Made for Ludum Dare 32 with the theme: unconventional weapon.
A minimalistic arcade game to get the highest point total. You place your wire which is atached to your character and where you placed it. Using this wire you have to kill enemies and avoid friendlies, racking up as high a score as possible.
Note: If using the web player please play in fullscreen mode, there is currently a bug which cuts off the edges of the screen
Controls:
Move - WASD
Drop Wire - Left Click
Enemies:
Red - Normal Enemy
Green - Friendly (Do not kill)
Orange - Chaser
Yellow - Fast Chaser
*Game does not support Mac or Linux as I had no way of testing*
Reminds me of Michael Brough's Helix. Is there any reason to not just always plant your wire in the center of the screen? It might've been cooler if you had a finite amount of wire instead of being able to extend it all the way across the screen.
Interesting concept with the hard level, where colours are overlapping with enemies :) But you certainly need to add in-game instructions, left-click wasn't obvious!
I am glad you've put in the non-epilepsy mode. I just have a hard time figuring out why the screenblink mode is the default recommended way to play. Anyways, I enjoyed the gameplay very much. With a little bit of polish, I can see it being a success on the mobile platform as well. Kudos.

Great concept and I really enjoyed it, even if I wasn't terribly good at it.
