This was more difficult than I anticipated, in a good way.

It's good! Too hard though, it's a few too many buttons to remember at once. I'd consider starting off with some smaller waves and maybe having the player rotation happen automatically.

Thanks!
@dsmeathers You are definitely right about starting slower. Though I think the rotation should be part of the skill needed. It would probably work better with gamepad support using dual analogs but to make sure everyone could try it I've decided to stick to keyboard.

Oh darnit! I just noticed that the web version only stores local highscores :(
I now suggest the windows version for better performance.
Well then, feel free to post your best score here!

Cool game, well done. Pretty fun to play and intense music :) It would be fun to view the leaderboard but maybe you didn't have time to implement it?

At first it was kind of hard, but once you understand the objective, how to achieve it, and the controls pretty well, its a fun and fair challenge. I the tutorial in the beginning was very clear and well made. But maybe I would add that space = dodge/attack because you use it more to attack that dodge really. I didn't get very far but the enemies never really attacked, but the game was really fun! Great game!

Much more difficult than I thought it would be. I think it boiled down to clunky controls. That said, I think it was fun and with a little work would be very enjoyable more long term.

It takes a while to get a hang of, but it's really cool afterwards!

Fun game! It was a bit annoying the one time when enemies spawned right on top of me... Then again I was moving around during the count down.

Thanks everyone!!
I honestly didn't expect such positive comments.
I'm glad you liked it despite its flaws :)

Very good game, very good idea, not as easy as i thought. The only problem for me is the audio which just kill my ears

Nice Game, as fun as addicting, maybe with a bit more tweak with the controls would be better

Good game, original concept, pretty hard. Enemies AI is quiet strange sometimes

@f222 I know, sorry, it's my first time making "music"
@kosik1337 Yeah I wouldn't exactly call that an AI, it just follows the player turning very slowly (in order to be beatable) and sometimes it gets stuck trying to turn against walls. It can surely be improved.
