Core Influence

Player paddle points in the direction of the mouse pointer. Reflect those that do not match your core color, but those that match allow to hit your core.Collect white hexagons to add ability points. Use ability points to add a temporary rear paddle by pressing space bar or use to clear all incoming forces by pressing "B" key. No ability points? You can sacrifice life points to use an ability.

Thank you for playing!

This is my first, fully "complete" game. Done in just under 48 hours, over the last week (used my iphone to time myself, so I know how I will fair in Ludum Dare 32). Can't wait to do this again. It was a total blast!

I like title screen design and music: they are consistent

Nice design in line with the game concept.
Survived 115. Absolutely liked core game play.
The controls did not work that well for me - imho controlling the paddle by moving the mouse left or right would be more intuitive.

Kicked my ass, but a very fun game. I really enjoyed the central mechanic, it made for some fun and hectic reaction-based play when the colours started coming in thick and fast. Nice one!

Love this little game. Well designed and very good sound.
This one is a keeper.

Thanks for the comments! Really appreciate you all giving the game a play through and giving me some feedback. I am still working on the game and adding in new content. The artwork I feel needs some more polishing, too. Thanks again!

@florg - I'll give it a try and see how it feels with the controls that way.

Very cool music and a polish gameplay! I feels that the ball came sometime at the same time. :-)

Thanks! I need to fix the release timing for the balls. Does not feel right, yet. On the to-do list.

Great game! It's much fun to play and is very addictive. The look and feel seems very polished. Only the game screen is a bit large, I couldn't fit it on my screen.

Really addictive! Neat game, very colorful and well made. I included it in 6 of my Mini LD #58 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :)

Thanks loxo!

Thanks Jupiter!! I'll definitely check it out! :)

I'm still working on the game and plan to release it on Android, first (iPhone/iPad later). Already have it working on my Samsung Galaxy S5. Still tinkering with the game play, but the core play is still the same.
