Blue lasers defeat blue enemies. Red lasers defeat red enemies. Cross your streams to defeat purple enemies. Use your lasers to revive each other. The shield on your back can defend you from dangerous lasers. However, firing your laser will sacrifice your shield's size!

The game seemed interesting but it picked up my HOTAS and wouldn't rebind. Definitely add multiple forms of input even if joysticks are detected so it's playable via keyboard or mouse.
I enjoyed what I played of the game (I played solo for refrence). I am a real sucker for games with lazers and beam crossing it honestly is one of my favorite mechanics to see in anything ever.
Played this a with my brother a bit ago. I had to go fetch him after a round of single player, haha. That I thought to bring him over to play with me should speak to the success of this game. Much better with the second player, haha. Music is good, art is good, controls are intuitive and responsive. The game mechanics are quite interesting. Trading defense for offense is a pretty satisfying mechanic, and coordinating shots with another person to take down purple enemies adds some satisfying depth to the gameplay. Spinning lasers are a bit brutal, but I think they add a good amount of chaos to the game. The revive mechanic is also a good addition for co-op play.
Bottom line: We had fun with it, so mission accomplished on making a fun game. Good job!
Tried a solo run as well, because the game looked really interesting. I can agree with previous comments, bypassing the spinning lasers alone is hard. There is a huge sense of accomplishment once you do it though.
Felt very polished with the tutorial and the overall feel of the game. Had lots of fun popping the angry blobs.
The game idea is really cool, I love the crossing lasers feature, really interesting. The sacrifice theme seems to be a minor part of the game (but that's fine). Graphics and sounds are also great. Congrats! :D
I'll third the folks that said awesome tutorial. I loved the design, and the fact that we always had about three different things we wanted to do with our lasers. Incredible coherence of design: you really got a TON of cool stuff out of that one mechanic.
I really enjoyed playing this, but as soon as it got to the spinning lasers it got much more difficult for me, maybe there could be some obstacle that is harder to pass than the vertical lasers but easier than the spinning lasers? It would also be cool if it was generated, rather than the same level over and over again.
PS: Rate other games to get ratings. Your game nice it would be a shame to get only 1 rating ;)
