Got bored after 70th sphere...

mactinite 2013-08-26 00:39

Interesting. I thought there might have been more depth to it after awhile like some vertical action. that would have been nice. Otherwise it was pleasing to look at and play for a little while :)

zer0xol 2013-08-26 00:46

feels like dancing

whydoidoit 2013-08-26 01:30

Great sound track and moody art :)

noom 2013-08-26 01:39

haha love the music, great job for a first soundtrack. I agree with the other comments, it was a bit of fun but some more depth would have been great. All in all though I thought this was a fantastic submission.

pyromatical 2013-08-26 01:41

Liked the soundtrack and the feel of the controls. Would be cool if each room was different, like having walls and things to jump on. Nice work ;)

shohs 2013-08-26 01:44

Not too bad! I agree with mactinite that it would be interesting to gradually add things to the chambers, but besides that, the art looked nice and the soundtrack was pretty good for this type of game.

jishenaz 2013-08-26 01:46

I love the graphics.

mrbenjaminbowman 2013-08-26 01:50

Looks AWESOME! Great dynamic effects also!

agumaster 2013-08-26 02:14

graphically impressive for a 48h game, but its a bit repetitive. The music is great!

douglasv 2013-08-26 02:48

Looks great but kinda repetitive

0xc0dec 2013-08-26 02:51

Different rooms is something which I had no time left for to implement =( Would really be cool to have that.

lcass 2013-08-26 03:14

it had a nice mood but its very repetitive.

forstride 2013-08-26 03:18

The visuals are nice, of course, but the gameplay itself isn't really that fun. There's nothing that makes me want to keep collecting the spheres when every room is the same (Or from what I played, at least).

Less repetition and more challenge would've been nice, basically.

tork 2013-08-26 03:19

29 spheres and 101 seconds later I can say that this is the best game I've played so far, only thing I would change (for the sake of it) would be the timer, I would stop in while entering a room and start it when touching the first sphere

jellyman64 2013-08-26 03:24

I liked the concept and all that but you didn't think about performance. I have a powerful computer and that game lagged me. Everything else was good other than that.

gravyhands 2013-08-26 04:20

Controls were fantastic! Very smooth, felt like gliding.
Also, graphics were very nicely done as well.
My only complaint was that it was too easy, I don't think I ever lost any health.

stevesalmond 2013-08-26 04:59

Loved the graphics and controls - the gliding feel is very pleasant!

feysoura 2013-08-26 05:05

Hum. Interesting. Got a lot of lag on my pc for some reason but I enjoyed it.

yozz 2013-08-26 06:25

A bit laggy in browser. It affects controls.

radjor 2013-08-26 07:05

I'm glad you were able to get sound in at all. A lot of games didn't have time for that. So nice job there. The game is pretty polished. The action wasn't that enjoyable because it was so limited. It would be cool if there were some variety.

nicotuason 2013-08-26 09:13

The game has a great look, but it was a bit difficult to control.

lars-faust 2013-08-26 09:20

Looks cool, is in general well designed, but i feel it lacks something.

Still, good job!

katamori 2013-08-26 09:32

My computer is too weak for this game. It runs with 15 FPS on these settings.

I got 9 spheres in 88 seconds anyway, to I'm trying to rate.


Overall: entertaining for a while, with good music and fancy graphics, but gameplay becomes exponentially boring. Definitely not a bad entry, but for me, it's far from the win. 3/5
Innovation: you collect balls in similar rooms. 1/5
Fun: you collect balls in similar rooms. 1/5
Theme: theme is obviously involved. 5/5
Graphics: shadows, particles, textures lighting, etc., a lot of fancy stuff, supported by Unity! 5/5
Audio: I have to agree that if this is your first music, then it's great! 4/5 because of the lack of other sounds, though. Fortunately, it doesn't really miss.
Humor: nothing to explain. 1/5
Mood: a bit dark. Almost nothing, but compared to game mechanics, there's a smaller miracle that it even has. 2/5

kevlanche 2013-08-26 10:12

I really like the look and feel of it. You probably already know about this, but I found a bug while playing; If you take a sphere and instantly run back to the previous room you will be trapped there. Then if you go back one more room you fall through the ground.

voltorben 2013-08-26 10:30

How are you supposed to start the game? What are the controls? Looks interesting, but when i launch the web app, i can't do anything.. (on mac 10.8.4 Chrome 29)

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 10:48

Nice game, there was one room where I didn't get any new spheres though and a lot of random lag spikes when the door was closing.

yaru 2013-08-26 11:22

Very cool, I love the art!

levsha128 2013-08-26 11:47

Nice :)

intripoon 2013-08-26 11:59

Is there a goal to achieve? I played it and thought: This is an endless loop. But it's called test chamber, so maybe I get tested if I can escape it. So I realized that the door I went through closes slowly. So I went through the next door, picked up one ball and went back to the previous room. When the door closed, first the shooting stopped and I thought - yeah that's it. And the the room got deallocated I guess, because I felt downwards seeing the other room from the outside. Then I thought: ok, that's not supposed to happen :D

octopuns 2013-08-26 12:24

Interesting idea. Movement feels great tool.

