Nice work! My one criticism is that there are certain angles that are harder than others because the mouse can leave the app window easier. Otherwise well done!

Amazing! I wish I could have thought of something like this!

This is simple, fun, and beautiful. Amazing job.

@Kinzata: yes I'll look into mouse grabing or even full-screen support for future versions.

Thank you very much for playing and your comments! It means a lot to me!

Really intuitive! It put me into a trance like daze for a lot longer than I thought it would haha. I managed to get one 'Nice surf!', which made me happy.

what a good idea, I feel the music could be amped up some and I think it might work a wee bit better in full screen but, having said that, I feel it's really accomplished. good stuff.

Fun! Fits the theme too. Maybe add some keyboard or gamepad controls for the next version? (Or maybe I just need to get better at the game.)

Great use of the theme! I really found it fun despite the extreme simplicity.

That was a good time !

simple, calme beautiful. with a fullscreen mode, my mouse will not go out of area.

Love how simple, yet addictive it is. Some music would make it even nicer, but it's a great game anyway.

Pros: Very fun and easy to get into, liked it a lot!
Cons: Hard to control with a trackpad, but i guess that is to be expected. =)

(339 with trackpad..)

@nilstastic: impressive score for a trackpad!

@Moist: yes the music would need much more work. I hope to gain more insights into SunVox.

Very well done, I like it a lot, although I had to play it with a touchpad. Those short feedback messages the game throws at you are actually quite encouraging and a nice little touch.

Very cool concept and really minimalistic and solid gameplay. I like the precise steering, but I had trouble with maximizing the speed, since I had to hold the mouse at the edge of the window. Maybe some other speed algorithm could be used to make it even more solid!
The graphical style is lovely by the way. :)

very nice

Stylish and fun, good job! ~

I enjoed this game. I wish it was faster, or had different difficulties levels, so the game would be faster at the start. I liked rotation of camera, but it would be so much better at higher speed, more dynamic. It reminds me about "super hexagon" game for some reason, even though gameplay is different. Overall is 5 stars

tanius 2013-05-03 16:52

Not an easy game for me but i like it. Nice graphics too.

xewlupus 2013-05-05 01:13

Perfectly elegant! Great job!

Jeremias 2013-05-11 14:45

My longest distance was 982! Addictive gameplay and nice flow experience. If you plan to make a post-compo version, you should really add full-screen support at first :D

This is a wonderful game, well done. It isn't often that I think this, but this game would benefit a lot from a joystick/analog stick. Mouse controls in a windows setting are frustrating at best. I also felt like occasionally loops would send me backtracking, which, because of the controls, felt a bit unfair. Other than that one nitpick, I found myself really engrossed by the game. Great work.
