I really enjoyed the premise, and the symmetry present, particularly making your enemies' weaknesses your own. I played for a while before destroying every enemy (close quarters explosion) except for one. I actually found that a rather poignant ending, given that I couldn't overload or absorb the enemy without succumbing to the opposite fate.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The instructions screen passed by very quickly, so my first few sessions were failures.

So here's my game:\r\n\r\nEquilibria:\r\n\r\nYou have to defeat all enemies by either overcharging them or completely absorbing their energy. The difficulty is, that you can die as well from these causes. So you have to maintain a balance between overcharging and absorbing, while trying not to let the enemies come to close.\r\n\r\nTips: Overcharged enemies sometimes multiply, better kill them quickly. But they also explode upon death and deal damage to all enemies in their surroundings. Absorbed enemies simply desintegrate... no danger here.\r\n\r\nControls: WASD for movememt, Left and right mouse buttons for shooting. LMB: red laser, transfers energy from yourself to the enemy. RMB: blue laser transfers energy from the enemy to yourself.\r\n\r\nHave fun and don't explode :)<\/p>","title":"Equilibria"}
