I assumed WASD would be movement but didn't work, and I was halfway through the game before discovering they switched between colors\/waveforms \u2014 they didn't do anything when I first started, of course.  I had trouble navigating with the mouse, since it's hard to tell exactly where the player is relative to the force fields.  I collected a few objects that don't seem to do anything?  And it seems almost arbitrary which color\/waveform will kill creatures or open locks; I ended up just trying everything, and almost didn't realize I could kill anything at all.\n\nAll that aside, I do like this take on the theme, and the idea of collecting waveforms is very interesting!  I think that could be applied to a slightly more puzzley environment, maybe, where the world has subtle clues about what works where, and there's a consequence for guessing wrong.  (Or maybe there _are_ clues here and I totally missed them.)  I also liked the switch puzzle at the top, which seemed straightforward but actually needed a little backtracking; I didn't expect you to get that much mileage from such a small space.\n\nDid you make the art?  It looks like several different styles.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"eevee","author_uid":"1013889","time":"2017-05-04T02:53:02Z","epoch":1493866382,"modified":1493866397,"text":"(oops, double-posted)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nardandas","author_uid":"1015003","time":"2017-05-10T19:45:58Z","epoch":1494445558,"modified":1494445558,"text":"I really enjoyed the art style, it felt really fun and arcadey. I also though that the puzzles looked interesting, but sadly, I had trouble interacting with the game. The movement felt really unresponsive, and the game didn't give me much feedback for my actions. If these issues were fixed, I would love to give it another play. The puzzles really do look interesting, they just need to give the player more feedback as to what they're doing wrong.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"theslate","author_uid":"1014750","time":"2017-05-19T05:47:10Z","epoch":1495172830,"modified":1495172845,"text":"The phase\/color weapon things was a cool idea.
