Georena is a very simple game in which you have to survive as long as you can by destroying enemy shapes. You can only destroy enemies that match your current shape. Your lethal weapons (as well as your opponents') are your vertices.
Try the web version on fullscreen mode to compete for the highest score.
It's good! Too hard though, it's a few too many buttons to remember at once. I'd consider starting off with some smaller waves and maybe having the player rotation happen automatically.
Thanks! @dsmeathers You are definitely right about starting slower. Though I think the rotation should be part of the skill needed. It would probably work better with gamepad support using dual analogs but to make sure everyone could try it I've decided to stick to keyboard.
Oh darnit! I just noticed that the web version only stores local highscores :( I now suggest the windows version for better performance. Well then, feel free to post your best score here!
At first it was kind of hard, but once you understand the objective, how to achieve it, and the controls pretty well, its a fun and fair challenge. I the tutorial in the beginning was very clear and well made. But maybe I would add that space = dodge/attack because you use it more to attack that dodge really. I didn't get very far but the enemies never really attacked, but the game was really fun! Great game!
Much more difficult than I thought it would be. I think it boiled down to clunky controls. That said, I think it was fun and with a little work would be very enjoyable more long term.
@f222 I know, sorry, it's my first time making "music" @kosik1337 Yeah I wouldn't exactly call that an AI, it just follows the player turning very slowly (in order to be beatable) and sometimes it gets stuck trying to turn against walls. It can surely be improved.

I honestly didn't expect such positive comments.
I'm glad you liked it despite its flaws :)
