What do you think?

This one is fun! I love how much this stands out from the other jam entries. Despite the theme, I haven't seen any other games with a crop circle mechanic yet. The corn stalk sprites look really good and have a nice depth to them as you're cutting your way through the fields.

I also really like how there's a period of downtime at the start of each level where you can focus on precision before the enemies show up. Nice variety of enemies, and I like that the projectiles are slow enough that you can focus on the pattern without doing too much dodging. I also really like the trade-off between finishing the pattern or blowing up a few tanks to buy yourself some time.

I'd love to see more of this one in the future. Great work on this game!

The Grand Design
 

Welcome Humans! We see that internet is no more... So we try to communicate with drawings! Help us convey our message with beautiful crop circles!

In Fringe Theory: The Grand Design you assume direct control of Blirp and Blorp and try to create shapes using your U.F.O. laser without getting shot down by scared humans.

In single player, mode Blirp tries to sneak a few messages on the planet! In multiplayer, Blorp tries to protect Blirp using his ultra cannons and next-gen EMP laser beam!

Goal

Draw as many shapes as you can to get the highest score you can! In every level draw enough of a shape to get your message across! (70%)
