I liked the feel of hitting things. You are sluggish when slogging through/losing hp and godlike when smashing to gain hp. Nice submission!

Holy cow! My favorite submission so far! I love surfing along the edge of the big group, and it's worth fighting through to get dash! Got to the second handling upgrade. I wish I could restart close to the power level when I died.

After a couple tries, I got to the end. Using dash to plow through the center group was a blast. Cool concept, would love to see more!

Great game! Really enjoyed it. Couldn't tell if there was an end, so I eventually just let myself die, but thank you!

Ah two of my favorite things. Velocity and sm...smelling the roses. ;) But for real, I enjoyed this a lot. The particles when you killed the things were pretty satisfying and the camera shake as well. But I think you should add more, because after all--this is a game about DESTROYING THINGS AAAAAAAH! No, I loved it though! I think if one thing, sound is what is lacking which seems to be holding it back a bit, but with the timeframe given, I totally understand. ;)

Great job! The game have vety nice flow. I just want dash to be unlocked a bit early. I immideately died after aquiring it and was to lazy to start from scratch.

It is a fun little game! I enjoyed playing it. The idea is really neat. It gets very repetitive after playing for some time. I wish there were more items and variables in the game. Also, the graphics and art needs work. Other than that, it is a decent entry.

Very cool, although I felt the start was bit slow without the power-ups. Loved the sfx!

Really fun mechanic! I enjoyed keeping my velocity up and smashing a bunch of those red cubes.
Cool entry!
