Really cool. Love the graphics
Nice! This is really polished and the game play makes sense.
This is really nice! I'm a bit annoyed by the effect when you collect something but the rest is sweet.
Very solid little game, like the idea and the challenge. The effect when you catch a square is a little too strong though, it made me lose track of where I was.
Very lovely music and art style.
Sometimes A/D control is a little bit confusing.
May be some combination of UP/DOWN will work better?
But I like game. Will play it again later!
Pleasing music and visuals. Not too deep of a game but the polish really sells it.
very Nice work :)
Really fantastic game, very well polished and fantastic music. Any chance of releasing the music?
Fantastic! Really polished and original, although the controls are weird. I'd better use UP/DOWN as dector said.
Favorite game so far, this is actually quite addicting, my only gripes are: It doesn't really fit the theme, and Sometimes i got confused direction-wise when i was switching rings.
Good game, great music, and good art. A and D was confusing, I think up and down would have made more sense.
feels great, but it's a little confusing to start.
The art in this game is gorgeous. I really love the look and feel. Pretty good game with great polish.
Like what's been said, was very polished and pleasent, and a little disorienting control-wise. Good stuff.
Seriously great game. Very polished, but I'm not really sure how it fits with the theme.
Nice, I actually liked to play this :-) 65 on my first game.. I've been hitting wrong buttons all the time when direction changed.. :D Good job on this
really fun! I wish the triangles were easier to tell apart from the squares. They should be the red ones! It felt like it really got away from me pretty fast, not sure why. But one of the most fun games I've played so far in the compo! Great job!
Awesome execution of a great concept. Well done!
Quite simple. Quite cute. Fun and Challenging!
Quite simple. Quite cute. Fun and Challenging! Addicting!
Simple clean fun. Very nice
Great game overall! The movement is really fluid, and the concept is really interesting and innovative. It's pretty fun to play, and it gets really tough. Its a little to hard to control the game. Loved the simplistic art style and cleanness of the animations. The sound effects are great and the music was good. I feel like the mood was a little different than expected; expected a little techno/sciency feel to it. Great job!
Very clean game. Enjoyable and simple with good feedback.
Really enjoyable, clean, and relaxing; excellent job.
Cool game, but not sure how it relates to the theme... but cool :)
Really love it, specially this kind of games, original and addictive!
Some people have asked about the theme relation. It's core gameplay is based around the structure of an Atom. Protons/Electrons/Neutrons interacting with each other in different ways. ;)
Game is done.. ship it :)
Solid and simple mechanics and concept, executed wonderfully. Its visual style and audio was fantastic. A very well produced game, without even considering it was completed within 48 hours. Bravo sir!
These are fun indeed :D Beautifully crafted, really fluid.
I say, damn good game sir.
So, I think this is a very complete game. It's fun, gives you a nice time. Mechanics are nice, easy to understand, and pretty solid. The only complaint I have, is that I have some problems remembering which key is inside and which is outside. Heh, but that's me, I suppose.
You did a great job overall. Planning, and execution.
Very polished. It was kind of relaxing at fist with the piano music, but then the gameplay became crazy frantic.
Awesome job, I really enjoyed this. I forgot I was playing something made in 48 hours.
Hail Hydra!
Good work. My brain was getting so confused trying to get around the rings :D
fun gameplay, impressive amount of polish, amazing job.
would suggest that the triangles be coloured differently than the squares, and also that the final score is displayed more prominently (didn't know I'd started a second round until I realized that my score was lower than it'd been)
Great game! I think with some work it can become a cool mobile game. Swipes could be used to go up and down or something. My only gripe is that the slow on pickup seems a bit exagereted.
Awesome game, Hail Hydra!
Really nice game, looks very polished for a 48 hour attempt. Excellent stuff!
This one is really good. Simple and fun!
I really like the concept, it is challenging
Awesome game!, The premise for surface is obvious and controls-wise I preferred using the moused rather the A D keys... seemed a bit more responsive to me
nice work :)
Responsive, Intuitive, Addictive. Loving it!
Nice simple mechanic but fun to play. I was surprised you move faster on the outer rings.
Simple and fun and nice to look at!
Lovely! I was very confused about the red dot vs the triangle! :(
Nicely polished. I would appreciate, if it was much more hardcore though :)
Really liked this one. Two minor complaints:
- the triangles in another color to better distinguish them from the rectangles maybe?
