Very relaxing game.
Great game!
Great sounds, great music, great aesthetic, and a simple but pleasant gameplay direction. Good job!
I agree, great sounds! really dreamlike.
Very cool! Bookmarked for later, gotta reach the top. :D
Very nice job. I got to the top. I think. I was expecting some sort of pat on the back when I got there though. Is there an ending, or do you just sort of roll off and do it again?
At the top level you need to bounce up to a certain height to win the game.
Excellent game! Graphics, sounds, and gameplay are all very well done.
Awesome!
Fits the theme perfectly. Great job!
Nicely done.
I really like this. Very cool idea and well executed!
very nice :)
Lovely surreal game. Harder than I first expected, but once I got the hang of it I found it very enjoyable. The sound effects were well-fitting and the ambient sound created a fantastic atmosphere.
Really relaxing yet still pretty challenging. Long loading times.
Nice Job!
Very nice one!
Very nice aesthetic. I love the sounds.
Greet mood and atmoshpere. Spot on sfx and visuals. Oh AND A Delicious SURPRISE!
Very pretty game! Very hard near the top!
Someone said it was relaxing. I completely disagree. This game is nerve-racking! I love the dissonant ping sounds when you bounce. This is actually better than a lot of games I've paid money for. Great job!
Very pretty!
Verl well done and polished, but a bit difficult and stressful without checkpoints, knowing that at any time you could screw up and fall all the way back to the bottom. :( Still, good job with the theme and especially the audio!
Great in every aspect.
Fantastic game! Would've loved it even more if it was a bit faster (or if it got faster with time).
+1
Zen, peaceful game. Simple but effective.
I love the mood of this game. In contrast to it's relaxing appearance the gameplay made me almost seize due to the tension :)
THE LINUX VERSION MISSED THE DATA FOLDER. (but you can get it by downloading the windows version).
This is a pretty awesome game.
The game plays at a really nice pace, looks awesome and overall is a veryenjoyable experience.
rated 4 or 5 start on each catogory
This is quite lovely, I love teh aesthetic.
Awesome! Looks great, sounds great, and it's really fun. I like that hitting the edges of the blocks sends you off sideways, makes it that bit trickier.
very very nice!
very nice!
LOVE the atmosphere and the aesthetics! Game is addicting and the music soothing but the gameplay might need some loosening up. One of my favs so far! :)
Very fun!
Thanks for rating PHILIP KLAS! Almost made it to the top, but hit one at a weird angle and went flying off the screen. haha! Loved the style though.
That is very nice! Reminds very vaguely my game, which also has a bouncing ball. :) (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=66)
Wow near perfection :o
This is amazing. Loved it! :)
I like the lost life mechanic. Nice "inifite" feeling about the whole game. Something slightly awkward about the camera angle when arriving into a new level, be nice if it chased you up there. Sound is lovely chiming... murmur underneath contributes to the infinite space feeling. Good job!
Ahhhh, finally completed it. I started getting a little angry after I fall down twice at the very last stage.
But great game, I really enjoyed playing it :)
The surprise was kind of predictable but I like the fireworks (remind me of my game ;))
Good Job!
Great job. I honestly thought this would be a lot harder than it was! Something I would play a lot more of!
First one that deserves a five or two - the icing on the cake would be potato though, I mean, perhaps a difficult version where the player object is not spheroid but potatoid, and bounces randomly to increase the hazardousness and precariousness of the challenge. :D
Nice! The sound matches the style very well. Simple, yet challenging...and relaxing, too!
really cool but difficult :)
Sadly, the Linux package does not work:
$ ~/Downloads/hru.bin
Found path: /home/thomas/Downloads/hru.bin
There is no data folder
A bit difficult, but I don't really mind that. Nice sounds! Really got to the minimal feel with the textures and such. Nice work.
very good polishing but not relaxing :)
Sorry about the broken Linux build -- fixed that (I hope).
good ending
Excellent visuals. I love the title screen. Going from black and white to color was really cool. very polished. great music. very rewarding to beat. lol great potato model. very realistic textures haha.
This game really drew me in with the ambient music and tones.
Excellent, i like the interaction between music and interaction, the mood is good and the gameplay innovate. Really great on all domain !
Really nice aesthetics
Fantastic, really like the sound mixed in with the pacing, you really nailed it in mood. Very relaxing to play.
Concise, well designed, and difficult! One of the best entries yet!
Very cool.
Wow, super polished, simple, original gameplay. Great game, chugged a bit on my laptop, I'll play it again another day at full speed.
Really enjoyable game mechanic- fits the minimalism theme strongly!
