Nice concept. It's rare to see a gameplay around a sphere, mario galaxy style. It's was fun, the 16 dust level was kinda hard but I made it ;) Good work !

kristinnes 2013-08-26 12:28

Strange game but fun :) I feel sticky after playing it for some reason

alwaysinbeta 2013-08-26 12:45

Fun game. Love the crazy look of it. Found the controls very hard to master in terms of aligning with the dust.

xera 2013-08-26 13:22

Nice gameplay and crazy graphics. Controls were a bit difficult to master. Quite fun!

zephyr89 2013-08-26 13:23

All hail the master of polar geometry!

I like this game, but its far too difficult for me. I played it for about 10 minutes (had school today and still have to do the homework:)). I'm not familar with unity so I don't know how difficult iit is to do such a game, but overall I like it because of the nice idea (as archaeometrican said).

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-26 13:32

So I instinctively blew past the targets and circled the entire planetoid :P

Nice game! Love the orbital movement

mekuri 2013-08-26 13:36

Nice game. The controls feels a bit sensitive, but apart from that it was fun playing.

I don't know if the game crashed or if it was intended, but after beating a level with 11 dusts, I got all the dusts, but the time ran out at the same time, which caused the game to just do nothing.

xgor 2013-08-26 13:51

@Mekuri Must have been a crash. When I lost and then got it after I just got send back to the start of the level.

diogomuller 2013-08-26 14:01

I liked the voices, and the game is fun. The spheric maps reminded me of Mario Galaxy, great thing. :)

snail_man 2013-08-26 15:15

Quite a fun game, although the controls felt loose at times.

thehobbit9797 2013-08-26 15:17

It was kinda hard but not unsolveable ;)

plancien 2013-08-26 15:19

For me the difficulty curve is too high.
But concept is clever / crazy and graphics are nice

carlsommer 2013-08-26 15:25

Quite a bit of fun and the audio and color schemes created the perfect mood. I loved being asked if I was ready : ) Working around the sphere is fun, perhaps it would be better if you could pick up the dust if any part of your player runs over it, rather than only when the hammer touches the dust.

tipyx 2013-08-26 19:47

Goooo ! X)

chronusz 2013-08-26 19:49

I'm apparently really bad at this, as I couldn't even get past the third level. It's quite fun, though, and very humourous. The voice work is annoying in a good way :)

grayhaze 2013-08-26 19:50

A good concept - close to what I originally attempted and failed! I thought the sound effects were fun, but the psychedelic graphics made it difficult to spot the dust after a while. I enjoyed it!

blupsy 2013-08-26 19:57

The input was a bit spotty for me at times, but that could just be my machine. Otherwise it was pretty fun! I liked graphical style particularly.

ratalaika 2013-08-26 20:11

I like the idea, nice work!! But it's a little bit hard to complete the levels hehe

pereubu 2013-08-26 21:01

oh my god these textures irritate my eyes, and the audio is sooooo cooool

teddy 2013-08-26 21:01

very nice! I love playing on spheres. music is good, art has a strong direction. great stuff

martin_monosys 2013-08-26 21:02

Ha! Crazy and colorful, how do you come up with something like that ?!? :)
Not bad!

bytegrove 2013-08-26 22:28

Heh, what a cute and odd little game. :) Really cool that you implemented spherical worlds, it makes the game a little more challenging. I'm not so fond of the stripes and the colour scheme used though. I got nauseous pretty quick. Maybe consider using softer pastel colours and smoother transitions between them?
Nice work on the music though! And sweet that you added voice overs.

william_edwards 2013-08-27 09:43

Lovely graphics :) Pleasingly circus-feeling.

xaychru04 2013-08-27 10:31

Pretty addictive game, I like the sound effects and the crazy graphic style. It's a bit hard sometimes to control the player, I can't pass the 16 dust level...
Good job! :)

octopuns 2013-08-27 11:01

I had to pause the game instantly to rate you 5 stars for audio. Really cool game. Love the concept and the visuals/audio.

frogcheese 2013-08-27 11:25

Okay, this game was kinda ...weird. A bit hard to control, but a neat idea and I had fun with it. Pretty polished for something made in two days, almost as polished as those candies were after I was done with 'em ;)

magicdweedoo 2013-08-27 13:54

pretty fun game, looks cool too

lcass 2013-08-27 14:23

Graphics are neat gameplay is fun.

justi 2013-08-27 14:30

Nice music effects and idea with movement on sphere :) This vacuum machine(?) is funny :)

flamecow 2013-08-27 15:55

What a weird game! Regardless of how unusual it is, it's pretty entertaining. Nice job!

thriek 2013-08-27 18:23

Best thing for me was that voice... ARE YOU READY?!

oana 2013-08-27 18:49

I guess this is what a Roomba feels like... I really like the concept, and the voice is indeed really cute. I also really really love that when you die, you restart from the same level rather than the whole game (as many other level-based games here tend to force you to). Nice job!

klianc09 2013-08-27 20:27

I hate it when games force me to wait 4 seconds after every retry.

But it was a lot of fun, playing a rumba ... with a broom ... clearing dust ... on a sphere. :)

aquilicoco 2013-08-27 20:45

Good work!

awppy 2013-08-27 21:50

Ah, final level was tough. I had to start in reverse to get through it. Wasn't until the level prior that I realized I was a vacuum cleaner vacuuming literal piles of dust. Vocal levels were a bit low but other than that it was a very solid entry!

grooveman 2013-08-27 22:24

The visuals were some great eye candy (har har) but now I feel incredibly dizzy. In a good way, maybe.

namrog84 2013-08-27 23:57

beat the last level with .04 seconds left!

amusing, I loved the voice over!

vile-smile 2013-08-28 01:24

Cool idea. The music was OK, but the graphics were nice and the idea is quite good.

reaperguy 2013-08-28 08:24

Controls are a bit too sensitive making it hard to play... otherwise very nice!

truiton 2013-08-28 12:29

That's what happen when you're coding under LSD. :))
Joke aside, fun little game :D

zeppelincaptain 2013-08-28 14:40

I like the idea, but it got very frustrating because of the high speed and the way it swung from side to side, making you miss stuff at random.

The countdown was awesome though.

zlowrance 2013-08-28 15:15

Fun game. Looks great and the mechanics are solid

boneloaf 2013-08-28 19:44

Fun game, we made it to the 16 dust pile level and had to stop playing due to overstimulation.

nerlin 2013-08-30 02:11

Interesting and fun)

mventurelli 2013-08-30 12:50

Haha this is awesome, love your "Are you ready"

finnegan2100 2013-08-30 17:57

Aw, this was soooo much fun! Nice, fast + smooth gameplay. Weird psychadelic graphics were appealing.

p4nurge 2013-08-30 20:13

Loved the Mickey Mouse style voiceover and the candy factory vibe. The gameplay was tricky in the later stages but the controls were smooth and intuitive. A little more variety would have gone a long way but I did enjoy playing this.

solifuge 2013-08-31 07:15

That voice will give me nightmares.

zap 2013-09-03 13:21

Bizarre idea that I'm not too keen on. I didn't find the character very appealing. The controls are a bit too sensitive and make me a bit motion-sickness-y.
The voice was my favourite element, and added a lot of character to the game.

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-11 01:57

Found this game really funny/bizarre. Great job! I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/jm5J5gdV81o
