Really unique gameplay combination. I definitely struggled trying to track everything at once but it probably would have been a bit better if I had a mouse instead of just the touch pad, so that is probably my fault. The art and sound fits well together too. Overall great idea!

This is an amazing concept! A bit difficult to play though (or i'm just too slow lol)
Hi!
It reminded me of the game Portal :). Interesting and good implementation. You need to move the portals quickly and preferably as far apart as possible so that you can escape.
It would be good to have some kind of simple menu with a description of the controls and maybe a short intro. It would also be nice to be able to turn the music on/off.
It was fun, congratulations!
The concept is reeeally cool! Brain twisting! You need to work on this and improve it. One of the most innovvative entries for me! Well done!
Really cool idea, but quite hard to play! Feels like a lot of things to keep track of at once, and I didn’t really notice a difference with some of the upgrades. Overall though nice job!
Neat challenging implementation of a unique idea! Graphics and audio enhance that space pixel game feel. I feel like the player would benefit starting with more shields (3?) or have better controls with more base movement speed.
The game mechanic is very interesting! I had to use both my left and right brain to play this.
The game features a unique blend of mechanics, making it quite original. It's nearly impossible to play with a touchpad, so I had to dust off my mouse.
Super awesome game, never seen the portals combined with spaceships before! excellent idea.
I found by far the best strategy was to stay in one spot and just focus on placing the teleporters, trying to do do both move and place portals made me keep dying, but even with this gameplay style it was still really fun.
Great entry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice entry! The learning curve is a tad high in this game, mostly because you have no idea what the new enemies are going to do and by the time they do it, it's usually too late. Still lots of fun to play though!
I really like the upgrade paths. Are the upgrades all time based? It was hard to tell for me.
Solid game! I enjoyed the gameplay and thought the mechanics were really cool. Nice work!
This was so much joy to play. The replay value is high when trying to figure out new ways to use the portals against the AI. Great choice in music and random power ups, really fun!
Very interesting gameplay i love the concept the audio is great.
very original but hard to get the hang of, the best kind of game! (although the hitboxes were a bit iffy sometimes)
