The game is simple but good, the last level is hard but nice :)

I don't think I've seen a game with this exact mechanic before, and there were some clever parts that make good use of it. However, the music drove me freaking nuts. Not sure why exactly but I found it irritating beyond belief. Nice game other than that.

That is really good. The controls are pretty much perfect... which is very important in a game like that!

I thought it was clever to have a precision puzzle game with a rotating stick. Made for some interesting puzzles, in any case.

My only real complaint is that I felt that the music got very annoying after a while, though I suppose there's just not much you can do no such short notice.

Don't forget there is a little "Sound" button on the bottom left of the title screen, to turn it off ;). Thank for your comments !

the game is nice and fun to play, but its a lot similar to another puzzle game for the GBA

I like the game mechanism here :)

Nice tricky puzzler.

Really fun game. Sliding through the corridors at just the right time was enjoyable.

wow -- that was so awesome -- great use of the theme -- simple gameplay, yet addicting -- want to play again -- awesome effort

Good game, simple, minimalist as the Theme. Good job !

Interesting concept, a good mix of puzzle and timing. The collision effects are very satisfying. I found the music got a little annoying after a while, but wasn't a big problem. It seems like mouse control might be cool, but could take some time to implement effectively. Good job overall!

Also, very nice logo, heh.

Neat, I like the effect when the bar hits the walls. The harsh melody that comes into the music in level three is jarring and doesn't really fit.

I was just thinking of a GBA game that was very similar to this! Very cool mechanic, well used.

bigblackbeard 2013-04-30 05:11

There is a litle music bug in level 3, old song don't stop, so, the new one is playing over the old, no realy enjoyable. Sorry for that !

very nice, cool mechanic. Levels were probably right about the difficulty they should be, but christ was level 6 annoying. The final level was actually pretty awesome once you mastered it, I felt like I was doing some kind of crazy kung fu training. "Be like the wind." It felt like dancing or something. Interesting how such a simple mechanic can express so much, minimalism to a T.

Beat all 7 levels, I know you have a "high score" table, but I'm not sure how much replay value there really is. Maybe if there were time-trials/challenge mode, I dunno http://imgur.com/Rfsa8SJ But I can't really complain for 48 hours. Well done, sir.

Very interesting concept, and also well executed. It's surprisingly fun and addictive.

The music had me on edge pretty quickly, though :) Became grating fast.

Congratulations! :)

I like the sparks when you hit the walls. Sound is nice. Rotating strategic thinking for movement

imagnity 2013-05-01 15:45

I didn't expect that to be that good by the images and then got surprised. Damn! Good job mate!

psenfilip 2013-05-02 19:54

The controls and collision response are luckily very well implemented. It satisfies the core mechanics, making the game pleasant to play, despite its inherent difficulty.

The sound is a bit too much repetitive but, hey, minimalism right.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-03 22:57

Lovely idea! like the musiv and level-progression :)

alfonzm 2013-05-11 02:24

Nice mechanic, I had fun playing this game. Awesome work! :)