- Highscore keeping would be nice so I can beat my own
Other than that I think this has a very nice level of polish und the design is excellent.
Love the game, especially how polished it is (screen shake, sounds, ..)
This game is slick, simple and fun! It starts out a little bit slowly, but when it picks up it's really great.
Good game. Looks polished, graphics and audio really suit the game style.
Great work.
Like the gameplay a lot. Easy to understand, hard to master, as it should be :-) And really smooth (except for my virtual machine that ruins the day when the blur/screen shake kick in). One of the best entries so far!
I like how you state Bohr's atomic model as one of your tools :3
Cool game. Don't really see how it fits the theme though.
Really fun and clean, little game :)
This is cool. Great graphics and original concept. Makes me want a much bigger, faster version though. This could be addictive. Wasn't sure why you had lives if it resets when you die though. Seems like it would suit having a single life, but yeah. Awesome.
Cool idea! Feels very solid.
Most polished game I've seen so far, and I think I love everything about it, even down to the little "hail hydra," made me chuckle :3
This game is of the right difficulty and I enjoyed playing it, well done!
Very cool game. Great polished art. Could easily be worked on a bit more and published as a finished game. Nice work!
This is really cool! It looks great and it feels great.
Amazing game! Love the overall pleasant feel of the game. The art style and music really works well together. It's a really elegant game which is simple but tough to master. A really great job well done.
Enjoyed a lot. Great game!
I have to say, this game is really cool ! The game is simple, the art (especially the music) is very nice. Congrats !
Nice game. Nitpicks: Wish it didn't start so depressingly slow - takes several minutes to get challenging. Red is the colour of danger, to begin with I avoided the red things and went for the triangles, not knowing they were bad.
Soothing music, great graphics. Really simple but fun game. I'd make the effects a little more subtile when hitting a square. Well done
Great look and feel. After a minute or two I got it and then got good at it.
This game is definitely very addictive. Simply done and very well executed. Well done!
Well done. One of the best I've so far.
Minor note: I like the simple color pallet, but I kinda wish the triangles were colored differently so I could better keep track of them.
Thanks for the game!
There's nothing I can really say that hasn't already been said, but it's a really nice game. Super polished!
Nice little arcade game. The feedback when hitting a square was really nice. Sometimes the triangles spawned in front of me, forcing me to lose the game. But overall a really solid game :)
Amazing concept and use of the theme ! I had a lot of fun !
Hey congrats on your first LD! It looks and feels really great.
Good concept! But what has it to do with the theme? Also, music is a bit too repetitive and tends to make me fall asleep.
i love the nice simple graphics, nice and quaint
A neat game :)
Very simple and fun to play.
Very nice ! Music and gameplay = <3
Maybe you should have give different colors for square and triangle, hardly discernable when they are rotating and your own circle moving quickly !
Great job !
Really good effect. I think avoid and correct item are too similar to distinguish at first. But after I got the rule, it's really fun!
Really polished looking! My only complaint is that the effect when you get a +1 feels like you got hit/took damage. I thought I was screwing up for a while at first.
Wonderful simple game with great graphics and fitting sounds. Even the minimal background music loop fits the game.
I loved the collision effects. Only tiny thing to criticize is that it doesn't fit the theme this well.
I am happy that my game Atomic or Atomic+ inspired you to that game :) it would be nice of you if you mention it :)
Fantastic little game! could easily see this do well on mobile!
fantastic concept and perfect art!
Really nice game. Liked the animation, the sound, and the controls felt good. Would like the difficulty to ramp a little slower so I could play longer.
Interesting gameplay, pretty polished!
Really nice to be such a simple game. It feels solid, has great visuals, appropriate sounds/music, and offers a fun little gameplay mechanic. Good job.
Wow! Really polished, interesting concept, and I really wanted to beat my high score!!! I think maybe things sped up a tad too quickly, but this is one of the most polished entries I've seen. Great job on keeping your idea small and nailing the execution!!!
I really like the graphics effects :)
I could see this being a mobile game. Good job :)
Damn, I hate people who manage to find (and execute!) so simple and addictive concepts.
Really like this, and the music/mood is just perfect for it. :)
Beautiful game and fun to play! It's not great at conveying gameplay though. The most menacing looking piece isn't actually bad (the red dot) and the triangles that are bad look identical to the squares.
Very well done!
