Nice idea, everything moves quite fast so it is difficult to get the hang of.

i like the game in concept but struggled with knowing exactly what to do, I agree with @wevel, everything seemed a bit to fast so i didn't have enough time to actually plan what i was doing i just pressed keys till i died.

Its a nice concept though ^^

Decent game, but you should probably use smooth movements instead of a discrete grid (or make the grid bigger). It was hard to tell how objects were moving, and mostly it just looked like they were randomly teleporting around.

The randomly re-spawning makes this less of a game and more of pure change - hold left arrow and hope for the best. Maybe a bigger play board and some very simple AI would have been more fun?

Cool idea, but it's hard to understand the movement of pts and enemies

Yeah sorry the fact that the enemies move around seemingly randomly meant that there wasn't much of a challenge there.

Well done for getting it finished and released though! I think the main improvement needed to take this to the next level would be adding some predictable movement to the enemies

Cool concept, could do with them not moving around as much so that you have a split second to go after a particular one, if that makes sense?

The game concept works, but I will echo other commenters in that the enemy movement made it impossible to really strategize. A good first attempt at the compo though, and I like the look of the board.

I liked the look and feel of the game. Very retro :D I even liked the speed it plays at. However the random movement can be a bit tedious at times. Adding an AI of some sort or even a pattern based movement for the enemy would have been sweet.

Good for a first time compo man!

Ehh. Things move fast enough that it may as well be completely randomized each tick.

Got 300 points :) Liked the game. Only thing I found confusing: Are the dots all moving randomly? Would be better if you could predict better where the dot's are going to.

Kind of a neat mood to the game, sort of vectory and minimalistic. I couldn't really figure out what I was meant to be doing though, since everything moves randomly and instantly its pretty hard to actually avoid stuff. Could be good with a bit more work though.

Wasnt sure what I was doing, but I got a high score! I Included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bpNoFf0QyBM

The concept was really cool but the game play seemed a bit random. I really wish I could have understood what was going on a little better so I could have moved with more purpose.

The inability to plan enemy movement ahead of time made it difficult/impossible to plan my own movement. This was kind of frustrating and hampered an otherwise nice idea,

Interesting concept, and smooth predictable movement of points will make it definitive better, so far I get 410 points =)
