I REALLY enjoyed this game! very nice mechanics, a little bit hard in the first time but by playing more you get the hang of it, great game!

So I got completely surrounded by shapes. I felt very loved, but I don't think I could get out. Nice job guys!

Took me a while to figure out what to do and what the shapes did. After I got the hang of it, it was pretty interesting. Although sometimes I got stuck inside the shape I was forming. Good job.

On later levels that have lots of shapes in it, it's really easy to get surrounded by them, and hence unable to reach the exit, but other than that I really enjoyed your game! :)

Neigh, the pentagons are actually there to make you feel loved. They're called Huggers inside the code.

We would have liked to calibrate the difficulty and learning curve better but we ran out of time.

Very nice, good music, but pushing the things can get a bit tedious as the movement is a bit slow. Also I got stuck inside a blob and there was no way to free myself from it.
There's a problem with the mouse wheel (under Linux), rolling it makes the level *very* small really quick and there's no way to get it back.

Pretty cool, I liked how I could use the attached shapes as a shield against the evil triangles.

Katamari + Mondrian = Awesome!

I had a pretty sweet time playing this, nice work :)

Damned triangles :)
Nice game - simple and fun!

Nice physic game. The game have a good style, the intro and level zoom transition is nice. The problem is the informations on screens, they're big, make the game read difficult and ruins the mood. Not knowing which block type is left is fine, and even the energy could be represented by something more simple like ship color or red flash when under 20%. This graphics style work best with minimalist interface. Another problem is the fact that you can be stuck into the square. I died most of the time of this rather than 0 life, and I was pretty surprised the first time I saw the gameover screen on my 4th play :) I dont have a good solution for this maybe allowing random teleport on one key, but it could b use to avoid red triangle. Not if it cost life. Yeah some kind of self blast costing energy would avoid the player to be stuck without ruining the gamebalance.

First time I collected all the objects on level 1...was having fun steering. Web (Chrome) version working well. Would be nice to have mouse captured in window. Maybe need some simpler levels at start to get hooked.

Wow! Great game :D

taylorlunt 2013-04-30 21:59

Amazing game.

revelorenfield 2013-05-01 09:41

Funny game and nice music :)

sirdorius 2013-05-01 10:44

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Benjamin, I agree that the interface is very bad, it's because we didn't have time left to work on it. We are working on a postludum version where we'll solve this, and the other common problems like getting stuck and the steep learning curve.

diventurer 2013-05-01 11:22

Ahh, the music is so awesome!!
The game was fun to play, but eventually I got cornered by tons of red triangles...and that was the end of it. xD

capro 2013-05-01 12:33

Absolutely fun and clever game.

saggiosoft 2013-05-01 19:02

Once you understand, it's a really good game, well designed, with great graphics.

patrickward 2013-05-01 20:21

I wasn't sure what to do at first, but after I re-read the instructions I got it! Fun game! Lovely graphics and the music fit the mood perfectly. Good job.

atraxgames 2013-05-02 09:39

This is really fun and addictive!

dsoft20 2013-05-04 08:40

Nice entry, I like how different shapes have different behaviors :D

ray_mickelino 2013-05-05 23:12

Awesome. I really liked this game. Good work, my friend!

michail 2013-05-06 00:16

Awesome music and overall good game.

joe40001 2013-05-09 06:22

Cool idea, nice music/look, sometimes though the player or the goal can get stuck in the center of the blob not sure if that's intentional but during either of those I was unable to progress.

bobiniki 2013-05-09 20:38

I realy like how this game came out. Nice idea, althought I don't like how everyone uses this minimalistic thing with the rectangles and colors. However I somewhat liked it in your game. Some advices are to add anti-aliasing(in the unity quality settings if I remember correctly). Another small thing is you probably have to tweak the yellow circles a bit and not to runs so fast. Overall good game I really enjoyed it!

Neat little game with some really polished aesthetics. Playing it gives you a warm feeling from inside! :)
