I never could get enough points to reincarnate but it wasn't bad. Would have been worlds better with some sound. Graphics look good, Kenney is great. Maybe some more time in development and it'd be more playable but right now I don't think it spawns enemies often enough to experience whole game and based on what I saw I think I'd have to kill myself in order to reincarnate. Nice idea though

Nice entry. I like the core mechanics. Some tutorial or info screen on the beginning would have been great, so the player knows exactly what he is doing. Overall: well executed! :)

Good idea but for me it was so difficult to survive so far. Anyway had a nice time trying this :D

I like how you get minus karma by attacking the circles that are just hanging around! and how the the enemies bully them around...

I think the core game play: ex combat and how the enemies spawn needs to be tighter, Im not really sure how.

I appreciate the xbox controller support, some things I noticed,

I would hit right all the time, I think its because of the dead zone on the controller. and hit left with pointing right with the right analog stick.

And I have pause on the right trigger. I think that's because of how the 360 controller is mapped differently on platforms, I'm on windows. you can fix it by checking what platform the players on and then change the buttons.

Cool idea about changing form by reincarnating :)

Nice graphics but the game is frustrating, a longer range would have been nice :)
Nice polish though
