I love how quickly the game goes from calm to entirely out of hand, it's a very great use of the theme! I was only able to get around 200 points on my best run, but I had a lot of fun with this. I think the music was a good fit too, though it could benefit from having a melody.\n\nI love the tiny details, like the eyes on the shapes blinking!

Fun to play. The only think which I think could be better was the beam control. The beam sometimes jumps from one side to another because of the free mouse move. You could have hid the mouse pointer and just control the beam based on mouse rotation or something like that.

Loved the animation with the little sparkles when they break down (\uff89>\u03c9<)\uff89\uff61*\uff65\uff9f\u2019\u2605\nIt gets surprisingly hard early on and keeps on being fun - simple idea with nice payoff. The only small annoyance with it I have is the player behaviour when being hit. It can often throw you right into large groups without a real chance of breaking out again, which results in a loop of getting hit over and over. Sparkles ~\u2605\n\nMusic is very groovy, I dont agree that it needs a melody to be effective.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":730856,"author_name":"Gorypixels","author_uid":"gorypixels","epoch":1633456945,"text":"Absolutely in love with the Pikuniku styled graphics! very cool concept also, with a little polish to the controls could be an awesome game.

Such pretty art. Audio was rockin too - was there something dynamic going on? Couldn't tell what but felt like something more complex than just looping a track was going on, which was nice. Gameplay was chaotic, and I think the enemies decaying into smaller and faster pieces really nailed the theme if instability in an unexpected way!\n\nOverall I had a lot of fun! Played 5 times! I was a little confused as to why I was able to turn off the beam. There didn't seem any benefits unless I missed something, for example I didn't move faster or anything. Was there a meta-strategy to that ability that I missed out on, and if so I wish there was something guiding me to how I would use it.\n\nI also wish the green particle decayed into like half as many pieces - my best runs were always when I just stuck to the green beam once I had gotten far enough, so I think reducing how many particles green breaks down into would have extended the period where I'm actively trying to change my beam color.\n\nGreat work team!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":737087,"author_name":"yumao","author_uid":"yumao","epoch":1633502506,"text":"Such a juicy game!

I love the sound design, the graphics, the font choice - it's all super duper cute. The way things spiral out of control quickly really sells your take on the theme.