anton_d 2013-08-26 13:41

Good game, but you could easily hide in the entrance to avoid the meteors.

hypnohustla 2013-08-26 14:23

Great looking game. Got a bit boring kinda fast. Some variety would have been nice :)

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:58

Looks awesome, good audio, i love this game!

ihackeddeath 2013-08-26 15:27

Loved it!!!
Incredible, how far can you actually go
first shot made it to 610 seconds and collected 115 spheres
i might have added that the spheres may have added to a timer of something (not that i could do anything like this anyway), but i am amazed

ihackeddeath 2013-08-26 15:30

oh yeah sorry for repost but if this had coop then i would pay for a game like this,
i have a game similar to this sort of concept in mind to make but that's another topic,
great game again =D

kevinalbs 2013-08-26 15:56

Cool idea, the movement seemed a little too fast but overall good game.

gikdew 2013-08-26 16:40

I love the graphics and lighting of the game, really awesome and fun!

layl 2013-08-26 17:06

Very impressive

riley1219 2013-08-26 17:22

Not bad, not amazing though.

obscuremoon 2013-08-26 17:27

overall it's a fantastic game, best graphics and mood out of the other games I've played so far :D 5 stars!

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 18:07

Nice game, I like the graphics and particle effects, as well as the music, just would like a sound to indicate when you pickup a sphere, or when a meteor hits the ground. Overall very nice.

sebastian 2013-08-26 18:46

Lagged a bit which is strange since my computer isn't exactly low-end. Graphics are pleasant, but gameplay too repetitive to play for any length of time.

2013-08-26 18:58

It`s a pretty decent game, the music was actually nice. I would like to have a sound to indicate loss of health and perhaps when I pick up the sphere. Overall, I think the player walks way too fast and I also think it gets pretty boring pretty quickly. I also feel like it`s an obvious approach to the theme and that it could`ve been better developed on the game play.

g_o 2013-08-26 21:21

Don't know why: it just won't work, the input system just not working, everything seems to be ok just not responding (tried both web and windows, wierd)

zappi 2013-08-26 21:42

Nice graphics! Though it lags heavily in the browsed :(

flod 2013-08-26 21:45

Yeeha in a spee rush!
got 40 spheres - nice graphics - the music isn't that bad.

3ndo 2013-08-26 21:51

Great concept and execution. FPS controls felt solid (strange for Unity). Would have liked a twist or some variation to the later rooms.

split82 2013-08-26 21:59

Nice. Glad to see another 3D game like mine. Unfortunately my computer sucks so much this runs like 3 FPS :( Can't play it at all.

erkberg 2013-08-26 22:51

Nice game with really good graphics, could use a little more variety.

ahm99 2013-08-26 22:52

I really liked the graphics. Music wasn't too bad. Powerups would have been cool, but anyway, good job :)

psychomonster 2013-08-26 23:23

Disco feeling :D nice Idea but is there a goal or do i have to stay as long as i stay awake? ^^

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 00:40

This game looks really cool! but, is a little repaticious... I included it in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM

xgor 2013-08-27 18:31

Great visuals! The gameplay got boring fast though...

zerkruemler 2013-08-27 19:49

Fast collecting action. I got almost instantly motion sicness and had to stop

glockenspiel 2013-08-28 03:58

was really fun in the first 2 levels but then got boring and repetitive

ratalaika 2013-08-29 17:21

good job

kohijin 2013-08-29 21:32

Nice presentation, really liked the music! But it needs more variation.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-30 14:15

Solid idea! this could be easily extended. Nice work with the light

codexus 2013-09-01 11:00

Nice game. It would need just a bit more variety but it's pretty slick.

meta87 2013-09-03 05:35

love the graphics and music! you got a lot done, nice work

unept 2013-09-04 03:45

You did well with the graphics and sound and initial gameplay, but ya, got a little repetitive. Well done for 48h!

mollymus 2013-09-11 20:29

The visuals are very nice and smooth, but it lacks some gameplay! I had trouble getting hit by orbs even when I wanted to see what happend..

kristof 2013-09-12 16:19

I kind of liked the music. Also great visuals. The gameplay is a bit boring though.

daanvanyperen 2013-09-12 19:12

Music was very well done, thought the doors were bugged counting down twice. Very fluid controls.

infernet89 2013-09-12 22:01

I really liked the soundtrack! Unfortunately, the game is a little bit repetitive, need more mechanics..

minionstudios 2013-09-16 16:30

Fun and fast paced! Very simple idea, could be made into a much larger game easily

porglezomp 2013-09-16 23:36

It felt a bit laggy. I like the idea, but as it is it feels too simple, and somewhat luck-based. (I suppose I could've looked upwards more often, I dunno.)