Oh.. this is good. Everything is spot on. I hate you in a good way. haha I can see this game on mobile. Do you have any plans to port it?
challenging but fun once you get the controls down. When you get spun around, it kind of has a super hexagon feel to it, challenge wise. You did a really nice job on the nice clean colors and shapes, it all looks very appealing to the eyes :)
Absolutely stellar work you have here :)
Beautiful.
Cute cute cute cute cute ^^
I have to show this to all my science teachers now... Love it; inspired!
Very interesting. Wish I had read the rules first. Got into it for a while then tried to read them while playing :) Nice idea for a game!
simple game play that works. this is a very fun game but it does get hard very fast. great job.
Nice mini game!
I love the graphics. Concept is cool. Good job !
Liked the gameplay, loved the simplicity and the sound. Well done, extra kudos for being a first timer!
Lovely! THE JUICIEST GAME :) I love it! The speed up mechanics make death really awwww inducing! I love the juice! But the juice is a bit mismatched initially - when I picked something up I thought I'd got hit and died :/ But I learned the right stuff eventually.
Multiplayer? :) Perfect for mobile :) A bit like orbit1 I guess :P
Neat gameplay, especially for such a simple game! Good job on the idea and execution!
Awesome! I like it.
Great game. Especially for 14 hours? I loved the gameplay. The sounds and the screen shake were very satisfying. Suggestion: Make the red dot be the thing that hurts you and the triangle reverse you (and maybe a "safe" color). Great work.
Nice game! Stretching theme use just a bit to me any ways.
Thanks for all the awesome feedback and advice.
I am currently reworking the control and game mechanics to be a lot more smooth, changing the color scheme a bit, and adding menus, global leaderboards, and will have a full version available for Android and Windows phones in the next week.
You can keep up to date and read my postmortem at:
http://blog.lostautumn.net
Again, all your feedback and comments are invaluable. Thank you very much.
Wowzers. the most polished game i've played so far. and nice simple mechanics. could easily be developed into a full game!
Really good and solid idea. Polished work.
But I think :
-It's going too fast too quick !
-I can't see enough difference between particules. Change color of tritons ?
-I don't feel confortable with the keys. Up arrow allow me to go up or down... Maybe use the four direction ?
- What about touching circles ?
Good work btw !
Loved the music, and like many said, the graphics. Strangely hypnotic. My only complaint is the scoring effects, the first time it happened to me, I thought I did something wrong, it didn't read like I did something right (positive reinforcement), but instead it did make me feel like I got "hit" and was something to avoid. Perhaps needs a new sound and toned down screenshake. Finally, the triangles as things to avoid were unclear, and seemed too similar to the squares visually.
Great game, excellent mechanics and execution. Could play for hours
Really well done!
nicely polished game, maybe it relates to the theme as all are/is atoms beneath the surface?
controls were slightly off for me, would the scroll wheel work? up/down?
really polished and simple and fun ..good job :)
Great game! The mechanics works great! It's a great game for just 14 hours. :)
Really fun ;D
Nice and simple game play very well executed. I liked it! It reminded me of Super Hexagon.
This is the most fun of all that I've played. The reversals are brilliant.
Having the triangles and squares be the same color definitely adds to the challenge; it would be interesting to try a different color for the Tritons!
Great work
Your game is great, I like it very much. The idea with the atom is good too, but is quickly forgotten while playing this addictive game. I played a similar one a few years ago, but the mechanics are still great. Simple games are the best.
Very cool game. I found it confusing cause I instinctively wanted to avoid the red things and catch the triangles, so when the game got faster I always died because I was reaching for the triangle :/ Still very good job, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Great game! The fact that I didn't initially know what the red globes would do was a fun surprise. I thought the controls were a bit weird in the beginning but soon got used to them. All in all, awesome!
Simple but challenging. Well done! Cool concept.
And I really like the collecting effect. Sells it for me.
really nice game, those red circles are not fun! Messed me up everytime haha :D
nice, really fun. i'll probably come back and play this later
Nice game... the only thing that bothers me (and I don't know if it was intentional) is that it's a clone of RogueNoodle's 9.9 that he made for the Cyberpunkjam...
Yeah, it's addictive! love it :)
Such "juicy" graphics, really well executed.
The clean graphical style works beautifully, and the crunchy hit / move effects give real feedback to every action.
As others have said, though, I feel that the visual distortion effect is going a bit too far for a game so dependent on quick reactions.