It looks super nice, has good audio feedback, and has a calming atmosphere. I got to the very top and fell off without getting what I presume is a potato or cake though. That was my fifth time getting high up and falling...I didn't want to do it again p_p
Lovely presentation and Zen-like experience. Hits all the right notes. :)
Very soothing. Love the crispness of the graphics. Nice!
Really well done game, from the perspective, gameplay, sound effects, ambient music, etc. Loved how a bad bounce is a minor-key sound, a good bounce sounds pleasing. Gameplay did feel a little sluggish at first, but I got used to it and it felt relaxing over time. Nice work on this one!
Sweet game, didn't reach the end but gotta do that later to discover the surprise!
awesome!
I like it, nice and simple concept. I got a laugh out of the ending.
Wow, this is an Amazing first entry.
It's beautiful, minimalistic. Te sound/music is great. It's fun to play not too easy or hard.
And then there's the end...
this is an incredible game! :)
Cool. Very relaxing. And minimal. Was frustrated at times by the side bounce. Liked the audio and sound, mechanics were great!
Really enjoyed this one! I'm loving how this theme brings so many calm, relaxing fun games. The best way to end a frantic jam.
I really like this.
Definitely embraces minimalism. It feel really polished.
Things like the white dot that shows you the x/y co-ords on the block you are on, the really smooth camera zoom in and out make it frustration free. Really cool game.
Simple mechanics heavily tied with good aesthetics and sound. Really smooth after I got the hang of the input.
Excellent and well polished use of the theme.
Loved it! The audio cues felt great. And it was actually fun. I loved experimenting with how the ball interacted with each block and finding new tricks.
The overall mood of this is amazing. The audio fits very well with the visuals. The sound played when getting to a new level is very rewarding.
Very relaxing and nice combination between the jumping platforms and the sound.
Really nice game :)
Nice game!
very creative and well done
Pros: Very nice game! Great idea and a solid implementation. =)
Cons: Nothing, good job!
Nice game, very relaxing.
I love this. I got very high up, and I couldn't bring myself to restart, though. :P
Cool one.
Amazing loved the little touches like the starfield and clouds . The jump boxes getting taller just felt really polished.
Great game, hope you reach a high position, as it is a really fun and great looking/sounding game with lots of fun!
nice
I love this game, in my top favourites, i cant help but want to move the camera though
Really good, very relaxing. Loved it :D
Great game!
Best game I played so far! You are a genius :D
I found it very relaxing and although at first I had some difficult with the controls, but once I got it I enjoyed the game. Thanks!
Overall fun, the controlls seemed a bit stiff, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Liked the colors and physical interactions. The levels progressed nicely and didn't get too hard too quickly. (No speakers so no audio rating, sorry) Nice entry, much fun!
Amazing! Love the graphics and sound. Really great use of the theme!
Wonderful all round, one of the few entries I've wanted to come back to.
Very artistic. Sound effects are awesome. Nice job
I nearly fall asleep... Not because it's boring but because it's so hypnotic and relaxing. It's almost meditative in a way :)
Really impressive!
Wow, great game, love the sound and idea.
I enjoyed the audio and the general soothing aesthetics of the game. Props on keeping it simple too!
Wow, 5 stars for this. A bit Frustrating (because im not good at reaching the top T_T) but very well done, it's so polished. Really good job
Nice job with the theme
oh ok i made it! :D cool ending xD
Love it! Great work on this, the gameplay, sound and graphics are all tight and well done! Big Kudos!
I got to the top platform, but couldn't bounce high enough to win. I'll likely try again later!
Excellent mood, the whole game feels very unified artistically. Good work!
great game. Sad that you couldn't get gamepad support in, specially with the tease of it accepting the 'A' button to start :)
That was amazing. Really clever use of an interesting mechanic, great ambience, taught me about the subtleties of movement. And THAT REWARD!
I'm a better person for having played this game.
One of the best games I've played so far in this LD.
++Nice ending.
Simple, very polished and pretty relaxing.
Loved it!
"hru" - the sound I made every time I fell down. But I kept going, I needed that delicious reward so bad! And boy, was it worth it! Such a delicious reward indeed. Omnomnom!
Really atmospheric game with a great art style that tricks you into believing it will be a relaxing experience. :D
Nice kind of Zen game
A challenge to get the hang of and quite fun. I'll be replaying this every now and again, well done.
I feel so relaxed now. ahhhhhhhhh......
Had a ton of fun! Couldnt help but keep wanting to try and get higher :D Very nice graphics and the controls work really well.
A very appealing aesthetic, relaxing melodies, and well polished. Great job!
Very nice but difficult controls. Not relaxing at all.
Very fun game!
Such a nice game, I like the visuals and feel. Sort of addictive, would make a great cell phone game
What a happy ending, love the concept and development, thanks for sharing!
