Great entry! It's really fun and addicting, reminds me of Bubble Trouble :)
Looked at the post-compo, you're improving the graphics and effects, nice job, keep at it.

Awesome concept, very interesting take on the theme!!

I like the shape graphics and particle effects a lot, they're simple and effective. Well done!

Simple and really efficient :) Things are getting super hard really quickly: it would be great if the light could move faster! Something like a temporary speed boost or a dash maybe?

Very fun anyway :)

Very fun game! Colorful, satisfying, frantic, and clever. Forcing the player to stay close to the shapes, but not *too* close is a nice mechanic. My highest score was around 15k. Great work

Quite a challenging game, really like the idea. Clever use of theme as well. Would be nice if there was more music.

Nice gameplay, I just had some problems in the HTML5 version with the controls, because pressing up/down keys make the browser to scroll.

Nice concept. Could use better sounds and a better designed main character. I enjoyed playing :)

Sometimes, it seems better to wait a little to take more points quickly. But it soon became a minefield and you regret this mind, avoiding more and more shapes, exploding like fireworks until they get you, sooner or later, but usually sooner.
Yes, I liked very much this entry, why this question ?

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I like the games with simple and self-explanatory mechanics. Nice tweening and good overall feel. Very nice!

This is great -- the tension between keeping enemies close to you in order to attack them but not letting them hit you is ingenious. nice job!

Hey we started with the same idea and went completely different ways! I really like this. it feels really solid and plays well

This is a cool game and mechanic. At first I thought I would just avoid the large shapes so I didn't spawn the little guys, but the circle around you makes that impossible after awhile.

It's fun and gets surprisingly frantic really fast. I like the effects, too. My only issue is that I couldn't get Chrome to stop reading my inputs as scrolling, so whenever I moved about the field my browser would wig out and cut part of the screen. Tried clicking the game, but this time it didn't help.

The proximity killing was really cool! The screenshake and sound effects really added to the experience and make it feel good.

Great job!
