Dang, this is hard. Would probably be really good on mobile or something I think.

I would suggest add a mode or button that could make the game start with hard mode.

That's some hardcore stuff! I like it. I mean, I really like it. Also the music is pretty awesome. Great job! :)

A hard game .. Nicely done .. But what i didn't understand is why you used the word PHASE instead of just a normal word 'COLOR' :)

A hard game .. Nicely done but could've done something to make it different (next time).. But what i didn't understand is why you used the word PHASE instead of just a normal word 'COLOR' :) ..

Very fun game. Kinda hard but addicting.

This is a pretty cool game,
The controls don't always respond so well as required for this type of game (reaction-heavy) but I did have fun playing it. I think it does trigger a very strong desire to beat it with a high score, which is good!

Definitely has that "just one more go" thing.

I've never been very good at bullet hell shooter's, but I do like this one!

This simple yet challenging and really enjoyable game. Good work.

Also, the music fits perfectly the gameplay.

Pretty enjoyable! It was a little difficult for me to tell what color bullet the cannon was going to fire, but you did a great job!

Very playable, great simple gameplay but by no means simple is boring there! Really cool!

I really like it! I kept wanting to play again. My highscore is 9...

Pffft, that should have been WAVELENGTH Shifter, not PHASE Shifter. ^^"

It's quite a neat little game and a solid entry overall. Not something I'd play over and over again (I'm more a fan of story-driven games), but still pretty good.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I'm now thinking about making a bigger and better post-compo version of this!
@Sunflower: You're not wrong :D

This game is so nice! I love the music and the colour-shifting. I want to play this again.

Really fun! Good work!

Great work! Some feedback: some visual feedback would be nice for when you pick up a phased object. This is just me, but perhaps a slightly more generous hitbox for picking things up ;)

Very nice idea, graphic and music, but why the music reset every time you die D:??