5 - mood
Could you add the arrow keys or AZERTY keyboard config ? :p For us the poor french guys...
Very interesting mechanic and concept, and a lot of fun to play. One of the best I've seen this compo.
Great work!
Well done, I feel an even more minimal color scheme would have been in service of this entry.
Loved it! Relaxing music and gameplay while still being fun and somewhat challening. Great job! :)
Nice game, but a bit frustrating to start all over from the beginning when you drop down.
Requires some spatial reasoning and patience. Very nice.
Very rarely do you find a game, that you want to continue playing to keep the music going.
Very niece piece. Going to come back and play this again!
Great game! Fun, and it fits the theme nicely at all levels. Well done :D
Awesome game! Sometimes its really hard to aim ball properly. Really cool mix of sound effects and music.
I think this is my favourite game so far. The level of polish is sublime. I guess the only thing I'd say is that sometimes I felt I failed simply because I couldn't gauge the perspective - if the ball clipped the side of a block, it was difficult to tell that I had to compensate to keep the ball in play. But minor criticism - looooooove it.
Such a beautiful, vivid, surprising, relaxing piece of art. +100 points for the atmosphere.
I dunno why folks said this was relaxing, I kept falling off and so things got more tense the higher I got, though it was fun to play and the sounds were cool. I don't understand the color coding on the tiles. Anyways great job!
Graphically and acoustically beautiful! One of the best entries I've played so far. My only complaint is that the controls are a bit unresponsive.
Very fun. Great job!
Great entry, feels polished on so many levels!
TinyGolem -> For me it's a stress game ... when you fall near the end you're so afraid to fail again :p
But game good. The sound for the bonus scare me :p
Simple but very polished game. Good idea!
One of the best games of the compo so far :D
Let me see... is there something I didn't like? Maybe the font, that's it.
Congratulations!
One of my LD favorites. love this game :D
Very nice game, very relaxing, very entertaining, not funny but brilliant sound and brilliant graphics. good job.
Was strugling with controls, but I finally did it. Interesting idea.
Very fun for a simple concept. :)
Awesome game. Gameplay was fun and difficult enough to stay interesting on the way to the top. The audiovisual stuff gave it a nice, relaxing mood.
Simple and relaxing... It's amazing!
This game represents the theme well. Awesome use of the soundeffects, and the simple gameObjects. Very solid feel.
I have no critics of this game at all, it really is a brilliant piece of work. Damn beautiful work at that.
Very chilled out. The sound effects and ambient pads are great.
Fantastic game! I enjoyed a lot. You've reached an interesting curve of challenging. Congratz!
Love this. Good idea, beautifully executed. Will definitely play again!
Great game, congrats!
Great game. Took a very long time for me to get to the ending, like 10 tries. Worth it.
Very nice little game. Great job with the camera!
Fantastic game!! Congratulations :)
The most complete game i ever seen so far, nice sounds, great aesthetic, fits the theme, simple gameplay and good difficulty curve. Great job!
The sounds and the graphisms create a very enjoyable ambiance, this game is really relaxing!
Great sound, and the work is impressiv for a jam, I don't understand the need of 3D.
a very nice game
Fun, good looking & sounding, relaxing. That's a great mix you got here! Loving it.
I liked the special effects sounds :) Also the graphics were very calm which went to my good books :)
This entry has the best audio of any I've played. Extremely well done, first LD or no. And the grand prize is perfect.
nice and calming.. good job :)
One of the best this LD. Awesome :)
Wow really nice game. A little slow perhaps, but otherwise it was excellent in every aspect.
Nice audio! Really works with the gameplay really well. Thought it was a little easy. Could use some more challenge at the end.
Bah! Surprise potato!
Great game :)
relaxing, not my king of game but i liked it D:
oh man i almost cried when i died before making it to the top -- could not stop playing it -- great game!
this game is great
Aiming the spotlight and listening to the metallic bounce entranced me. The bounces forgave my inaccuracies and tend to go up. The subtle palette calmed me. If you continue to develop this, after reaching and falling from a high distance I was not motivated to repeat those platforms.
Perfect game.
XD that end! I was like: "What the hell!?" and then "Oh Ok! ROLFMAO"
Really nice game that fits the theme quite well. Loved how the ball makes musical notes on every bounce.
Very relaxing yet fun and challenging. It`s good that you make me able to return to earlier levels, it saved me several times :).
Oh... I just stopped bouncing, and you sent me back to level 1. That wasn`t very nice. I could roll to previous level and regain the movement.
And I understood what do level names mean. But not the title of the game...
Nice idea but restarting from the bottom after each mistake is just too punishing!
This is cool, but as in so many games in this LD, I have no idea what I am doing... :)
