Really nice concept. Good job :)

Developer

Thank you very much!

I get what you're trying to go for here.  Ultimately, I'm a little confused as to why pressing play will spawn you in one of 2 levels.  I also think that, when dead, instead of taking the player back to the main menu, you should instead let them restart the level immediately.

Developer

Thank you for the constructive advice! I'm glad you understand the basis of S&H and i totally agree with you on the respawn and level mechanics.

Cool game! Though I would have liked power-ups of some sort or maybe like a dash. Overall great job, keep improving :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the words of encouragement! I was planning to add power ups but tbh i kinda just kept putting it off. The dash never crossed my mind but is a really cool idea now that i think about it.

The game was really challenging for my slow reaction times mainly due to the one-hit kills. I do really appreciate the concept of avoiding rather than being on the offense. Great soundtrack and nice minimalist design in the game!

Thank you so much. The game was supposed to be very challenging, im happy it turned out to be as difficult as i wanted it to be :D
I can ask my brother to release the song to soundcloud so you can listen all you like!

so the instructions are kinda unclear, i got to the orange black hole and then some pink projectiles started shooting at me and i died...


it would be nice if there were instructions the next time :p

Developer

Is something supposed to happen when you get to the orange black hole?

Developer

did the boss not spawn?

Submitted

I was in the second level where the red triangles come from below (and not from left) and when I entered the area with the orange black hole there were couple red spheres coming my way but after that nothing. 

Developer

Ahh yes, im sorry for the confusion. I suppose you hid behind the black hole. Basically, if you were to go near where the purple spheres shot at you, you would find a large hexagon shooting circles. Your goal is to lead the hexagon into the black hole, and that was exactly what you did and the hexagon died, after defeating the boss, you're supposed to jump into a purple black hole and it'll lead you into  one of the two levels. Im very sorry for not including some sort of instucter or tutorial. Thank you for telling me!

Ah, could be. After dodging the spheres I just walked around the whole area unsure what to do.
