Fun game - reminds me of Osmos. Quite beautiful graphics with a very cool physics engine. Well done!
Cool that you made the font, bit shame that I had a hard time reading it! I love the way you framed your failings with the game as the premise of it, so much more better and satisfying than giving up! You rock man! :D
I found the font hard to read. It took a bit, but I finally got the hang of flying around.
Wonderfully original idea, but kind of hard to control!
Actually managed to beat it! Pretty hard to actually hit things, but it was fun to play around for a bit. It has been said a lot, but the font wasn't very pleasant to read. Luckily it doesn't matter for the actual game ^^
Wait what... you did multiple themes? :o
I couldn't figure out what to do first, until I realized I have to collect those things and not dodge them. From there it was easy as all balls were already floating towards me.
Good idea, love the way it starts growing, would have liked to start a bit more bigger and the text to be legible.
it ran but the screen was blank except for sound and the framerate. I'm on win7. i really wanted to play this ;-; <3
Very very tricky to control and hit the smaller objects. But after a few hits it became easier. As someone said here, it reminds me of Osmos as well, but a quicker version of it.
I'm just getting a black screen that shows the framerate :(
I like the art style a lot, including the totally unreadable font. It really fits the hardcore, minimalist gameplay. :)
Thank you all for your comments and feedback :) Very appreciated!
I'll try to make the font more readable and indeed it looks a bit too much like osmos; I had the Idea, sounded very original and after a while I started feeling like it had too much in common with things like osmos, katamari damacy and snake :P A bit of a Jamais Vu, but it was too late to change my idea then.
cbear, mushroomsound... you guys are on what operative system? is it 32 or 64? Looks like I need do do some more checking on the ports :S (I'm working on OSX and just have bootcamp for checking... I guess processing.org is just not really fit for this kind of thing)
Tricky, though I eventually won. Huge positive feedback loop. Very sensitive to initial conditions.
Good game, reminds me of Osmos
Nice concept, controls are a bit fidgety!
Controls are a bit screwed but I like the idea. Good job!
Very tough to control, but I love how the physics end up moving around in a mesmerizing way
Really neat concept, and love the pixely graphics. Quite challenging too. Reminded me a little bit of Eliss.
It doesn't work on Linux 64 bits, it's looking for the file lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar whereas you only bundled lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-i586.jar.
Brilliant concept
Again, thanks for the feedback :). I've been thinking about the controls... I must say I like them the way they are, but if most people hates them I must pay attention... maybe if it was controlled using the mouse it would make things different. Must check that out but I don't wanna lose the feeling of the forces pulling you and you having to be careful fighting them. Also, just added a linux 64 version which hopefully works.
The font was hard to read, and it was a little hard to control, but great idea :D
Well done. Really enjoyed this one.
I like the concept and minimal graphics! Everything hinges on how you play in the early stages in this game.
Bug: Final score continue to change each 10 sec after you win.
lol, just noticed that this http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=1381 entry from the previous ld, was a lot like this.
Nice game.
It wasn't as uncontrollable as I thought it would be... it the controls were great, actually. (with lots of inertial, but, hey, you warned about that)
