Direction by hannardynamite
Based on the theme of 'You Only Get One', I came up with the idea of 'You only get one direction'. No, not the band.
You can only move in one direction. But be careful, there's nasty red projectiles out to get you!

also R should make the game restard immediatly not bring you back to the main menu.
great game
I'd suggest maybe having the player respawn at the bottom of the screen each time, rather than a random Y position (still keep the random X position).
Good choice of music too.
However, interesting execution of the one direction idea.
You should make sure people dont respawn on bullet. Death on the is game seems a bit unfair since you dont have time to avoid bullets even if you watch closely on the side walls. Things get worse if you respawn left or right because you have 0 second to react on incoming bullets.
The music is a bit repetitive and the mechanics hard to assimilate but innovating.
challenging game anyway !
Maybe if there were bars that moved left/right up/down on the edges of the screen to indicate your respawn position? That way, you could have an idea of where you would end up. That's what immediately comes ot my mind at least, not sure how well it would actually work.
