The thing that you have to approach every cube at the right angle to avoid getting hit was very interesting. But god, this is hard. :O I managed to get past like 3 cubes.

Also, the visuals are nice!

Really frantic once I figured it out, could use a little more depth but I like it! I don't like right trigger and right bumper being the only controls though, mashing them gets painful quick! Maybe next time use the left buttons and the right buttons rather than loading it all on the right.

I like the abstract textures, those really fit the game. The "getting hit" and explosion effects are also really enjoyable. Overall gameplay needs a bit more depth though in my opinion.
My highscore was 57.12

Nice gamepad support, the mechanic is fun even if it seems to have no real difficulty.
I would have set "fire" on right trigger and "recharge" on left trigger, because triggers are smoother buttons.
Nice entry :thumbsup:

Really good game in my opinion. Forcing the player to use an xbox controller makes also forces the player to play it with analogue input, and since it is made with only a controller in mind it feels very good. My highscore is 23 seconds.

Felt pretty good to control. Not sure if I was doing it right, but I was just mashing the right trigger to recharge.

Control feels really nice. I don't completely get the energy thing, I just kept charging until I went fast, and the enemies couldn't really deal any damage. But it was fun anyway! :D
I like the simple graphics style, and with some sound effects and music, this could be a great casual game! Nicely done!

Very fun once I got the hang of it. My score was about 32 seconds. The very high speed once I was fully charged felt very good, and the split second decision making at that speed was excellent.
