TRANSMATTER WHIRLMPOLE VACUUMBUSTER by CogentInvalid
NOTE: If you have Love2D (www.love2d.org), you can run the game on Mac or Linux with the source file.
You are an explorer. With the aid of your handy TRANSMATTER WHIRLMPOLE VACUUMBUSTER, you explore new dimensions in search of hidden treasure to uncover and distant civilizations to conquer. But just after travelling through the last whirlmpole (which is kinda like a whirlpool, kinda like a wormhole, kinda like neither), you find yourself on a small patch of land in the middle of a sea of lava, accosted by numerous hellish beasts! Worse, your vacuumbuster is malfunctioning. You find yourself unable to create anything but a strong SUCKING or PUSHING force with the device. So, lacking anything else to use as a weapon, you must use your eponymous vacuumbuster to suck and/or push your enemies off the edge of the island.
Controls:

Hold Z to suck
Hold/release X to push

P.S. I'm awful at the game, i cant get past 30 points.
Awesome job!
My biggest difficulty was the enemies off-screen. I'm not sure if this a real issue, as it is pretty close to the view of geometry wars, and a lot of other similar games, but I think I would have had an easier time I could see all the enemies as once. Also, I would like to see a few more enemy types (as I like the game), but well, you did it in 48 hours, so it's understandable.
Other than that, the controls are great, the music is good, and I had a lot of fun.
