As previous guy said, turn down the room lights... Looks great, nice 'space background'. Geometry very interesting deformation. Shame no sound, but I get that you're not rating for that...

I love the Lobachevskii space, and a space shooter was pretty much the optimal thing you could have put in it. Both the Path and Lens were super helpful, and the timing at which you introduced things, and the gradual progression from simple to complicated tasks was perfect.

For some reason I was expecting that it will come out on the other side.

I wanted to make adventure\/rpg in big world but on one screen with lens effect. Fortunately I'm mathematician) So i looked for some beautiful map from space to screen.\r\n\r\nOriginally spaceship was just test for geometry-engine. But 50% of LD-time I spent for geometry calculations. It was really hard and i'm lucky. So I decided: no adventure\/rpg) Then I generated big space image for lens and wrote lens-algorythm. Then I made tutorial for this space and basic gameplay. I haven't time for music, sounds, level-design, deep gameplay etc. But this is really model of Lobachevskii 2d-space. And I proudly presents Lobachevskii-game for you) And I hope you enjoy it.","title":"Lobachevskii"}
