Its good, but soooooo difficult! couldnt get past the triangle and I kept on rolling back to a line :S

brant 2013-04-29 12:31

Curti. Principalmente a música! Só ficou meio difícil de ver se vinha triangulo ou traço e por onde, as vezes precisa de um pouco de sorte. Valeu!

tiago-ling 2013-04-29 12:34

Very innovative gameplay, also, very nice music. Congrats!

ttakamoto 2013-04-29 14:38

Really great game. Your strong point was definitely innovation. Very nice music and really hard. Congratz.

rafaelsales 2013-04-29 16:05

Thanks dudes! The game is really hard, but after some minutes you realize tricks to evolve your polygon. In fact, the Pentagon level is insane! :)

igrowbeards 2013-04-29 18:04

This is an awesome idea and well implemented but sooooooo hard. It totally rocked the theme :) Definitely one of the better entries i've played! The only nitpick i have is that the music, while catchy, didn't seem to fit with the graphics or gameplay to me. Overall it's an outstanding game though - nice work!

chman 2013-04-29 18:04

Hard game, but interesting concept. Cool music too.

bradleysmith 2013-04-29 18:06

Neat idea.

apenasisso 2013-04-29 18:09

Very fun to play, but a little bit hard. Probably the most challenging entry I played so far. Nice work!

fuzzywuzzie 2013-04-29 18:17

Very unique and fun! Couldn't get past the triangle though :(

luizhgmonclar 2013-04-29 20:15

Really really cool, had fun, could get to Square so far. I'll try to finish it later (is there an end?).

I really like that the game is really freaking hard, and I think you can explore it really well in a Super hexagon-esque kind of way.

I really liked the song, but I don't know if it fits.

Great exploration of theme. Congrats.

tonic 2013-04-29 20:36

It's very very hard! Even after reading help and thinking I got it, I couldn't get to better shapes. Interesting & minimalist concept!

norritt42 2013-04-29 20:37

Good feel I like It a lot but it's hard in a good way. No wtf loses.

mysterarts 2013-04-29 20:42

Well done: completely minimalist, but original and... it works!
Couldn't get past the triangle too :p

iamorim 2013-04-29 20:51

Man, this is good! :)
It looks easy but then you realize how hard it is. You have to pay attention all the time. Realy nice!

And thanks for the comment!! :)

rafaelsales 2013-04-29 20:59

Thanks everyone for the comments! I really enjoyed to make this game and maybe I'll keep working on it :)

galvesmash 2013-04-29 21:13

Great idea! But too difficult!

split82 2013-04-29 21:58

Excelent audio!

alanbazan 2013-04-29 23:39

Very nice/hard game!

tiagoair 2013-04-30 02:53

Nice game and hard game!

santovirus 2013-04-30 02:55

Great, but hard and I enjoyed, but the music stopped =/

psenfilip 2013-04-30 05:56

The music and sounds fit the concept very well. It is rather catchy to keep on toggling to collect/avoid stuff. Challenging game!

fabricio-brito 2013-04-30 11:24

Wow, really nice concept! Great game and well fit to the theme!
I guess the level difficulties are scalating really quickly, though. I missed some sort of health to check the progression to switch geometric forms.
Really cool and well ambiented music. Congratulations! 5 star overrall for me! ;)

rafaelsales 2013-04-30 14:36

Thanks dudes!

foxtacy 2013-04-30 18:29

Your idea is great! Congratulations!

saintheiser 2013-05-02 06:48

Concept is great but game is buggy. Collision detection is inadequate...
Good game, anyway :^)

georgebroussard 2013-05-02 07:14

Great music. good mechanic. You're right, you better read the instructions :) I found it very hard because the pieces move too fast? Every time I leveled up I lost that level a few times before maintaining it. Made it to square and stopped.

rafaelsales 2013-05-02 13:34

@SaintHeiser: I agree with you about the collision. It's sth that I'll improve asap.

@GeorgeBroussard: My objective was create a really hard game, but now I know that game needs adjustments in progress to improve the experience.

qaterknan 2013-05-02 19:36

Interesting concept, a bit hard but fun. Fits the theme perfectly

martijn 2013-05-02 19:36

Great idea, but difficult to get the hang of.

bumpkinrich 2013-05-02 19:39

Wow. This is hard. Enjoyable though. Nice atmosphere created.

thijsku 2013-05-02 19:47

I love the (simple) concept! Graphics are also very nice. It can be a bit hard, but that's part of the challenge!

