Cool idea, nice colors, very difficult.

Cool game you got there. I like the theme interpretation! The game was very hard for me to play. My best score was only 7.

Nice simple game with a really fun gameplay loop, pretty difficult but I got some lucky spwans and peaked at 13 enemies killed

The shift to attack the buttons was quite a clever idea. Great tutorial haha, if you can't dash into play you can't complain that you don't know how to play. I got like 14 enemies on my first try.

The music's a bit weird - I can't really tell what mood it's aiming for. Anyway, a unique take on the theme! My score was 11.

Most I could do is 20. Fun lil game! Very simple, but I feel like you focused your attention well, the controls and graphics/animation are very good, not so much the music but that's fine. I like the idea of the brain getting tighter while you're in a panic attack, that's a fun way to represent it. I don't really have much feedback besides maybe, that dashing in other directions, like up, down and diagonally, could be fun? Would be easier to catch the enemies in the ceiling too. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it, you did a good job!

I love how the game teaches you the movement mechanics on the menu screen. Absolutely brilliant.
What this game really needs is to display your current score and personal best somewhere on screen while playing the game. It would be nice to see how close I am to beating my record while the game is reaching the hectic panic of the walls closing in.
Great work!

What's your best score? :)
It sometimes felt a bit unclear what made the walls close in. If I missed a dash it sometimes made them move faster. I think it was an original game with some nice theme connection to it.