Similarly, if you could find a way to include different colours for Protons and Tritons in your minimal palette, I think that would help to visually distinguish them while trying to plan movements at speed.
Really cool game for your first ludumdare entry! I loved playing it. My sister is in med school. I might have to send this to her to play haha
Really nice, it would be more effective if collectibles are in a different color of the monsters. I like also how the tutorial is shown.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!
Everything is perfect in this game, very addictive, nice work :)
Great game. Really clean look and feel. Well executed concept.
Besides being an atom, I'm confused as to how this fits "beneath the surface". If the theme had been different, I'd have rated it higher, since this is overall a very good example of what can be done in 48 hours. I'd actually suggest seeing if Apple is interested in it as it's the type of game that could really take off there.
Really awesome, great gameplay. Loved the color scheme and the music + sfx.
55. Really like the simple mechanic.
I played this game in the fucking Cyberpunk jam last month. And it was made by someone else apparently........
http://roguenoodle.itch.io/9point9
Fun little game. Love the colors. The reaction to collecting squares is a little jarring. I thought they were hurting me at first, but after that it was great!
Nice minimalist atom thingy! The triangles could sometimes be unavoidable, but fun nonetheless.
This was stunning! Thanks.
Very cool game! The mood is excellent, only thing that was bugging me is the sound and animation when you hit the Protons, since they are not hazards a more smooth effect would be better in my opinion
Aestatics are really well done, nice minimalistic
That was a lot of fun. The game looks nice, feels nice, it's calm and simple.
Nice game, I really like the gameplay.
Great execution. Complete entry - superb audio, slick graphics and good idea. I congratulate you dear sir.
Cool screen shake :P. nice abstract art
Please make this on mobile. So pretty! The music was the best part.
Great art, fun game! It's a quality game Congrats!
I must apologize in advance for my harshness.
This game is quite similar to Atomic+. It might be called a clone. It's not fair that you didn't mention Atomic+ as inspiration.
I have to say that I also think you should have credited Atomic+ as inspiration. The game is different enough that I wouldn't call it a straight-up clone, but I also find it... interesting... that you didn't even mention it.
Nice & clean, well done !
Great game, really relaxing to play and the music is great :)
Cool game. Putting the triangle in red would have made more sense for me but great game anyway.
Cool nice looking game :)
Great game. Really.
That was beautiful. I loved the music and graphics and everything! awesome game
Pure awesomness.. I really liked the feeling of the game. Exceptionally smooth. My only concern was that the CUTE TRIANGLE doesn't look like an enemy (or in this case an Anti-Electron).
Everything is top notch. One criticism is that it's hard to remember whether left click makes you go in or out.
This was lovely and the controls were quite smooth. Great job!
Beautiful game. Nuff said.
This game is fantastic ! Simple and effective, beautiful work on art, camera shaking, sounds.
You should watch Soundodger ,you're game made me think to it !
Really well made but you should mention the obvious inspiration at some point
I can't run it, but it looks really awesome!
Awesome - the first time that I did several hops in a row to narrowly avoid the triangles I felt like a real champ!
Very adictive game =) But not corresponding the theme in my opinion...
Cool idea, this game is fun and good looking.
clear, minimal but really cool!
Before I read the instructions, I thought the red circle were enemies and triangle were good. Otherwise it's a polished and relaxing game.
Beautiful!
Great feedback on destroying the cubes! Left right arrows would have worked better with my brain though :)
Very polished, the difficulty curve was perfect! Agree with others on the effect though, it felt "bad" when you picked them up
Super simple, well made, awesome looking game! I included this game in part 7 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Lm7qNa6SIqA
har dto recognize the triangles when the screen shook. maybe color them in some way if you are going to keep working on it. Really beautiful :)
Very fun game, and feels very polished for an LD. Graphics are spot on!
A very solid game, and the difficulty is just right.
However, those blue circles were not fun at all T_T
Solid game mechanics and everything, though my eyes hurt having protons out by the electrons. The scientist in me cries out that this is not at all the Bohr's model. That apart, a really solid game as I said.
Would really have enjoyed it if the mechanics was to balance the charges of the atoms and have the electrons in the correct layers so that they don't emit to dangerous photons or even electrons or fusion events. That would have been absolutely awesome.
Fun game! Reminds me of Orbit1 for iOS
great!
Sweet! Best so far!
