Here's my very quick and sketchy take on the game (link for info on why it's so short and all that jazz)




+Very colorful and simple graphic style.


+Movement and shooting felt smooth.


+Music is very nice.


-Could not make the screen smaller, causing eye strain and having to lean back to try and see the entire monitor at a glance.


-Too colorful. Too many elements onscreen blended together into a big “what is going on”.


-Lacks “introductory” level. I still have no idea if the hexagons are killing me or advancing my level, nor am I too sure on how life/mechanics work, as I was too frantic moving around form the get go to digest much.


To the developer: I’m really not big on shooters so I may be quite off, but my main problem was the fullscreen (I could not properly see what was going on since too large) and the confusion of just too many colorful things blending onscreen and not knowing what was going on. Perhaps if “explosion” graphics were way less intrusive and friendly and enemy graphics were more clearly defined I would have had an easier time. As it is the graphics made things colorful and vibrant, yes, but also really confusing and disorienting.


Its probably a good enough games for people used to shooters, but again, that’s not the case with me OTL
