This is my submission to the Interstellar Jam 4!

The theme was "Another Dimension," so in this game you have to avoid projectiles by moving across your 1D line (an *axis*) in a 2D realm!

By collecting orbs you can change your axis and gain a score point. Once you get hit and run out of health, that's it, that's your score.

I would say you've beaten the game once you get a star/gold medal, 14 axis shifts, but you've really mastered it once you get the **wow** medal! (don't worry, its not that much further)

Clever use of the theme:) I really like the particle effects and screen shake. Nice work!

Dude, this is absolutely fantastic. Classic retro feel, amazing concept, responsive controls, tons of juice. Very, very fun game. Only thing I would say is it has no character/story since its all shapes, but I wouldn't even say that's necessary. Out of most of the submissions so far, I absolutely adore this one. Amazing work, wish you the best of luck!
