I am still working on this little thing but just thought I might share, maybe even get some constructive comments.
Screenshots (doesn't do it justice)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9761645/psyon/psyon.gm81I do realize it is pretty much unplayable (as there is little gameplay yet), but just let it set in a bit. The level should be quite recognizable.
See it as a little style demo. For now all you can do is look for the different exits that will start you over. There are 5.
Arrows = move
Shift = run
Space = fire
Control (hold) = strafe
I'd also like to know if it looks the same on your end, that I have not been building this game on a glitch thats soley on my end (no background colour = trails).
Things I want to put in:
*I want to incorporate story with less abstract levels, solid and straight so you feel really lost and desperate when you're in this room.
Something about entering a digital body/realm maybe. Notice how/when the body gets angry while you make your way.
*a more neon glow to everything
*roguelike/action/rpg elements. (enemies/health/items/etc.)
*a way to reset the trails when you stop/start moving (more control) Maybe add a background then remove it? Sounds impossible!
*other stuff
I'm sort of...playing and making it. Just wanted to see what this enigma thing could do. Im very happy and impressed!
Also, if you have a spare minute, can somone compile this for me to pc/mac so I can show it to some friends? I'm having tremendous difficulty.
Yes I know I'm crazy.
