I really like the aesthetic.

joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-16 01:30

Nice idea :)

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 04:08

Ohh! So that's the famous game! :p
What did you use for the music? :D

mcapraro 2013-12-16 06:01

really well done! i could see this being a great mobile game

nickzangus 2013-12-16 12:21

Thank you all! Since I have no experience with music sequencers and the short time available, I decided to use a tool for automatic music generation (http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata). Fortunately, the result is perfectly suited for the game!

Initially, I have not thought of a game for smartphone, but the result seems made for a tablet!

Looks really polished and is fun to play. Grats!

tacospice 2013-12-16 13:05

Very nice graphical style. Interesting gameplay idea.
Definitely could work as a mobile game.

Music is so-so.

The look is clean and simple. I like that. I sometimes die out of the blue while there aren't any red cirlces to be seen near them. Highscore 981 :P This game has a lot potential!

kwl_tw 2013-12-16 14:11

cool! really fun!

adonaac 2013-12-16 19:53

I made a game with the same name that is also about circles and lines, somewhat... Anyway, really nice art style. The gameplay is kinda simple but with a few additions (if you want to continue it) it could become pretty interesting. Good job!

nicotuason 2013-12-17 03:36

Very well polished! Action gets fun and frantic!

nickzangus 2013-12-17 10:28

@adnzzzzZ I was stunned when I saw your game ... What an amazing coincidence!

ob6160 2013-12-17 16:09

That's actually much cooler than I had expected :) The music was great :D

venks 2013-12-17 16:09

Very creative. I haven't played many puzzlers like this, but this is definitely one of the better ones. Easy to pick up and play.

kumokairo 2013-12-17 16:10

Great concept) Really fun to play, and the music really suits well!

silentbunny 2013-12-17 16:10

nice aesthetic. like the idea of one common resource between all the globes too.

oli 2013-12-17 16:16

Nice game, good graphics and original gameplay

nusan 2013-12-17 23:04

I realy like the idea, and can find tactics to push all balls at the same time (triangle or line shapes). Music and art fit perfectly the game. I would like some way to recover a bit of health, by making contact with another ball type maybe.

saintheiser 2013-12-18 02:52

Very good, man.
Amazing with your mechanic. It very perspective for mobile devices.

fate 2013-12-18 09:28

Really cool original idea. The aesthetics were great. I agree with everyone else, this would make a great mobile game.

nelien 2013-12-18 22:25

Innovative concept, excellently executed and polished to a tee. Also, very addictive with a 'just one more try' feel to it -- sell it on mobile and you'll be a rich man/woman.

tomski 2013-12-18 22:30

Very crisp, as people have previously said, has the makings for a great mobile game. Great job ;)

toureiro 2013-12-18 23:48

Sounds a lot like stretching the theme. By the same logic almost all FPS could fit the theme because you only carry one gun at the time.
...
Having said that, I freaking love this game!
Really simple, highly engaging mechanic. And it looks and sounds really good!
Congrats!

toureiro 2013-12-18 23:58

You know... I wrote that last comment and shut my pc down for the day. as I did it I thought about your game again and realized I was totally wrong about it stretching the theme. It fits perfectly. haha. my bad.

juaxix 2013-12-19 14:16

Interesting concept, it could be a commercial game for the markets too

jgpicatoste 2013-12-20 13:30

Interesting concept, music was nice too!

m0n0quartz 2013-12-20 17:35

Wow it looks really nice i love this graphics and audio, gameplay was good too ;)
An IOS/Android port will be great !

aviktorov 2013-12-20 18:06

Minimalistic and stylish to the bone.

_zulli 2013-12-22 21:40

Awesome game! Please port it for mobile devices! :O
Really cool gameplay!

If you have time, please consider rating my game ! I would really appreciate it :)

danman9914 2013-12-22 21:47

Clean graphics and audio. Draining the energy of the other spheres had great game feel.

zephyr-raine 2013-12-22 22:07

Very good instinctive game, the sobre and cristaline music is perfect. =)

javifugitivo 2013-12-22 23:42

Great mechanics! Good job!

van-noctar 2013-12-23 00:28

Yeah! Very difficult! It's hard to controls three circle in the same time :D the gameplay is very fun!!

bruceslater452 2013-12-23 00:45

Loved it. Tell me you are putting it on ios/Android Great fun.

endesga 2013-12-23 01:46

Very cool graphics! 5/5

zkenshin 2013-12-23 23:59
