I did find it a little easy though as whatever happened i could just put the portal back up to full health so ended up challenging myself by not doing that and seeing how long i could last.
Also the music loop wasn't quite a full loop and there was a pause at the end before it started again.
Otherwise a really good game!
It would be even more amazing if the lazer wasn't so DAMN strong xD
I really liked the sound effect when you push a guy into the portal.
I thought the tutorial was a bit misleading. On the one hand I liked that you had a tutorial option, but then the tutorial had a huge story in it, and you could lose the tutorial, which seemed strange. I would have liked the tutorial to teach me how to play the game (arrow keys to move the barrier, WASD to move around, which I eventually figured out) and instead have the story put into the main game.
First, the top and bottom chairs are too similar, they really need to be easily distinguishable on a first glance. During the tutorial, when it said I should go to the chair to control the laser wall, I first moved to the bottom one and I wondered why isn't it working. Perhaps replacing one of the chairs with something different (control cockpit?) would work well.
Second thing to change is the bottom chair - more often than not, it just gets in the way of me trying to move around quickly. I guess it could be moved farther from the portal to leave a passage through. That would make it much less frustrating.
Overall, I really liked your entry. Very nice game for such short compo time. I had fun playing it. ;)
