PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Survive as long as possible against never-ending waves of self-learning AI opponents! Each wave, a genetic algorithm advances a step, making it more difficult to survive.
How do you defend yourself? You have gravity on your side! Use your Attractor to deflect and reflect the shots of the enemies right back at them!
Controls:
WASD - Move
Mouse - control attractor
LMB - activate attractor

Nice idea and i like how the enemys learn. Bullets were a bit hard to really control but it was still very fun.
Simple yet cool graphics with the lighting and all. Had a hard time surviving for long. My attractor seemed too weak.
The game looks cute but laggs and is unplayable on my computer :(
(not gonna rate)
Really nice mechanic and gameplay and minimalistic art style, nice job! :)
The atmosphere was excellent. Game design and wave progressions should be worked on more. I did like the music and shapes really fit the theme.
I can't seem to run the game, getting the error:
"The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer."
@armas0000 you need to install the x64 VS2013 runtime. Usually it is already installed. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
After a few rounds, it seemed like the enemies started adjusting to my hiding spot. If that was intentional, that's quite impressive. A very fun game either way.
Awesome game, the learning made it really cool. The visuals (lighting and all) were great and the projectile pull mechanic was fun.
I'll agree with the crowd here. Hit the money with the graphics and execution. Fun game.
Wow, I had a lot of fun playing this game. At first, I kept dying early but then, at every attempt, I kept trying to figure out how the AI worked to survive a round longer and it eventually became addicting once I figured some stuff out. Awesome work!! :O
That was a fun mechanic. Nice use of color and sounds. Good submission.
I loved this. Just curious - what are the different factors that are being evaluated as part of the fitness function for the enemies?
I would have preferred having better feedback for bullet control, it was difficult to tell how effective my attract / repelling was or if I was even doing it. Having an effect that shows how much each bullet is being influenced would help, or if you just made it so doing a repel on bullets your color mirrors their velocity so it feels snappy.
The AI learning was cool, though it mostly involved progressively getting more and more aggressive when I was playing.
Really cool idea. Great use of machine learning! It didn't really seem like the attractor did much and was hard to tell when it was activated. Usually the AI murdered me hard on round 4. Would love to see more!
Great idea, it was hard for me to figure out how the gravity worked since there's no feedback on activation. Otherwise, very fun game. I'm intrigued by how the A.I. Really learns.
Good job !
Dont quite get how gravity worked, but interesting game. I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q11RJey0954

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
This game was very fun and had nice execution
