I think this is a pretty good game. It gets hard to dodge later in the game, but i think thats the point.

Love the concept! Fits with the theme in an interesting way, and was very fun to play

Pretty nice game, nice difficulty.

This is the first tds game, when I see side-to-side teleportation mechanic.
That idea is worthy to be popular mobile game :D
Think about it ;)

Both bloody and brilliant in terms of concept. And overall, really simple.

Nothing to complain about, and like Igoreshka, would make quite a nice mobile game.

Nice work!

Fun game, really like the graphics, the particle effects and screenshake. Music seems a little bit creepy for the game, but overall great job!

Fun, solid little game-play loop. Although the `looping` screen mechanic kept trowing me off my A game :P

Really fun idea excecuted very well. The screen loop mechanic added so much extra strategy!

Nice game. It is fun to play and made really good, considering that it was built in 14 hours.

But there's a bug - if you lose and then return to the menu and press the start button again, you start with the same size you reached before.

Except for that, great job!
