Is there a way to skip to intro sequence? It was fine the first time, but it's too long to sit through again and again. I only played a few times because of that. Turrets didn't seem to fire. You seem to be able to place blocks anywhere - I assumed they would have to be connected.

@kipkat Oops, yes. It even says say in your controls section, which I somehow totally failed to notice...

I really like the core mechanic of this game. Intro was fun, I liked it )

It took a few tries to figure out what to do, but it turned out to be a fun little game. Once I had brick walls defending my turrets and catchers around the core I felt pretty invulnerable. Nice game, good work!

Seems like a cool game overall. I do wish there was a bit more explanation for the blocks, and it didn't look like there was a way to start over after you lose, which would have been nice.

Cool game. For a long time I thought the catchers had to lure and collide with the star particles, as opposed to just farming automatically. Seems like I'm not getting enough bullets out of my turrets, but maybe that's because the game has slowed down so much?

Oof, at first I was really worried something went wrong and was ready to send a bugreport, but fortunately everything was fine :D

I liked sfx and special effects you used on the font. The game was just tough enough to remain entertaining, but not too stressful. By the way, may I suggest you lock scrolling so I can zoom in and out without actually scrolling through the page? It concerns the html5 build, of course.

@shess that can be done after pressing F11 (for fullscreen). I recommend fullscreen any LD45 game before playing :smiley: Thanks for playing my game! <3

@madbarron the turret bullets are very powerful and that's why the turrets have small rate. A group of 10 turrets is a perfect weapon for enemies :)

Good game, I would like to see this be developed further. It would be nice if you could buy blocks just be selecting them and then clicking rather than having to purchase so many and then place them down. Overall though great job!

very impressive UI at the beginning, the shaking of letter are so nice

Intro was nicely flavorful with the shaky text, and exploring the system of the game itself was pretty interesting.

I eventually ended up in a stable state of making more than I lost, although I didn't have the perfectionism to go after it quite like @space-wumpus did above (very cool).

Cool entry with a lot going on, nice work! And very well-rounded for a compo, with music and sound effects as well.
