Simply amazing, it goes to show what anybody can do if they set their mind to it. It lacks depth but for the first 10 minutes it's an amazing experience and I think there is a lot of room for improvement but It has the ability to be something truly great. I was a little disappointed to not see some better, smoother graphics, coming from an art student but I'm sure that can easily be improved. The particle effects are mesmerizing though and are one of the reasons why I love the game so much, I really could go on forever, but the bottom line is, it could be better, but it's amazing already. Play it.

I was instantly hooked on this game the first time I played it. The main things that attracted me to this game were its simple, pixel-style graphics, and unique game play. The screen shots showcase lots of activity, and when you actually play the game, it more than delivers in the visual overload dept.

As you progress through the levels you can expect things to get pretty overwhelming in that "Geometry Wars" kind of way. And the assortment of power moves are fun, but I wonder if they should all be available from the beginning.

It's a great arcade style game that stands on its own, and it's cool to hear that Adam is porting it to the Xbox 360.

This game is pretty fun! It's just screaming for a PSP port. :P

Me personally, love fast paced games, but Forces, is the fastest game I have EVER played. The whole point of forces (kill enemys with sparks) is quite simple, but even the first level challenges new players. With so many Force attacks, there are tons of ways of killing your enemys. Forces is a fun game, and addictive, and should be played for all.

It's a nice game, but it has extremely low replay value.

This game is unique and addicting. Very well polished. I would like to see the source code released so there could be a 360 port :)

This game is simply amazing, it's a blast to play and is incredibly addictive. Hours will pass before you can convince yourself to quit.

This fast-paced action game cannot be categorized as a normal space shooter, because it offers a much better game play and a lot of features. The only problem I found was that it still occasionally crashes. Must have and FREE!

This game is strange, I only played it briefly, and whilst I didn't have too much of an idea of wtf was going on, i felt somehow...drawn to it. Must of been fun to write.

Fun and interesting concept. Quick to learn and to play. Fun without being too challenging. It's got some neat little options that push it above the rest (stuff like pausing if you leave the game screen, the simple yet explanatory tutorial, etc.)
Things to improve on: Graphical quality, more enemies, greater difficulty curve (if you want it), maybe add some more sound effects.

Cool game with a very simple concept that's just plain fun. Takes a second to get into it but once you figure out the mechanics the gameplay just flows.

Only real issue is a low frame rate at times, but that's not a show stopper in any way.

I've never played a game like it, it's very impressive. Certainly the best game I've discovered through this site. It could start a new subgenre of the shmup, like the danmaku games did, it's that innovative. It could do with some improvements, but I'm lenient because it was a class project.

Simple, and a great foundation for a fun little title, good work Adam.

Forces is a game that takes no time at all to learn, but takes some time, and fast reflexes, to master.

The overall graphics are minimal (especially when you turn down the graphic settings), but the particle effects are very well done for a Turing program.

The aforementioned graphic settings are quite useful when running the game on a low powered computer. (It also impacts gameplay slightly, but I got used to it after a bit.)

Overall the game is fun, and thats what matters in the end.

An impressive game. The graphics are simple, but at the same time, a joy to look at. The sound is rather simple, but the music is great. The gameplay itself is interesting, and fun, though the special attacks are a bit overpowered (especially the Lightning).

Overall, it's great!