Although the triangles could have a different color to make them differ from the squares :)
I find it hard to judge this fairly because it upsets me that you don't credit amidos2006's Atomic+ as the obvious inspiration.
Fantastic work! Well executed, polished, and simple :)
Sweet! Very simple mechanics but it works smoothly. I loved the audio, and the way you made these simple shapes look so gorgeous (kind of reminds of "Thomas Was Alone"). Amazing job!
The polish!! This is so polished... wow!
Gorgeous graphics and sounds! The game was really fun to play and kept playing think "just one more time... I'll go better than the previous and then stop"... I played for longer than I expected. XD
Cool game. Really slick presentation. Mechanics are simple but fun. Awesome!
great stuff i found my comp would lagg a bit after collecting witch made it hard to control but cool idea and really polished gj
Great simple game, I really liked it.
One of the most unique entries I've seen so far. Clean and simple graphics and sounds make this fun little puzzler just feel right.
I was on a mean streak but then I hit an electron and bounced immediately into tritons.
I wanted to see my score cause I was doing well but I accidentally delayed-reaction left-clicked after I lost =/
Making the things that kill you the same colour as the pickups, and the things that don't kill you red seems an odd choice, but the rest is really well put together. Simple and well polished!
Simple and very fun! Very cool idea!
Great concept, decent implementation.
Great concept, and really fun! At first I was collecting the triangles and avoiding the red until I read the rules. Odd choice, but it was something different. :)
I like the simple game mechanics and the ramp up (fairly quickly) in game difficulty. Nice job on the whole thing. It is quite fun.
Really amazing and lovely game. I was able to show this to some of the kids in my game development club and they were super addicted. Of course, I followed suite. :) Wonderful visuals, great and simple gameplay, it is really fantastic!
great game, really polished
Ohh, neat. Love the punchy effects and the music :)
Hail Hydra.
Perfect game, relaxing, fun and polished!
Slick and juicy. Nicely implemented.
Hard, fun, and nicely polished (particularly given it was made in 14 hours). Good going!
Nice. Simpel but challenging and fun. realy like it
In short: WOW!
That was awesome! Took me a while to figure out that I should avoid the triangles cause the glowing red death balls looked way more menacing.
Fun and interesting! Sometimes the triangle pop up in difficult to react to places, but otherwise it's quite good.
love the graphics, the gameplay and the audio.
I just cant find the relation with the theme
I love this! Nothing much to say, this is great, good job!
Nice little game, really polished. Interesting color palette, too. Nice job!
Very very original, very innovative! Awesome for 14 hours too!
Very great mood and gameplay!
Very cool! It's very addictive
Fantastic presentation. Was expecting a puzzle game from the screenshots, was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't.
Was lagging a lot on my computer every time I collected a square, so much as to render it practically unplayable. Seemed fun though.
Really polished and fun, but the idea of playing as a neutron orbiting a nucleus caused me to unlearn some high school chemistry.
Nice concept and cool graphics! Would have deserve a few more mecanism IMHO, but already quite solid as a minimalist game.
Cheers for your first Ludum Dare.
What an amazing game, very well done - even though its connection to the theme is tenuous at best... You should totally market this as a mobile app! Hail Hydra!
I feel collision sound effects is a bit painful... But very very beautiful music and design! I enjoyed playing:)
Nice simple graphics and gameplay. I enjoyed the music a lot. It really is a fun game that I could easily see being expanded into a full commercial work. Well done and thanks for sharing. :D
The speed increase when you bounce is a little bit too much, but I'm sure I could get used to it as I got better. Keeps me on my toes.
This is a really awesome first entry. Very polished and well designed.
Really good fun. At first it felt a bit slow, but it soon got going once the changing direction and triangles came into play. Lovely visual style.
Really liked it! But it made me feel a little dizzy after a while haha
This had kind of a Game & Watch feel, as it has a clear, and fun concept with simple controls, and gets faster and faster the more you play. ...Okay, a lot of games are like that, but this is the first one I've played here so far that really gave me that vibe. And that's a good thing!
The game may have been a bit too simple, though; it would have been nice to see some other types of items/hazards appear later on. Nevertheless, this game is still good fun.
Innovative game, addictive and could see it working well on a mobile.
love the fluidity of this game, and the concept is really neat. well done!
Cool game! Simple but fun and addictive, got really hard when it was too fast, its hard to see whats bad because everything is the same color and spinning haha
