Protect your warplink against attacks with your linked cannons. Pick up blue things to gain extra shields.

Engage warp anomalies that appear randomly to time warp into anomalous versions of past worlds, where you can replenish your shields.

The mouse controls the white cannon. Use W,S,A,D to move in the subgames.

Made using HMTL5/WebGL and jgame.js.

NOTE 1: There is a 60% chance that a warp anomaly appears, early in each level. Stay inside it for a couple of seconds to engage time warp.

NOTE 2: The game has sound. If you don't get sound, try another browser. There is no music, though there is an option to turn music off (sorry...).

NOTE 3: Your browser must support WebGL. Browsers that do are: IE11, and recent versions of Firefox and Chrome.

Very cool, but I want sounds. THX for this game ++

That is weird but I like it nice one

Brilliant.

Nothing is clear, but cool action! :)

I think the duration of a level and the time between two waves is a bit too long, so your left waiting between them.

looks real pretty :)

Thanks all for the early comments! I now submitted the final version. Comments above here, except for the one by Duncan, are from older versions.

This is great! I really want to play this on a touch screen.

Interesting control and game mechanics.
I like those weird anomaly gimmicks.

pjimmy25 Aug 2014, 13:16

trippy 8) but how do we enter the subgames?

bvanschootenauthor25 Aug 2014, 13:42

@pjimmy I added more instructions on how to enter the subgames.

Damn, idk why but when I try to play it, it says "WebGL is not supported". I think it's a problem with my browser. I'll try to fix that.

Also, about my game, if you had trouble controlling the worlds with the WASD keys, I think you might want to try the arrow keys. That way you can use the 1, 2, 3 keys with your other hand. Thanks! :D

Nice variety between levels. I didn't expect the ships to change in behavior.

Very colorful game. Could play this for hours! nicely done!

snooze8226 Aug 2014, 18:02

nice one :)

Well that was fantastic! So many colours, and the sounds are simple but effective, I could have played this for hours, but I only had 15 minutes left of my lunch!

garygreen27 Aug 2014, 22:37

Wow! What a great rainbow coloured shooter twist on the theme.

Aafter reading you comment on my entry, I was interested in seeing the alternative control method. The mouse definitely works for this style of game, with fast paced action, though I'm not sure if it would have fit as well with mine. That screenshot does not do the visuals justice - this is an awesome looking game in action, and a really unique mechanic for an arcade shooter. Excellent work!

Pretty awesome and enjoyable game. I had a lot of fun playing it. My only complaint is that I thought the particle effects made it a little too busy and difficult to see the elements that mattered. Perhaps with more time spent playing it would have become less of an issue. Either way, really great entry!
