Love this game! =D

Love the TV effect, love how I can't stop, and I love and love how I'm stuck between avoiding certain objects that move and avoiding areas that kill me. Really awesome combo.

Super fun game. Nice work. =D

Interesting game. i liked how you did monitor imitation, but when i`m playing the game is lagging.

It's a simple game, but it kept me playing, trying to beat my time. Great soundtrack too!

After several goes I managed to last 102:54. :D

Nice one. Controlling player using mouse would be even better.

Fun to play, and it looks great with the monitor effect. Although I miss a cool power-down animation when you lose :P

Cool little game.

Btw. all your links point do the Linux version. I'm not sure if this is a subtle message. :D

Very fun! The screen tearing as a saving mechanic is nice. Good job signaling the danger zones.

Cute GFX and SFX - nice CRT screen too. Would have love to see high scores and increasing difficulty

Nice entry! A good time waster! Love how to game picks up after time passes. The audio didn't really capture my attention so I didn't rate that. Im glad I was made to download this cause I might come back to it since it's on my hard drive!

Nice! Simple but fun. Enjoyed the retro presentation. :)

Simple but fun game! I wish the "enemies" had some warning before they spawn, because running in a newly spawned one is unfair :D

Lots of interesting mechanics that result in an entertaining game. A couple of times the moving enemes did spawn almost right on top of me and killed me quickly, which is something that could be improved. The graphics are impressive and while the music took a little while to really get started it was nice once it did. On the whole, a fairly solid result :)

It is a neat idea, but I'd loved to play it realised more completely.
The screen 'effect' … Almost annoyed me, it was very fake :) I'm sure you could've made it bend at the edges and generally made it look more genuine.

This is very addicting! I got to 50 seconds, amazing work. Not sure if there is anything worth to improve. This is almost perfect!

Nice, very simple. Good graphics and very hard.
Sometimes the triangles spawn on top of me :/

Had a lot of fun with this one, and I really liked the presentation! I think it'd be nice if you could wrap from one side of the screen to the other when you get cornered.
