It creates interesting dynamic - on the one hand I need to kill monsters to keep the game beatable on the other hand I need them to seal the portals. I would add different AIs to each enemy class - now they all tend to create a dense flock that is practically invincible... Fun game nonetheless!"},{"author_name":"xandy","author_uid":"15304","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1461187800,"text":"absorbing the bullets\/enemies is very uncommon but a neat change of mechanics, maybe better explain that part of the mechanics. besides that the game was very fun and especially with 3 portals open challenging and fun"},{"author_name":"bazkur98","author_uid":"63572","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 10:20pm","epoch":1461190500,"text":"Neat concept!

We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ?

Clever, and very unique. For added difficulty (I never died and stopped because of repetition), you could make it where if you flying to a wall,floor\/ceiling, you'd get hurt too. Also, it would have been nice to have a bar or something indicating the life of the portals. But those are merely suggestions. I'm impressed, this must have taken a lot of work! Nice job! :)"},{"author_name":"djfariel","author_uid":"52022","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 11:04pm","epoch":1461279540,"text":"One of the better entries I've played.

The bars below the player health fill up as you collect enemy projectiles, and disappear when you close each portal.

It was fun, though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The visuals were pretty nice.