Good job :)

qaterknan 2013-05-02 19:59

Beautiful graphics, innovative, fits the theme, nice audio and even fun. But it was quite difficult ;)

granada 2013-05-02 20:34

Nice game! Really hard to beat. Good job!

m0n0quartz 2013-05-02 21:13

Neat graphics, hard game...
Good Job! :)

the-jack 2013-05-02 21:15

Very unique experience, excellent design. Would like to see this concept expanded.

tyro 2013-05-03 02:10

This was fun enough as just a line, but the evolving aspect made it even better. I kind of wish you had a healthbar instead of a timer though, so that skilled players could theoretically keep on playing forever. That's just a minor thing though that didn't really subtract from the experience.

Marvelously crafted game right here, folks. Give it a whirl.

fullmontis 2013-05-03 08:46

It's actually more fun than it looks! Gameplay is basic but solid.

eggdestroyer 2013-05-03 13:25

The dots hitboxes could be bigger and/or the rotation speed could be faster: it would decrease the difficulty a bit, and the frustration of not being able to catch a figure because you can't turn fast enough, but without reducing the fun. Right now, I was kinda frustrated.

But that's balance and tweaking, almost nitpicking for a 48h entry. Apart from that, that's one of the best entries I've played so far. Especially, I can't believe you managed to create such a catchy and fitting tune in so little time without cutting other things. Your concept is elegant, original and well made, and you used the theme almost magically. Congratulations.

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 14:24

Thanks dudes! I am really happy with the feedbacks and I am thinking to keep working on it to launch for mobile and web!

shawn42 2013-05-03 18:01

Very nice. Hard, but very fun.

ashdnazg 2013-05-03 18:13

A very cool concept!

goerp 2013-05-03 19:43

One of the best entries for me so far, just because so many things about it were right:
The jazzy music, the minimal but nice graphics, the originality,
All in all a great package.

netmute 2013-05-03 19:56

Very unique gameplay, nice art style and superb music. Congratulations ;)

wine 2013-05-03 20:03

wow, very simple and fun!
everything is just a theme
Good work!

sonnybone 2013-05-03 20:47

Full marks for innovation and theme! Great idea that could use some balancing, but you have a really neat concept that I can see becoming very successful with the right additions. Maybe some kind of indicator for what is about to appear... like a brief flash in the area that the object is either going to start or end up. And maybe timing based spawning with the music to get the player into a rhythm of being able to spin the shape and turn on/off the outline for bouncing or capturing. Again, great innovation! Good job!

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 20:51

Thanks for the feedbacks!!!

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 20:57

I agree with your comments SonnyBone. Thanks!

ithildin 2013-05-03 23:02

Brilliant idea! It certainly puts your reflexes to test :D

sudorossy 2013-05-04 00:56

Wow. So difficult, but so fun.

kgs0142 2013-05-04 03:59

I got 6 points!!lol.
Simple yet brilliant!
I like the music, it's really awesome!
Good job :p

kefir 2013-05-04 12:11

Really hard! I maked a triangle once. But only once. But concept is really interesting!

yakka 2013-05-04 12:50

I needed time to understand. The game is hard but good :)

tifu 2013-05-04 14:19

Woah this is tough, I can get to the square, but just barely. Would enjoy playing for longer than the time limit allowed. Good use of the theme. Fun stuff!

madball 2013-05-04 14:24

The difficulty is insane, it's really hard to kill the right shapes. Got the pentagon, but was loosing it constantly. I liked the simplistic approach.

flai 2013-05-04 14:36

Pretty hard but still good :)

rodrigomotta 2013-05-04 14:59

Rafael, this is an amazing game. Congrats. Its very addicted. I think you my evolve the concept. Again, congrats bro. Please play and rate my game. ;)

sylvain-p 2013-05-04 16:56

Great design (destruction effect for example), the level time is a bit long.

prelucid 2013-05-04 18:44

Interesting game. I thought it was too easy at first. Then it got harder.

pabloalexandre31 2013-05-04 20:08

Nice idea!

tozy 2013-05-04 20:51

Too difficult, but still beautiful and innovative, it just needs a little tweaking ;D Maybe with a slower speed would be enough.

floko 2013-05-07 13:25

very nice!

I don't usually look into instructions, so it took me a while to realize that spacebar did anything else (lol)

nice use of the theme and nice mechanics! Its a pretty fun game =]

kgs0142 2013-05-10 04:55

Interesting idea!
I like the music, great work!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-12 04:42

Great use of the theme and while it was challenging, I gotta score you high on innovation because of the concept.

kitch 2013-05-15 03:29

took me to a while to get the hang of it... but once I did, had a blast. it's a real think fast game and i love that. good job!

komradus 2013-05-18 07:34

Very challenging, but fun.

csanyk 2013-05-18 22:15

Great concept! Would have liked to collect fewer shapes to evolve, but it was very fun.
