Cool take on the theme & nice concept! I had fun :D I like the gradual increase in difficulty and that you could shoot multiple objects at once. Maybe adding an option to shoot with mouse click/another key instead would be good, but other than that, excellent work!

Submitted

Good Game. A bit odd controls but didn't have much effect as the game progressed. In these kinds of games where we need to shoot stuff, a mouse or joystick support is better as it helps in aiming.

DEFINITELY fits the theme! Good game! Please check out my game!

Jam Judge

Nice style and use of the theme. As the objects spawn more and more it's satisfying to delete a lot in a sweep. The controls are a little unusual (I think a lot of people would assume space to shoot) but I don't think that this even needs a shoot button since you can hold it down and it deletes objects when overlapping. Great work!

Like the way you used the theme. Just a thought, it would be cool if there were a way to speed up aimin. Overall gameplay was good, great job ^-^

I like the idea and the use of the Jam theme. The only thing i would change is that you can push the control key endlessly and move the camera around the screen and it will destroy anything that passes through, so I think a cooldown type mechanic will fit nicely. Nice game overall.

Great use of the Jam themes. Also anything with lots of stuff on screen at once is always cool :) I got a little bit of tetris vibes with falling stuff that keeps getting faster. Feels like you can do some more interesting things with the concept if you wanna keep working on it. Also agree with some of the other comments that if you can get mouse aiming that would make the aiming feel even better. Also props for keeping it running smooth with a ton of objects on!

Nice game i like it.

Cool game. It would be great if you could speed it up a bit so the aiming and shooting which was fun are a bit faster! Keep up the great work!

Submitted

The game is good but in my opinion it would make it faster and use the mouse for the aim.

Submitted

I like the concept, But I'd appreciate a litte more speed and definitly the use of the mouse for aiming and shooting, and also things that happen is a consequence if too many shapes settle down. But nice work! :)

Really nice little gem. I finished it first try!

I'm not sure why but I found it frustrating that I did not fire unless the crosshair was on an object. The objects look really nice and high quality. I got the most enjoyment by letting the items pile up then going crazy.

Simple and nice game, only complaint is that the controls activate certain keyboard shortcuts.

But still, good job!

Submitted

Cool little game with fun shapes!

Well done, I wasn't able to beat it, but got pretty far!  I liked the music and sound effects you decided to use.  I am using a trackpad - so was able to use the arrows and just hold down the trackpad to shoot.  I like how you had a nice chime sound happen when the level switched, but I didn't notice why that chime was happening at first.  It might be nice to make it more obvious that the player has levelled up - to give a sense of reward that they're making progress.  I also wish it was more obvious if this game has an ending or if the point is to try to get the highest score.  From my 2nd last play, I think I saw that I was almost at the last level - but wasn't able to get to that point again and just gave up.  However, if I knew for sure there's potential to "beat" the game I'd be more likely to keep playing - to get that sense of reward from completing it.

The concept is good, but I would have preferred different controls! for example using your mouse to aim and shoot with left click as LCTRL + WASD activates some of my keyboard shortcuts. Good job nonetheless, this was cool!

Minimalism - Basic shapes,  simple colors, empty room ✔

Alone - No other characters, 'enemies' are inanimate ✔

Everything is dangerous - All objects in the game cause you to lose eventually ✔

You are the enemy - Maybe? Meaningless destruction of innocent geometry?
