A bit confusing, but well polished.

karol8 Dec 2014, 04:54

The graphics are amazing. I didn't like waiting for the disk thing to rotate correctly though. It made gameplay slower than it needed to be.

JohnGalt8 Dec 2014, 04:54

Interesting mechanic!

BaneStar0078 Dec 2014, 04:55

Niiice, All items on one screen, Graphics look superb, took me a bit to figure out that the blue things created paths. Well done

Resonious8 Dec 2014, 04:55

I like the visual effect, and the platform thing

GhostBomb8 Dec 2014, 04:59

It took me a while to even comprehend what was happening. Even after playing it for a bit I still felt a little confused.

cxsquared8 Dec 2014, 05:08

Really awesome animations and graphics. Cool mechanic with the tile creation. I ran into a bug though where I could pick up a key on the second level. Really nice game though.

DrHahn8 Dec 2014, 05:14

I have to be honest I was super confused at first. The enemies were hard to dodge unless I was far away, and the key hitbox turned full solid after I collected. Otherwise some cool ideas in there.

Sublustrisauthor8 Dec 2014, 05:29

Next time i'll spend more time on bugTesting :)

Jaloko8 Dec 2014, 06:16

Loved the audio.

furriKira8 Dec 2014, 06:31

The graphics are great!
A bit confusing at first but it's challenging.
The way I like it.

andrewjoy8 Dec 2014, 08:09

Interesting mechanic and great visuals to support it. I found it a little difficult to use properly (the fixed cycle of rotations felt tedious to wait for), though I like where it is going.

zanenga8 Dec 2014, 14:22

I like it a lot! Honestly, I didn't know exactly what I was doing, but there was a lot of shooting and explosions and creation of platforms. Good times.

Andrew Adams8 Dec 2014, 16:06

Very nice graphics.

Sundry8 Dec 2014, 19:13

Really Cool, but so difficult. I wasn't able to go trough the second level...

JayProg8 Dec 2014, 19:23

Great polish and animation. The controls were solid too.

hypnoticbytes9 Dec 2014, 18:21

Love the graphics, it's a shame it has so many bugs. But nice entry!

nov1kk9 Dec 2014, 18:23

Very nice graphics and animations, game was lacking some kind of tutorial, it was really confusing.

Vinyl Pixels9 Dec 2014, 18:24

Rated high for Graphics and Mood. What are those spinny disks? What do they mark? Without any instructions the game is confusing :)

CustomPhase9 Dec 2014, 18:29

The artowrk here is great. Gameplay is frustratign though, almost impossible to finish, at least for me.

S0rax9 Dec 2014, 18:32

The graphism are pretty cool, the game mechanic is amazing. I like this compo !

Alexandre Szybiak10 Dec 2014, 19:20

Cool game, a bit confuse sometimes, enemy bullets are fast and unexpected. Love the visuals and concept. Thumbs up.

TheMeorch11 Dec 2014, 05:51

Really nice artwork. Once I figured out how to create paths, things got really interesting -- what a great mechanic!

Sublustrisauthor11 Dec 2014, 06:03

Yes :) restoring blocks to create new paths - it is a main feature of this game. But using of this technique so clear for me , that i've forgot to include it in tutorial :(

Alendro11 Dec 2014, 06:36

Cool game.

BitOfGold11 Dec 2014, 06:50

Nice pixel art and sound effects! Very high quality! I really like your style! Some tutorial about the mechanics would be good (Even if its just a few text bubbles). Some ambience, or background tune would add tothe mood! Congrats for this one!

maxyan11 Dec 2014, 07:02

Cool extraordinary mechanic. I wish the first level was simpler.

hundredhundred11 Dec 2014, 08:20

Interesting game mechanics :) I enjoyed this, on a side note, would be better if you could rotate faster overall nice entry!

Hellequin11 Dec 2014, 08:20

Awesome concept! Really nice graphics

kirbytails711 Dec 2014, 08:34

Very cool mechanic. One problem(?) seems to be the spawners moving a fixed number of spaces, which I think prevents them from reaching certain spaces.

Demy11 Dec 2014, 08:51

Very nice mechanics of the game. Cute graphics. Interesting combination of puzzle and arcade. Sounds slightly disturbing and (as for me) breake the atmosphere.
Rus: очень мило нарисовано, классная механика - и думать, как пройти, и отстреливаться нужно. Звук, правда, немного простоват и скорее отвлекает.

Sublustrisauthor11 Dec 2014, 09:37

i just hadn't enough time to make suitable sounds :(

Gins11 Dec 2014, 09:46

Very interesting mechanic. Graphics are really great, love that effect you used. Game overall is a bit confusing. Does anything happen after you collected enough keys?

Sublustrisauthor11 Dec 2014, 09:49

Next level of course:)

Instant Noodles11 Dec 2014, 10:01

Confusing at start and then pleasant game.

AncientAvocado11 Dec 2014, 12:56

Well polished, love the main mechanic. 5/5 on everything, you deserve it :)

rottenmage11 Dec 2014, 13:42

Cool, though it took me some time to understand what was going on. Nice art! Good job!

Kuupu11 Dec 2014, 14:58

LOL those explosions! =D

Really nice game, congratulations.

This "destroy and create" path really adds a lot to the gameplay

Trite Games12 Dec 2014, 00:32

Could be a cool game, just needs some more tweaking. The circling disk around her is confusing. Thought that's the shoot direction indicator. And don't seem to see the goal. collected keys, shot some monsters...but what was there was still fun :)

Shide12 Dec 2014, 17:44

Great graphics and quite addictive, but a bit repetitive. And I have no idea why the girl shoots projectiles from an orbiting sphere. Check out our game, we've finally updated the link

pjimmy13 Dec 2014, 17:05

visually stunning and puzzling game, well done

ChuiGum16 Dec 2014, 21:59

5 star innovation and theme, awesome job! A very cool original mechanic! Top 100 :)

dunin22 Dec 2014, 19:36

interessant concept, but hard to play in this version...

Knighty23 Dec 2014, 08:53

Fun game and nice graphics.
The enemies shots are a bit hard to dodge unless you're constantly moving, and I didn't like having to wait for the spinny disks to point in the right direction.

okkolobr24 Dec 2014, 09:27

Very interesting mechanics. Gorgeous sprites !

A few bug (walk sound is sometime played while I've stopped, I feel like I should be able to move after being hit and transparent), but didn't prevent the fun.

Well done !

GarethIW24 Dec 2014, 12:43

It clicked what I was doing on the second play, I enjoyed it after that. The disc mechanic works well.

Steven Colling24 Dec 2014, 15:24

It's somehow confusing, but I really love the art style of this. You should introduce something along a health bar, because these one-shot-kills are nasty ;D Very polished anyway!
