TUBULAR!

Fine game, not really my type but good nonetheless.

hella tight

Amazing =)

You know a game is going to be awesome when it comes with a seizure warning xD
Great job!

zanzindorf 2013-05-03 22:16

This is one of those games I could lose a fortune of quarters on. Nice job!

Good job, Nice atmosphere. The same feeling that f-zero or proun (in an other style). Maybe a bit too hard ( not enough progressiv for me)

Amazing game! Very fast and smooth, I love the music! It's pretty hard too, My best score is 30.000, I'll keep trying ;)

Nice game! Like the randomly alternating patterns. However, I would prefer if the difficulty was more progressive.

Really nice visual style,awesome music and extremely infectious gameplay.

Very nice and polished game, love the arcade touch. The soundtrack was epic and the visuals were stunning. One of my favorite arcade games, even though the controls are just a tiny bit too sensitive to my liking.

This was awesome, most fun LD game I've played yet!

This is a really good arcade game, and I totally get both F-Zero and (obviously) Super Hexagon. Some of the random waves are much harder than others, at least to me, so my progress was mostly based on which ones showed up. Also, I spent most of my time squinting at the center of the screen, wishing there was more detail there. But very polished and very fun. My high score was a measly 30372!

This had a great aesthetic, I really got into it! I love the fast-paced gameplay.

dbralir 2013-05-04 02:55

Very awesome, I love this kind of game. However, like Tom 7, I spent a lot of time squinting. Maybe you could apply a visual effect to make far objects look bigger. Other than that, incredible game. One of the best.

I found your game extremely addictive and fun, I would like the patterns to be generated in a way that can be trespassed, or at least, not that impossible to achieve XD,

merteor 2013-05-05 12:05

Thanks for the comments everyone!
I've decided to keep working on this game to make it bigger.

Tom 7 and DBRalir: I agree, I'll work on something to make them appear bigger at first than just a few pixels.

juaxix: I have tested EVERY pattern extensively, making sure that they're not randomly unpassable. No pattern is impossible, trust me, if you're quickly reacting to things spawning in the middle. At least not at speeds below 4-500. This guy even reached 800 speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQOzuvCLbiY

One of the best games I've played. Really well done.

granada 2013-05-05 19:56

The camera option is clogged with the high score and it's not possible to change it on restart (after choosing fluxed view). Nice audio and game speed. The player camera is much better than the fluxed one. Good job!

mesene 2013-05-05 22:30

crazy! I'll check OST because I'm so bad and die soon xD
Nice entry

fueelin 2013-05-06 22:38

Excellent game. Really fun to play. If the battery on my laptop wasn't about to die I'd still be playing!

broxter 2013-05-07 12:14

First of all, I love the music; it got me really pumped for this style of game. The way the player has to stare down the middle of the tube is cool and works really well, although it means it's almost impossible to look at any of the HUD elements, because they're so far from the centre of the screen. I like the variation in pattern styles and they're fun to negotiate, although some seem ridiculously hard and the progression doesn't feel very balanced from game to game.

dremelofdeath 2013-05-16 07:09

nicely done! I like that you've set up the gameplay and speed to make it unoptimal to look at obstacles as they approach your ship and it instead kinda forces you to look ahead

lu3mm3l 2013-05-16 15:11

Wow, now this is fun. One of my favorites this LD.

jacques_le_lezard 2013-05-16 20:54

I'm really a noob at that kind of game, but it was fun and clean(good mark for you ^^)

madball 2013-05-17 10:11

Music and sound effects were awesome, and the game is very addicting.
How did you make patterns, I wonder? Did you code them separately, or just made one function and it`s running it with different parameters?

tudd 2013-05-20 23:29

YES

My only problem is the colors clashed with each other too much
