The orbital movement is great :)

Very psychedelic experience :) I like the visual style.

Fun game. I stayed in the middle by keeping RMB pressed and the cursor in the middle, shooting like wild. Seemed like a sound strategy... :)

Nice physics, art and music :).

Good game. Got 282 kills. Gets tricky if you're not paying attention to the attraction/repulsion timer. A series of auditory cues before flip would be nice!

Simple graphics and mechanics, but the result feels really good. The rewind surprised me in a good way the first time. It's maybe a little too easy to go off the screen (too much thrust?), and the projectiles could benefit from a little more clarity. A more significant problem is that there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to fly around, rather than sitting in the center, or in a close orbit, and just shooting a ton.

Still, I had a good bit of fun with it :)

Very atmospheric, great audio and music fits well. Nice take on the theme as well. I really like the psychedelic mode! It was very difficult to die though, I had to for the most part do it on purpose.

Great and unique concept! I love how the stray projectiles stay in orbit and continue to hit cubes. The 10 second inverse is very cool and helped make the game dynamic.
Do the power ups get higher than 3 projectiles? I couldn't survive long enough to get more..

Thanks for the plays and comments everyone - much appreciated :)

The power-ups don't give more than three shots but they keep making you shoot faster.

Nice game, good looking graphics but a bit confusing for me personally. I featured it in a compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjNz61S5Vg

Wow, that is such a cool concept, and implemented quite slickly too.

Very cool, had barely any idea what I was doing/supposed to do, but the game/ambiance was nice and enjoyable.

I love 2D space games in unity :) Really impressive mechanics (esp the gravity) for such a short amount of time. Congrats!
