I feel as if the lines should have been just a little bit longer, since there were too many situations where all three had 2 or less enemies, which effectively made me use all the ammo and lose. I think with a little balancing this could have been more fun, but even so, the concept is cool, reminds me of tetris (I don't know why) and the style + music are indeed relaxing (in contrast to gameplay). Cool game.

Hadn't really seen anything like this before but it was definitely poking the right parts of my brain. Relaxing music, tense gameplay, and a constant need to make what you HOPE is the right decision.  Simple and hard is absolutely how I'd describe this. Love it.

I'm glad you liked it :)

Game fits the theme, simple but difficult. There are times where you can get "screwed" out of lasers if they jump back and forth on placement too much. I did find that you could survive a bit longer if you shot the rows out of "order" by hitting one that has three farther back, but those only come up occasionally.

I like the concept, it was certainly neat.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

The game is so nice! I think that sometimes it is not possible to not lose the game, but then it is definitely a good game! Simple and calm with a good music! I would have preferred some sound effects for the shooting and for the game over in line with the calm background soundtrack!

Thanks for the advice! I can definitely see some of the things you're pointing out.

I played for a while, it's really fun, and looks and sounds good! Sometimes it's literally impossible to recover though, but I did manage to get to 13100 eventually

Developer

Thanks so much!

Had fun while playing this. Loved the art style and concept. Tho it is little bit rng based but coming up for ways to recover my ammo was fun.

Thanks a lot! I definitely get the RNG problem, it was difficult trying to manage how much the red squares would spawn.
