I don't see a download link. Would love to play once one is posted, thanks!

nemec 2013-04-29 21:14

Link added, now all good!

Love the art, the music and the gameplay :) Fits perfect the theme. The levels are interesting and nice :)

zener 2013-04-30 11:15

I had fun, I like the art and the design/playbality. I miss a jump button :)

Some assets couldn't load: "NetworkError: 503 Service Unavailable - http://nviogames.hol.es/images/slazer-sheet0.png". You might want to check your server, or maybe it's a problem on my side.

didn't work the first few tries, I guess it's a problem with asset preloading. nice idea though.

Nice graphics!

Overall the game works fine, I only got a small glitch on lvl 4 (got stuck because I went too far on the right of the bottom-right button). Also, the location of the level end could be made more explicit I think. Otherwise I had fun playing this entry!

Nice game! The first time I played, the second level didnt load, I had to refresh the website

nemec 2013-04-30 11:34

Zener, ball can't jump.
Wan & Almudys, maybe you can sent me a screenshot? my e-mail:nemec1355@gmail.com

My ball got chopped by the lasers many times :) I found myself looking for the jump button all the time.
Well done!

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't jump, haha. Great game, nevertheless. A bit too slow for my taste, but still really polished and enjoyable. I would also enjoy being able to press any key to restart a level, without having to reach for the mouse. :D

jump would be nice. also the music is awfully looped. actually, it was little fun and a little too slow. But nice after all.

shines 2013-04-30 14:42

Really nicely done, not enough levels! =)

I would speed up the speed of those platforms, waiting for them is a little agonizing.

I love that font. And I don't mean that in a, like, I don't have anything else to compliment kind of way, I mean that I. LOVE. that font.

Gameplay is intuitive and relaxing (relaxing, thanks in part, to the music).

I would play more levels. Great work!

The no-jump mechanic is beautifully minimalist. The game offers interesting zen-like puzzles.

Excellent entry!

I encountered an interesting glitch after the first two levels, but didn't realize it was a glitch: Everything but the entities in the level disappeared (no background and no level itself), I assumed this was a play on minimalism and cheerfully went along with it until I got stuck on the fourth level. I went back to the comments to check if anyone else struggled on it and then realized it might have actually been unintended. After refreshing the page I could see the levels again. Interesting that a bug would add some extra hidden depth to the game..

I liked the sound and music, very relaxing and fitting with the rest of the game.

smilingcat 2013-04-30 14:52

Nice graphics and sound, well done.

naufr4g0 2013-04-30 15:03

Really good game. I Love art and music. Maybe the puzzles could have been a bit more difficult in the end. Anyway a very nice work!

yacodo 2013-04-30 16:27

Pretty good, but some bugs (collisions, "physics".).
Collision : at the level with the three moving platform (first laser) I'm stuck on a side of the third and have to wait a moment for the second to come back before I can finally move on the third.
Physics : can't get out of some moving platform "slot" (sorry not the right word, but think you know what I mean)

xaychru04 2013-05-01 09:59

I like this game! The graphics are cool, but the ball and the platforms are too slow...

levelbylevel 2013-05-01 10:20

I liked it, especially the unseen forces stuff, the reset on die does seem to take a while though.

loxo 2013-05-01 10:53

Interesting game. Fun to play, when it works properly. I tried it in up to date versions of Firefox and Chrome and had in both browsers problems, particularly with missing background and level elements. Reload seemed to help some times.

juaxix 2013-05-01 10:56

Are you sharing the Construct 2 project? I would like to see how are you checking the collisions, sometimes it collides when it shouldnt, but it is a good game, i have completed all the levels :)
Ah, when the ball is broken you have to remove user controls, there

nemec 2013-05-01 11:10

juaxix,unfortunately we can not do that, but we'll fix eventually

gre 2013-05-01 11:12

That's a nice platform game.

It need some polish like the physics doesn't feel naturally (maybe it need some inertia, relying on lib like box2d could be a good idea) and also found some bugs:
* you can get caught by the edges of the platform: http://i.imgur.com/lDLc4pL.png
* some issues to load some resource so the game can't display some graphics

robrock55 2013-05-03 12:30

Good levels, maybe the isn't enough levels. good graphism, good gameplay, it's a good game.

jellycakes 2013-05-04 13:43

Sweet. I really liked the relaxing music. Went well with the puzzle solving. The mechanics were simple to pick up without any explanation either. Good job!

nimblegorilla 2013-05-14 02:32

The graphics have a really neat style. So refreshing to see something that isn't pixel art!
