first few levels you don't know the rules and it's horrible. after a while u think, well, how hard can this be? n then the fun comes

Fun game until level 40 or so, then you find yourself doing the same level over 10 different times, hoping for the right combo of power-ups, so you can do the next level 10 different times. Ehhhh.

Wow, the later levels are really luck-based because of how huge the map gets. Other than that, pretty fun game though.

I don't like the strange music and the gameplay is boring and too repetitive for me. Minimalistic only for the effects, 2/5

I couldn't give it 4.5, so i gave it 5 :-P
BEST GAME I'VE PLAYED YET!!
totally makes sense to be on the staff picks..
the song is SO creepy, though..

I just finished it, and considering that I started yesterday it don't take as long as it seems (5-6h). Two areas was hard to understand for me: the one with gray circles in it - on level 72 I figured out its a minimap, sometimes can save live. The second one looks like cog - I haven't realized how it works even after beating all levels. Now about the game... what can I say, it totally captivated me.

The terrain affecting your shots is a great idea and the power-ups are brilliant. Especially the death ray, though it's hard to aim. After I got several of them, it was basically a net of death.

Great idea, but the no-click idea goes a little too far with the pause/options menu - it keeps popping up while I'm firing and accidentally hovering over my ship. Put it in the corner instead?

3/5 Too luck based for me. There is skill required but on some of these levels if the first few circles don't drop a useful area its game over.

The first time I played it, I didn't know what to do and got bored. I came back now and just realised how good this game is. It's simplistic yet so confusing, no text to explain anything and even the tutorial is unclear. But that's what makes this game so good, you have to discover everything by yourself. The combination of the lack of text, the black and white scheme and the music gives it a surreal and mysterious feeling.

One of the best shooter games on Kongregate. Any flash game that's just as long and fun as a movie gets a 5 star from me.

This game is amazing. You figure out the rules as you go along, so it's actually sort of a puzzle-shooter hybrid. To compare the feeling, it's like assembling several identical pieces of furniture, without the instructions. The first one you make will probably have something horribly wrong, but then you apply what you learned to the next one you build. A few identical pieces of furniture later, you've figured out how it is supposed to be built, without the instructions. Then you're given a slightly different piece of furniture to assemble, and now you have to figure something new out using what you learned before, and through a bit of experimentation. I don't know if what I said does justice to this game though, so: tl;dr play this game! (don't worry about the annoying shooting mechanic [requiring the mouse to constantly be in motion] from the first few levels, it does NOT stay the same)

There's a difference between unique minimalism and just...annoying because you can't figure a damn thing out. ..Even the instructions have to be cryptic. It shows you muting music..but I have no idea how to still..or how to shoot.I just randomly let off a few shots...stop and get killed.

I decreased my 5/5 score for originality to a 4/5. The last 4 levels are based on 100% luck of whether or not you encounter those balls before they grow too much to kill them. Still nice, but damn... I'm so glad I finally got the hard badge.

I love everything about this game. But the thing i love the moste is that u can combine the ring power thingys. Very sloppy art but yet very beautiful and relaxing.

There are only two games I have encountered with this control scheme (this one included), and both are unique and highly enjoyable. Their gameplay is also quite disparate. I wonder why people make so many games that are identical to others as supposed to actually innovative things like this.
I love this game, creepy music and all.

Gave it a second chance, and I must admit that I LOVE this game. Quite a sloppy start, but once you get hooked you can't stop :p at first I thought this game was way too long, but now I'm glad it is :)

Actually a nice game. But quite long, really. And did not like the music. But still 4/5 because it it really creative and actually not boring at all.
