Quite hard (or maybe I'm just bad), but cool game otehrwise

Very nice idea! I like how the timer doesn't start until you start moving very much. Gets pretty difficult though.

Fun and challenging. I think the difficulty ramps up way too fast though. I also like the line-trail effect when you move, it feels nice and helps your eyes track your location.

Stuck at level 7, it's really confusing to me. The use of Adrenaline Rush is needed for this one. It took me some time to know how to finish the level :D ... Good game.

Thanks all for playing. Seeing the comments about difficulty, I tried with a handicap (only one left finger) and I noticed that I let an arbitrary 13 seconds limit (sorry to brag but 13 is still enough for me, but hey I made the game). So, I removed that line, in case people struggle too much with the time.

Unless the difficulty comes from the puzzles? In which case, sorry, that part is by design, because it's a game with a very limited number of useful moves, even if they are not always obvious, so I think the solution must be well hidden. Also, my goal was to allow the small number of levels to still offer a good challenge.

Fun game, felt the difficulty was just about right for a LD game. Great work on the level design (both the actual puzzles and the variety.)

I love how we have to think thoroughly before making the first move. Gets challenging at later levels (well, honestly, some are too hard for me...)

jammy12789 2013-08-27 07:33

Fun game. But I Level 3 I found q

jammy12789 2013-08-27 07:36

OOPS My comment Kinda glitched, what I was saying was that I really enjoyed the game but at level 3 you do not really have enough to do it. But Great Idea love it. -James ;)

I like these kinds of puzzle games and this one is quite polished! The timer made it too difficult for me though. But thats a minor thing to change for an after comp version maybe? ;)

wally2069 2013-08-28 15:58

The gameplay was a bit too fast paced for my tastes

jimanzium 2013-08-28 16:03

Nice level design, that's the hardest thing about making puzzlers. Good job, games pretty fun

lazyeels 2013-08-28 16:06

Wow, peewwww... I'm sooo fast! Cool puzzle-like game, love the feeling of speed in this game and the graphics!

Really fun game and concept. I think it's another game I've played where the 10 second theme has kind of made it less fun than it might be than say, if the theme had been '20 seconds' :) But easy to fix in a post-compo version!

Nice

ezolotko 2013-08-29 13:49

This is a solid puzzle game, good job! I hope you will continue your work on this.

brobutter 2013-08-30 01:14

Fun, but for me it was too hard.

muciojadpl 2013-08-30 18:28

Woow,game with one of the best ideas whose I played for this moment. Really good.

xaizil 2013-08-30 21:08

Tricky but fun!

teamamazething 2013-08-31 21:14

Very intuitive game mechanic and controls, and the extra elements in each level make the learning curve go up nicely.

laelien 2013-08-31 21:24

Now THAT was challenging. Yet fun and addictive. The puzzles really look like you've given them a lot of though. Good job !

haloflooder 2013-08-31 21:27

This was actually pretty fun. Even though the puzzle idea is very basic but it makes it challenging that there is a timer. unlike other common puzzle games. I can see this game taking off on the iOS/Android market.

van-noctar 2013-09-08 12:10

Very good puzzle game!

exergy 2013-09-08 14:12

Good puzzler!

_alts 2013-09-09 07:28

This was really cool. I was only able to make it 9 levels. The puzzle design in particular is nice. There are a lot of different mechanics thrown into the blocks, though, and I wonder if there are more areas to explore for each block type before mixing them up. I feel like this could be easily expanded into a much larger game. I hope you do. Nice work.

michail 2013-09-09 14:07

Cool concept and very well-thought mechanics, but it is really hard. I only managed to get to the 9 (or maybe 10) level.

ghribacki 2013-09-11 22:48

Very cool puzzle game! I like how even with the extra time to work out the solution, it still very challenging. Got stuck at level 7, will try again later. =)

vile-smile 2013-09-13 00:08

Wow! The graphics are nice and the sounds are good. I reall like the line that trails behind the player. The gameplay is really great. Each level was very challenging and had me in that 'just one more level' kind of state. Very nice!

sestren 2013-09-15 08:28

I love fast-paced puzzle games like this. I've seen similar mechanics to this before, but never on such a strict time limit, and that makes a big difference in the fun and challenge of it all. Great game!
