested with XBOX360 GamePad) Left Stick - move around X - shoot A - evade (dash) Y - action
HOW TO PLAY There is CORE PORTAL with 8 PORTS (circles around it). There is TWO SIDES. And Portal provide swapping between them. HOLD SHOOT on core to do this.
AS SHORT, REMEMBER THIS: 1) You don't be damaged by enemy while you on RIGHT side. 2) You can't pick up upgrades and connect ports while you on WRONG side.
3) And you have two tasks:
PROTECT YOUR PORTS FROM ENEMIES ON WRONG SIDE
CLOSE ALL PORTS BY CONNECTING WITH OTHERS ON RIGTH SIDE.

First of all this game is very polished and has consistent art and sound. Your usage of the theme is good, and the constant choice of where to be is a nice gameplay mechanic. Reading the wall of text up here gave me no clue what to do, so I was relieved to see the in-game help and instructions are much clearer!
On the other hand, the game is a bit on the hard and complicated side even on the lower levels (although it might be due to the fact I suck)
I felt a little overwhelmed at first by the complexity of the instructions, but after I started playing, it was very easy to pick up. Solid entry! Good luck!
Sheesh, keeping track of the ports and the enemies is realy stressful, the gameplay is very cool, it requires so much concentration that everything else disappears while playing
Great job in such a short amount of time, it felt good to play. I do think that the game would have gained a lot from a different background colour other than black.
Your game is really polished and works pretty well for a jam game made in 48h. The controls are really pleasant and coherent to the gameplay. Your graphics are pretty and suit the atmosphere and sounds. I don't have much advice to tell : maybe there should have been more power ups in the right side, as I didn't feel the urge to go there while fighting the purple monsters. So well done, this is a great entry!
Omigosh, I haven't even started yet, but I really like the title music!

This is great!
The fact that you have to do the same thing 8 times is a little tiresome. It'd be good if there was either less ports or more variety the further you got in the game.
Really good fun, just wish the spikes and bombs where more useful. A longer countdown on the porting points would be nice too, most of the time i got to the point slightly to late and the darn thing disappeared.
Really awesome game, I wasted ... I mean ... I invested nearly an hour into this 'little' game. If the regular difficulty is already that hard, I don't want to know what awaits at annihilation difficulty. It was really great playing with a controller. The enemies often spawned and walked that fast, that I was already busy killing all those enemies and enemy ports, and never had time to visit the other side, let alone close those ports. Would have loved if the bombs and spikes were a more effective defense. And it would have been great to walk faster when connecting ports, because they nearly always disappeared before I got there.
Great graphics, audio, design and creativity! I like what you did with the theme and it feels very original and well put together. A great achievement for 48 hours, well done!

Woah.
Wish you could fire in all directions but... man I love it.
Took me some time to understand all controls but man... Keep being awesome!

Still, great job! Hope you do well!
