This game was surprisingly good. To me the gameplay was novel and refreshing. The game lasted just long enough without getting stale. When you download the game, make sure to pay attention to the tips in the first level that tell you how to do things :) The control scheme was a little clunky, but overall I definitely think this game is worth a download.

I usually like abstract games like this, but this was not very good.

The controls were sluggish, the music was boring and irritating and the gameplay simply made me yawn after a few minutes.

not engaging gameplay, no user feedback, should not have won any awards, and this took how long to make? wasted time

I spent way too long trying to figure our how to fly towards the first enemy. It seemed like I couldn't even fly closer to it. Maybe I'm inept, but a game should accommodate for users such as that.

In case someone is interested I've made an interview with the creators of Empyreal Nocturne.
