HOW TO PLAY:
Change shape with Q and E.
You regain energy while playing as the square and triangle.
Use the different shapes to defeat the endless hordes of enemies.
THE SQUARE:
WASD - Shoot bullets to propel yourself
You can shoot five times without landing.
THE CIRCLE:
WASD - Hold to charge, release to dash through enemies.

The dash attacks drains a bit of energy.

Circle was a bit hard to use because you didn't have control of where you were rolling and you could immediately die if you weren't careful. I think if I were better I could combo circle dash attacks and use square jumps to get out of them, but I couldn't do it on the few tries I attempted it.
All the subtle effects you added really makes the crazy feel come alive.
Nice job Kryptarchy! :D
The mechanics in your game are great by the way ! :)
My score about 4100, .., 6000. Possibly higher on some rounds but forgot to check the score. For possible further development, some kind of a highscore system would be useful and encourage to break the score without memorizing it. The explosion/screenshake effect feels quite heavy as the framerate drops with my poor machine. An intense soundtrack would nail the game, but I get this is a solo compo. :)
Neat!
