Solid and simple but too little content to stay fun for some minutes.

Some notes:
- Too blurred
- Sound was too late
- Instructions not clear enough: "press any key" sounded like "press any key to start game". I failed twice before getting the controls.

Nice concept. I like it

Instructions always help - even if you don't have time to put them in your game, put them on your game submission.

It also seemed weird that I could die from bursting through walls that seem like they would have collision.

It's not obvious what you're supposed to do in the game. Took me a bit to figure it out.

Very simple, but perhaps too simple. An interesting idea though.

HINT: Use SPACE to keep the orb floating, try to make sure fairies don't crash into walls/obstacles.

Wow, this is incredibly hard! Some instructions would've helped! But the concept is really cool, and I like the swarm mechanic you've got going there!

Ooh, I like the mechanics of this game. A bit like herding cats. Points for originality.
the graphics were weird, as if I was watching a VCR recording of a computer game from the 80's (hang on: that must be it!)

I don't know why but I like it. It seems to be a little addictive. ;-)

I sucked really bad at playing this but I enjoyed the concept... good work. :)

Cute graphics and simple concept I liked it was really pixely cause of upscaling.

Great idea, but it is really hard! Some kind of a score would helped to motivate, as well as an indication of how long was left.

Graphics were a bit weird but this was a really cool twist on an avoidance game (I have no actual idea what they're really called). Pretty addictive too.

Good idea ;)

sebastian 2013-12-28 12:37

I like the idea, very tough!

hardgrafter 2014-01-01 21:36

Nice little game! Enjoyed it!

Interesting concept, although maybe the swarm swayed too much, I never made it further than a few seconds. Still, nice idea.

timothyolt 2014-01-06 15:58

Great concept, a bit hard to control though. The menu graphics could be a bit less blurred, but I liked how the blur worked on the level. Also making the goal of the game more obvious would not hurt.

The gameplay is kind of hard but is fun! i kind of don't like the bluri graphics but its ok, Great work! :D
