I have fallen in love with this, and I don't know why. The music is wonderful, and the game play is confusing in a fun way ^_^

Finally beat the last level. Still don't really know what all of the powerups did, took a little while to figure out the map one. Would be nice to get a brief description for each one. Even a name would help! Also, buttons are not overrated. Buttons are quick and precise. Not having them means the game might do things I don't want to. I wonder how many times the pause menu popped up when I didn't want it to? Still a cool game though. Has a nice difficulty curve, and the levels never got too dull. (unless you get stuck on one for a while) I just feel that the minimalism theme was taken a little too far.

level 74 is pure luck it seems, the thing is zoomed in so you can't see where the it will spawn, in a manner you can stop the spheres after a certain size.

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.
