Tacky take on the theme, but a solid arcade game. Some screen shakes and particle effects (as well as music) could go a long way here!

Enjoyed playing this, it's just a simple fun kind of game.

Wouldn't a 5-dimensional square be a hypertesseract? (10 'sides' each side is a tesseract.) This was a simple, fun shooter. I didn't think that the harder difficulty was actually harder than normal because you got the 5-way shot right from the start, while in normal you had the single shot for the first half, making things harder.

Very fun, I might actually keep it around for boring lectures at university. I love the style too!

Quite a fun, basic game. Ran pretty good, only some weird graphics on the player. Well done!

Good game! However, when you restart the game, you keep your modifier. Made the game a whole lot easier for me

Bonus points in humor for title! Also, congrats, it looks like a fairly complete and nice entry. Could use some sound polish, but overall, it seems pretty good. I found normal to be quite difficult, but fair.

Simple. Fun. Feels surprisingly polished considering most of the graphics are just squares!

(very hard on a trackpad, though, but these kinds of games always are)

Simple game but well done. I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bMx3RCVCht0

It's a solid game, even if a bit bare bones.
