In what way does your game fit the theme?
The mechanic "the more edges together, the stronger the polygon", as well as the enemies because they work together to take you out.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all the code and made all the sprites, but used royalty free assets for the audio, sfx, etc.

Was a bit confused until the edges started coming in. It's a pretty unique idea to add new edges for more firepower. I wish the polygon would turn facing your cursor though.

Submitted

The graphics are amazing and I love the way the enemies and the player die. Keep up the good work!

I went in without reading the description, only the controls but when my triangle turned into a square, it all clicked and I was like "okay, give me more edges!" Great job!

Hi n.n 

I really liked the theme of your game.

In the beginning, I didn't really understand what was I supposed to do, because there wasn't really any instruction. But with a couple of attempts, I got it and was able to play a few rounds without any problem. 

Great job!

It was such a huge relief to finally pick another edge.  This is a pretty novel concept and fits the theme well.  Great job.  I know its part of the game, but it would be nice to have some assistance to aiming, like a line from each corner.  Overall great job.

The graphics are brilliant, gameplay is good as well, great game.

Really nice aesthetics - the neon, hand-drawn art is awesome!

Submitted

Really nice finish. Maybe allow the player to see a little more of the screen, so death is a little less sudden.

Submitted

The hand-drawn sprites look cool, and overall a fun game. I kind of like the fact that there are no checkpoints (very old-school), but also couldn't make it that far. Is there a way to get extra lives or health?

A really nice game. To be honest It took me more time that I'll admit to understand how to launch the game (I was clicking the bottom right button haha). It was really fun, feels a lot like a old school arcade game. The game itself is quite difficult since you're shooting from the tip of figure. So when you start to shot diagonaly it starts to get quite tricky.

 I was also quite surprised that I couldn't shoot the purple missiles, you can kill the purple enemy but you can't destroy their missiles. I wanted to be like super skilled and flex on them :(

Submitted

Nice audio and nice neon effect. The shooting seemed a little weird but fun during the early levels.

Fun and addicting game, the first levels became boring after some tries, but the mechanic its good, I like the aestethic too, simple but with personality. Congrats, great game.

that was fun! Cool idea and design. I would love to play more but when i reached level 5 and lost i had to start over again. it would be great if there was checkpoint system so i can restart in the lvl i lost.  Cool idea and execution Theory games, well done :)

Very cool game, I love the aesthetic, all of the graphics and animations are crisp and nice to look at, the enemy follow mechanics are smooth, and the way your shot origin points change forces you to change up your playstyle based on your shape, which is a cool way to keep a single level game engaging. The only criticisms I had were that wait time between enemy spawns sometimes felt a bit lengthy, and the fact that your shot could move through walls made it so once you were at 5+ sides, you almost stopped needing to aim and can just spam shots and kill everything even if you couldn't see them. In later waves I killed more enemies off screen than on, so in spite of enemy types having more attacks, they almost felt easier because of this, so either making your shots not pass through walls or not letting your shots travel more than a set distance from you would help maintain the difficulty.

NIce Game looks well polished art whise but the bullets behaviove strangely

Submitted

The art style is nice.

Submitted

I really like this game, it was an interesting concept. I like the artstyle, how the lines are constantly moving like someone is drawing them. One thing I would improve on is I would make it so that you could rotate the polygon with q and e but other than that the mechanics were awesome! I like how it got challenging and there were new types of enemies introduced when you got into further rounds. Thanks for showing up to the stream today!

Submitted

This game was really nice! The idea behind shapes and edges being strong together was quite an interesting take and the movement, art, and music was really nice. As someone stated in the comments, it would of been nice to actually have a direction for the triangles, but overall, nice game!

Submitted

Great soundtrack, good ideas. Also, a very good art style is noticeable. But would've preferred some sort of direct control in the shooting. Other than that the game is great!

Submitted

I like it! took me a while to notice there was upgrades because I went exploring the map but I like the art styl, congrats on the submission
