Very cool! Took a while to figure out, but was then very fun. Don't forget to rate other games or you won't get a final score!

I was thinking I had to shoot the numbers in the matrices to have the models go berserk but that didn't seem to work? Not sure what I was doing. I would disable voting for audio for your entry as there is none.

I couldn't quite figure out how the gameplay worked. I seemed to sometimes kill on enemy but I would almost always die before that happens. Overall the idea sounds nice but the actual gameplay is very confusing.

@zenmumbler: I did include audio, but something might've gone wrong when building.

@Tselmek: You have to match your gun with the matrix next to the enemy.

Took a while for me to figure out which gun to use... Been too long since I've done linear algebra.

Nice! Like the idea and cool death animations. Sometimes do not have a lot of time to see the matrices long enough.. but just shooting and trying worked well for me :P
