Adorable control mechanics!

A lot of fun, very hectic. I think a visual indicator on which point was going to move next would clear up a lot of confusion. I really enjoyed the music.

This game got me motion sick after about a minute even though I never get motion sick playing games, but besides that it's a really cool and refreshing game. Love the control mechanics, but I think it'd be nice to have a version where the screen is fixed as well because it's a shame that some people can't experience the game.

Man the warning at the beginning was not kidding.

cagedrat 2013-04-29 06:26

Love the inertia of the balls hitting the sides combined with the sound.

Great example of indirect control =), and also a great example of how to make people motion sick.. =)

Wow. This is really cool. I did get motion sick after a short time, though.

Great mood. I feel like the game could benefit from some more eneimes? also, it's hard to read my score with the camera going nuts.

Love the controls, though. I see potential in this as a learning tool

interesting! high marks on the innovation!

"In game, just left-click and you'll know what to do."

Um, no, not really. It's possible to figure it out, but it's certainly not obvious.

cory-leach 2013-04-29 07:17

OH wow I understand now why that came with a warning! Good job though.

A nice exercise for the eye muscles :)
Awesome!

Wow! It DID make me dizzy. Having a bit of trouble typing this, actually. *blink* So, it's a fun game but a little hard to play. Great job finishing this up in 48 hours!

Definitely interesting gameplay! It does get repetitive after a while however. I like the wall slam effects. I really wanted to get out of the rectangle and explore at first, which just killed me :). I love the easter egg story.

shaircast 2013-04-29 07:44

Make red circle to get checked one in the menu screen. You'll find a little story about this game. Good luck!

lpcustom 2013-04-29 08:10

My head hurts! However, this is a very fun game.

rujomarco 2013-04-29 09:34

coool mechanics!! but the camera movement is to strong for me.. a version with a fixed camera would be perfect

spelchan 2013-04-29 15:48

Interesting game. Fun but it gave me a bit of a headache.

saggiosoft 2013-04-29 16:23

Great! Construct 2 like me... Congratulations, good graphics, sound and game.

gre 2013-04-30 13:14

nice one

ithildin 2013-05-01 18:03

Great game overall (cool music and brilliant idea), but I think it could have worked just as fine by slowing it just a bit. I never get sick playing (so I tried despite the warning), and at times I had to look away.

Also, some variety would have been the icing on the cake. At some point you don't need to care too much about careful clicking.

daniel2357 2013-05-04 07:08

Very nice game =- because of the lack of instructions it made the game even nicer and funnier . Overall- Liked it very much.

smilingcat 2013-05-06 22:59

I have never been motion sick before in my life, until now.

I did think it was a really interesting game mechanic. I'd play this more if the screen didn't move around so much.

stmatn 2013-05-13 20:04

Very cool steering mechanic! The fast moving screen made it a bit hard to control, though. When the ball gaind enormous momentum, it was pure luck, where it would land. The music was really cool. Good job!

arrogant-gamer 2013-05-16 05:48

The story was maybe a bad idea... but seriously dude this game is awesome! The screen shaking made the game transcended a normal level of cool into something amazing. The game itself is super simple, but really satisfying. I am totally happy to have stumbled across your entry.

lu3mm3l 2013-05-16 15:01

I don't feel that good right now, but congrats on your entry!

misfit 2013-05-16 20:47

Yeah, It's dizzy feeling now.. but... nice.. game..
