I think either the enemy bullets are too slow or they attack too fast, because I found it basically impossible to kill them without getting hit if they start shooting. if i didn't kill something right when i got to it, i would have to skip it. I basically resorted to just constantly digging down and hoping i land on enemies.\n\nOther than that, this is wonderful. all it needs is some juicy sfx!\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":631384,"author_name":"seanarooni","author_uid":"seanarooni","epoch":1619471074,"text":" beautiful game!  love the mechanics and how you slowly unlock the colors.  game crashes when I press anything other than the arrow keys or enter to start the game.

I really enjoyed the shape mechanics as well, but the game did occasionally shut down with no apparent reason or warning (must be a stray key press as indicated by @seanarooni).  I think my only feedback for the expanded version might be to tame the size of the enemy projectiles.  They can be insanely large early on which felt odd.  Maybe also a mechanic that rewards a slower paced play as well, some kind of bonus for nailing more enemies as you go rather than just hurtling downward? \n\nI very much dug it!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":636417,"author_name":"bomdiajj","author_uid":"bomdiajj","epoch":1619492729,"text":"Visualy beautiful, the controls feels great and the juice is there (even without sound)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":640171,"author_name":"TheDupy124","author_uid":"thedupy124","epoch":1619513044,"text":"Graphics and moods are incredible.

I got my divination on the first try, basically focusing on going fast downwards and only picking up the enemies that were easy and close by. So it felt like I cheesed it a bit, and perhaps it would have benifitted if there was a counter balance like making the game substantially tricker further down. It also felt like transporting oneself laterally was quite challenging.
