Yay! I broke it!

All I see is the upper left quadrant of the sphere, with the title cut off at the lower screen-border. Nothing is happening :(

Works on Kongregate, apparently.

Love the idea of collecting genes, nice work! Shooting is punch enough, but the view is a bit too close to the battlefield to my taste. Great piano-intro :)

Liked it, but there are three things I'd like to point out:

1. Title screen is a little confuse to me. I didn't know what to right away do to start the game, so I felt like it was bugged

2. If there are no enemies on the screen, I can't really feel at which speed I'm moving

3. The lack of information explaining which letter does what to my character.

I really liked the mechanics and gameplay though. The mood was kinda cool too! I liked the soundtrack too.

Good game! :)

It took me a while to know how to level up and even then I think it is too subtle, it could have a better feedback.
The art is good and well polish, nice job!

Pretty good. I don't quite understand what is the goal of the game.

I absolutely LOVE the plasma fire effect on the title screen planet. Really nice look and feel. Well done!

I really liked this, too bad there was such a epic title theme but no gameplay music. grabbing the letters and making them stronger by combining was very neat idea too.

My only complain is that the waves take quite a long time to appear, they should be faster.

I was really impressed with the graphics, and the intro was quite amazing. The sounds and the general atmosphere were also very captivating.

I found the game to be really hard, and although I love that in a game, I'd only suggest offering a way to quickly respawn, since there'll be a lot of deaths.

Nice entry!

Pô, podia ter dito tudo isso em português, mas ninguém ia entender :)
