Great little challenge - it's like Superlinear Hexagon :) Reminds me of the good times trying to beat the flying level on Battletoads from Gameboy .. at some point your finger have to move faster than your brain. Nice touch with the play button tweening from the title screen to become the player.

def makes me think of super hexagon. i'm not super into the idea itself, but it works pretty well.

cogentinvalid 2013-04-30 00:53

Simple game, but it controls well and gets challenging fast.

Fun game. Simple and well-executed. Sound was a bit annoying, though.

Good smooth game and fun to play. I had to really focus to beat my own top scores.

Really really nice. Shame the positions don't randomise more, I could basically stay still till near the end!

@pansapiens & ella guro: I wasn't originally thinking about Super Hexagon when I came up with this simple idea, but I do see the similarity for sure. Super Rectagon? :)

@ataxkt yeah, I definitely agree that is probably one of the things that annoys me the most. I just didn't have time to address that unfortunately in the small window I had to make this game.

@others: thanks for playing and the feedback thus far!

Where are the leaderboards? Didn't find 'em. ;p

But pretty cool! :)

hybridmind 2013-04-30 15:17

@SuperlevelSebastian: The leaderboards are available via the little trophy icon in the bottom left of the main menu.

Very good work for such a time frame! Simple but fun

nolojen 2013-05-01 01:43

nice job, good sound and animation work

andrewshouldice 2013-05-01 01:46

This is a great example of how super simple graphics, if animated well, can look really sharp.

Nice little game! One suggestion, instead of making the bars going lower when the games gets faster, keep them up. It´s actually very easy to find a spot to stay when the bar are o close to the player

This game had me replaying a bunch, gameplay is perfect for the theme. I really liked the play button turning into the character.

zatyka 2013-05-02 16:24

Awesome use of the theme, and quite fun too. Keep up the good work!

Fun little game! It seems like you can get into one position though and pretty much just make minor movements to go on forever.

Simple but effective. Great sound effects and visuals.

jceipek 2013-05-03 01:00

Nice and simple gameplay that gets pretty tense. I wasn't very satisfied with the difficulty gradient, though -- the game seemed very slow initially and switched to being very difficult in an almost binary way.

killerstarbunny 2013-05-03 01:27

Loved the sounds really fun game.

switchbreak 2013-05-05 19:03

Nice work! It starts maybe a bit too slowly, but as it gets harder it's really fun.

milktoast 2013-05-07 15:27

The difficulty ramps up perfectly. Found myself grinning wider with delight with each successive round. Great job!

zappi 2013-05-07 16:06

3700! A perfect little game for several minutes, good job.

lasergans 2013-05-07 18:52

Is fun :) Although the simplicity it looks very good (like the animations). At the beginning its a bit boring.

mathio 2013-05-07 20:56

Doesn't get much more minimalist than this, nicely done!

Jeremias 2013-05-08 15:18

Good job in doing this. Your game creates a fantastic flow. Perhaps you should change the instant death to some kind of penalty (perhaps the game gets slower) to keep up the flow!

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 04:57

simple, but great challenging game, it's like a maniac shooter. Good work.
