Avoid and Un-Avoid by Andrew
An abstract bullet-hell game.
I've been informed the in-game instructions are too cryptic what with the abundance of "un-"s.
What you do is you move along the circle with the arrow keys. Hitting htem both teleports you to the other side of the circle.
Once in a while (visual and audio cues provided) your dot will turn purple and your energy bar will decrease. Here is where you're in "eat mode" rather than "avoid" mode. You WANT to get hit by things. They heal up your energy bar. Normally 3 hits and you're out, this lets you top-off back to full.
On all levels other than "Insane" the central generator will cycle through the available patterns one at a time, then will start adding more and more randomly.
That is all.
Good luck and please post scores in the comments :)

Current build is web html5 unity.
Some issues may exist with Chrome refusing to play the game, if that happens Firefox works fine.
More builds pending porting,

-. The yellow and orange emitters are somewhat annoying, why are they on my orbit?
Good game overall.
Very nicely done :)
Few notes:
* it's hard to hit things when purple - nearly impossible to restore
* some background music would be good, even auto-generated music is better than nothing
* it would be awesome if red points would change their color to green when they're ok to hit and back to red when they're dangerous - it would be much more intuitive
Could've used some music or ambience though, and the graphics were kinda meh. But other than that I liked it.
Well done!
