Found it quite hard, but I like how the circles and visibility interact, was that hard to program?
not too hard, it's just an "invert" draw and some custom collisions. you can see the source if you want, 6 or 7 basic classes with a web lines of code.
Very original concept, good music and decent art, too. Level 3 was a bit too hard for me though. :)
I don't fully understand the gameplay
but I like when the color overlap each other
music too, feel relaxed
Not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I had a great time nonetheless!
This may just be the best LD26 game I've played so far.
Interesting concept, but it took me some time to understand what I was supposed to do. Nice music and psychedelic visuals !
I don't entirely get it but the audio and graphics were really nice, I think I might just leave it on as background music... :)
I was hooked as soon as the .swf loaded. I couldn't figure out how to pass the third stage... but I had fun anyway. I wish I could program this pretty - I'll have to check out the source.
Sweet, very tricky & innovative. Might have to come back to this one... you stumped me with #5 :)
Interesting gameplay, trippy visuals :)
This is a really interesting concept, great work! The puzzles are a little tricky, but I enjoyed it.
ah, so beautiful
Nice! Music and visuals give a very relaxing vibe :)
Gameplay is simple, yet engaging (and challenging! I'm still trying to beat the third level)
Boy, that #3 level scalated quickly... I think I figured out the objective of each level, but I couldn't crack the 3rd level... :(
Maybe a shortcut to advance level, just so we can appreciate all levels? ;)
As we discussed in the IRC, fiendishly difficult puzzles from fiendishly simple mechanics. Looks gorgeous when it goes all crazy as well. the music is starting to dig into my brain.
this gam is dum
I don't understand the game, and can't beat level 3. Otherwise nice music, and the circles effect looks cool!
I got to level 7! I probably won't come back later to try to beat it again because it has already gotten a solid hour of playtime, and I have other games to rate ;) Nice color composition and use of circles. Great job.
Fun game. It is however very hard.
Original, pretty and hard. I like it!
Thanks for checking out my game! Wow this a really unique concept and i like the graphics and music. Nice job :)
Interesting, yet very confusing. I still don't get it 100% I think. :)
I didn't understand how to beat a level, but it was fun clicking around.
I updated because there was a silly bug at level 8 at prevented you from winning (the colors from the background did not mach the ones of the squares, rendering the winning condition impossible). That's the only change I made... If I could i would add more levels before the 3th to make the difficulty curve smoother :P
Thanks to all of you who played the game for all the comments! It's been some really useful feedback ^^
Amazing atmosphere,quite psychedelic. Luv it!
I can't get past the third level and i'm not sure i'm trying to do the right thing. can you give a small spoiler help ?
I understood it, but it needs better level progression.
SPOILER HINT:
the goal is to hide all the squares using areas of their same color.
when two circles overlap, the color changes again, so you can toy a little with the game and see which patterns could be good to solve each level. 3rd level is way too difficult after the first too, the easiest way to win is being fast in that one.
Quite good, although I was *really* confused by the puzzle...
This hurts my brain but is great
Really great idea. Maybe the level design and the difficulty is not totally good. But nice work.
I'm not sure how to progress in the game.
A bit difficult and hard to find the trick, but very nice idea and atmosphere.
Kinda way too hard even with instructions. Top notch sound experience!
This is really interesting and the visuals are excellent. As you said level 3 is pretty difficult even with the trick and the game crashed after the fourth, but I'm retrying it!
Even though it was not designed as a sandbox game at first, I enjoyed this very quiet and peaceful game for the nice visual you can generate. Like other people, I got stuck on puzzle 3, probably too mind bending for me. I think the game mechanic should be explained with a step by step tutorial to lead the player. Good game!
Fantastic game. Intelligent mechanic and really hard. I love puzzles, but I admit that your game destroyed a little my early engagement. The second level could be easier to keep maitaining my attention on the top! Congratz anyway!!
Very cool. I didn't achieve all the puzzles :) fucked my brain ^^
I couldnt get passed the third level. I dig the audio, and the mood was still good even with my frustration of the first level. Maybe something to train me better on how to pass level 3. I saw your tip about being fast and i just started clicking fast i somehow got the middle purple square to go away but it came back. Great take on the theme.
It's really hard, in my opinion.
ugh, I guess I suck in puzzle games and this one's no exception. first I didn't know what to do, then when I read the instructions here, I didn't know HOW to do it. so I clicked around wildly until the performance dropped significantly...
but the game looks good and creates some nice moiré patterns.
lovely audio, you were right about 3/9 being hard
I tried again after reading the hints, but still can't win level 3. I guess I have to click faster, but I can't.
