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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>All the subtle effects you added really makes the crazy feel come alive."},{"author_name":"panurge","author_uid":"21166","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 8:27am","epoch":1461054120,"text":"Okay that was fun!

The enemies although being squares feel like they have some kind of personnality. Like the sound too. And the general gameplay and abilities are nice too. On the other side i felt like you could easily &quot;break&quot; the game by jumping high enough and then changing to triangle. And this is maybe cause I was not good enough but it felt a little too difficult in the beginning, not forgiving at all. Maybe start by making it easier and then scaling the dificulty. Fun game overall though!"},{"author_name":"sharrackor","author_uid":"92033","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 11:52am","epoch":1461325620,"text":"Nice game! I would exclude the mac files from the windows download (they take up 11 MB of space) and make the enter key on the keypad respond to the press enter commands.

It is soo cool to switch to the rectangle, dash a couple of time mid-air to get on top of a large enemy group and then smash down with triangle. &lt;3 The precise controls really make it! Just need to avoid going too crazy within a group and forgetting the energy (oops). I that while you can get to the upper level for a little cooldown, the enemies are able to climb there. The enemy movement feels really organic as well, I like it. There seems to be a ceiling as well. I managed to dash through the wall with the circle a few times and fall to eternity. Had to restart the whole game. :P Also happened to remain squeezed after jumping high with circle and changing the shape.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Neat!"},{"author_name":"FiSilva","author_uid":"56232","time":"May 6, 2016 @ 2:05pm","epoch":1462543200,"text":"It's a bit hard at first, but that makes it fun.
