The theme is very obvious on this one and game play is very present. Gets crazy pretty fast, like a bullet hell.

It felt more like I was just leveling up. Evolving implies multiple pathways. I did like how enemies became vulnerable to you as you got more advanced."},{"author_name":"VAMflax","author_uid":"14280","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:19pm","epoch":1346195640,"text":"Controls are a bit abrupt, but got the job done.

My main suggestion, besides the random-spawning issue some other people mentioned, is that I think the different colors should be much more identifiable so players could just focus on movement\/color-switching without having to try to figure out who's dangerous. Maybe that was only a problem for me though."},{"author_name":"hamster_mk_4","author_uid":"4265","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 6:14am","epoch":1346479740,"text":"The game was very easy to understand despite the minimal instructions.
