Community Insight:
This game reminds us of just shapes and beats anyone agree.
Oh mah gosh so good its like just shapes and beats but you can fight back against the shapes (Go play Just Shapes and Beats if you havent).
This game is addictive and incredibly fun to play. We enjoyed it a lot. This is what we were looking for our entire life.
We love it. The best combo ever:wide shot + quad shot + side shot + back shot=best combo ever.
This game is crazy fun like honestly one of the best mobile games Ive played in a LONG time and the style is really cool and we love how theres colors u can change and other things you can buy so it makes gathering triangles feel more fun. The only thing we would maybe add or change is probably the enemies it feels like there isnt really that much of a variety to them which makes the most of the gameplay usually just staying in one place and shooting. Even just a enamel that could shoot back at you would make it feel even more fun. Another thing that needs some work is probably the abilitys since there arent all that many and half of them are just simple things like a speed boost or a damage boost or something but there are some really fun and interesting ones and we especially love how you can combine some abilitys too it makes everything way more fun. So yeah 8.5 out of 10 game its really fun and hella underrated definitely play it if ur thinking about it.
The game is pretty fun.But the game itself is boing.
Amazing game! A great way to burn time while having fun.
This is genuinely one of the best mobile games we have ever played. The integration of easy-to-use controls coupled with the fun mechanics creates a wonderfully immersive experience, and we find ourselves spending hours on this app. The game itself is similar to wave defense with a progression system, and combines these two nicely. Unfortunately, this game relies heavily on RNG to supply you with upgrades, which can make some games very tedious and extremely annoying. However, this is an understandable feature and we do not fault the game for using it. This game could only be improved through the addition of content, which we expect to happen steadily with the aging of the game. Overall, a very fun experience and one we would heavily recommend.
This game is fun, easy to control, and is simple. But it has a few flaws, primarily the effects on killing An enemy is very distracting. As well theres very little upgrades while works forward for simplicity but gives very little depth making it hard to grind for the styles. Even though these flaws exist, this game is worth at least a download. 4/5.
We actually enjoy the game and its a cool style. But we will also say the difficulty ramps up insanely quick and all the explosions kinda cover up the next locations, we also feel that the spawn time is a little too quick. But overall good game just a little improvements thats all it needs.
We thought it was just shapes and beats.
That game is really fun but when you start getting unbalanced the game gets too cluttered and you cant tell if your run is gonna end in .01 second cuz the enemys like to spawn directly underneath you. Either add immunity frames for when an enemy spawns inside you or make it so they don't spawn on top of you in the first place.
It is very fun to play but we do not like how you just get one shot every single time, and also how crystals dont even do much. For a mobile game where you can barely control your character in a small area where there and tens of enemies chasing you it is very easy to get hit and if you do it is game over. Add a health and upgrade system where crystals permanently upgrade your character.
Why can enemies spawn on top of you.
The art style works against the player. The enemy spawn animation is the same as their death animation, which sprinkle particles all across the screen that are the same color as the enemies. Ive died to being on top of a spawning enemy so many times because we cant see them spawn because of all the particles and the screen shaking.
This game gets pretty boring after a little bit. We think more Items, like a shield that regenerates every 2 levels or an item that applies current upgrades to options would be cool. Also, tool tips for each item would be appreciated and the ability to synergy items would be amazing. More enemy types and game modes would be a treat as well. Other than that, very enjoyable game that reminds us of vampire survivors and geometry wars. Will upgrade to 5 stars if the game gets more content.
Ive done everything, ive figured out every single strategy for the game, ive found that there is a max level that keeps annoying us because that means we cant progress anymore and it completely ruins the game. We wish there were more characters and not just tons of backgrounds. And we wish the max level didnt exist.
You ripped of Just Shapes and Beats.
This game is god awful, you dont even get a health bar. Or tutorial.
We think it would be better with lower enemy spawn rates because we just dont have time to move and collect gems. Love the idea though, keep it up.
A cool take on this genre. We feel like the difficulty ramps up too quickly unless you get crazy good RNG. The explosion particles make it really hard to see really fast. Especially when cornered.
Im really loving this little game! One hand is all you need. Cool upgrades and explosions make this one highly recommended.
