Cool game, my favourite out of related game jam games. It is really self-explanatory/intuitive, because it is so simple, you don't need tutorial or explanation. And the game starts really easy and builds up at an appropriate pace. Although simple, the game is very engaging, love it, it also has a mean soundtrack. Good job man.

Hey, thanks a lot eNt. Very glad you liked my game!   :o)
I've started working on a "full/HD" version of this game, but I've not got very far (hoping to get it finished by the end of the year).
Alas, can't take much credit for the music - that's all "The Prodigy" ;o)
Thanks again! :D

HERE'S THE VIDEO
