Bullet hell game.

Twist: You are locked to a sine wave that can be manipulated.

Can you kill everything and ShINE?

Great Idea! I think the audio isn't too great though. Maybe if you are going sine wave music make it dynamic?

Lots of fun. Typo on controls: "W/S" and "A/S"

This is an amazing entry! It's really innovative, awesome job!

Wow, that's an amazing idea. Trying to control it makes my head hurt in a good way :D

Fun concept! As someone else said, I almost expected the sound to adapt to the waves - that would've really taken the game to an entire new level! Still good fun game, the lose screen comment made me laugh HARD :D:D:D

I liked it, I thought it was a clever idea. I did run into this bug, though, when I tried to increase the amplitude and decrease the frequency a bit too much: http://puu.sh/dlFhA/407011470f.jpg

Oh god I really like the look of this but my java install doesn't like this jar at all. Is there a specific version of Java to use?

Opened it on Mac OS/X and the window flashed a few times then closed. I'll try again when I can get on my desktop.

Great idea! Tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying once you do.
talecrafter8 Dec 2014, 17:10
Good idea. A bit frustrating, perhaps, because of the automatic movement, even if you can change the course somewhat.

A really interesting take on the "tower defense" genre! I wonder if you are going to extend this and what are your ideas.

I also wondered about a link between actual music and the sinewave.

I have encountered the same bug listed by Kwask, but at this point I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. Probably you are not allowed to get out of the screen.

One minor thing: make fullscreen possible :) My resolution didn't make it easy for me to play it!

Good job!

Like it. Very addictive. Easy to pick up, nightmare to master (in a good way)

Very innovative! Never would have thought of something like that. Also, you get fives stars in humor for that cosine joke XD

My favorite game I've played so far! It's such an unusual method of control, yet it's actually quite intuitive and it makes you feel really clever when you hit something you were aiming at (or dodge an enemy's shot).

I like the idea. Controlling is hard as we can move the basic axis up and down which would have add a dimension. Maybe some dynamic music as mention before in the comments. Very innovative.

Wonderful gameplay concept, I must admit.
BarrensZeppelin11 Dec 2014, 00:02
I liked the idea and the game was fun, but it was really mind-bending control. :)

Pretty sure I've seen that explosion before though ;^)

That was okay! Couldn't beat the boss.

Sorry, I can't play or rate because I got an Invalid or corrupt file error, and don't really have the patience to try to fix it right now... Looks cool though!

amazing idea, love it!
cmcoto12 Dec 2014, 03:20
Loved your idea! Had trouble controlling it, but it was good play!

Interesting concept. I've not played something like this before.

I don't think you included the natives for Mac.

Great concept and really nice take on the theme. Good job!

Hey, I did a Sine wave based game myself for LD #26! (different gamplay) :)
