Quite fun!
Challanging! And depressing when you don't have skills :3
Really nice concept. But I have a headache now.
LOL so nicee!!
love this
Very interesting. Kinda gives me a headache though.
Wow! very cool and addictive
Hard to get into the rhythm, but when you do, it feels really good
Really fun and challenging! I have a headache just like all these commentors too xD
I liked this a lot, although the music gets a bit annoying after a while imo
Pretty Interesting & quite disorienting. I first played with my focus only on one and later realized i've to keep track of 4 faces which seems a daunting task. Music could've been improved btw.
To everyone: Thanks for the feedback!
Fun and addictive!
Wow, very good spin off of Super Hexagon! I like how you've adapted the concept to fit your theme. Being able to rotate the faces to different paths makes for neat moments of trying to rearrange which one will take a forced sad face.
Quite fun. I find it kind of impossible keeping tabs on how all 4 characters are doing happiness-wise in all of that chaos, but I still had a good time with it.
Challenging, i quite like the concept and i would like to see it taken further.
It stays a bit slow, the pace should pick up a bit. Really fun game!
Love the concept, seems simple at first but it is quite challenging. Nice!
Very well presented, super challenging, I wish there was a slower mode, and effects for when i catch a happy face or get hit (sometimes i lose track of how I'm doing
cool.. so nice and fun!
I think overall the game did not fit the theme. But it's a good concept! (I haven't played super hexagon then I have no idea in what to expect!). Very challenging!
Superhexagon style :) I like it.
Nicely done!
Didn't know what I was doing, but hey it was fun
Quite disorienting and hard to get in the rhythm. Some feedback to the player when you get hit would have been nice. But quite addictive too.
Nice idea, and quite well executed! I agree that it could do with some feedback when you pick up good/bad faces.
Best score: 18 sec.
Well done mechanics
15 point something seconds. Gah. Wow this is hard. EXCELLENT.
Nice job, very hard for me.
Hard game 0_0, but fun and okay
Too challenging and disorienting for me but I love the idea!
Awesome Super Hexagon-like ! Good job !
Emulates the Superhexagon feel quite accurately, although with four things to control instead of one it feels even harder! :)
Nice toy.
Nice work! Pretty fun, i'm bad with this kind of games where you need to pay multi-attention but Really fun! Something i dont understand is where is the theme? :/
@WhiteWolf93 and those wondering about the theme:
It's a game about pretending to be happy. When you're depressed and you try to stay happy, waves of sadness usually hit you and it's hard to look fine. Beneath the surface, you're all messed up. This is, btw, coming from a sometimes-depressed 19 year old.
Any who, this is why I said the game was pretentious (;
So.. this is what seizure feels like :)
challenging and addicting
Great stuff. Love the challenge!
Nice mechanics (love to change lanes when one of the faces is about to “hurt” and I get two sad faces together). With some minor tweaks in speed and enemy/sad faces spawning and some polishing, this could be great. Good work!
Solid concept and well executed. That music tho D:
Love it, surprisingly difficult for a simple concept. And hooray HaxeFlixel!
I like how you mentioned that it was inspired by super hexagon, but it's clearly got a different feel to the game. I haven't seen anything quite like this before. It's cool that just focusing on one of the lanes doesn't get you the best result, you have to be aware of all of them.
I understand the concerns for music, but it's hard to generate energetic music. I'll look for better music post compo.
Pretty awesome idea, I was definitely unable to keep up with all four sides though :<
An interesting take on Super Hexagon. Sort of annoying in the same way Super Hexagon is with the pulsing, but it's a thematically sound game and I enjoyed it.
Quite interesting concept, but I think the thing about having the face be differently happy and moving them into the unavoidable obstacles so you don't fail was a bit overcomplicated. Still a nice game overall!
Love this 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
Challenging game but well done. I'ld like to see few ease modes: 2 lines, 3 lines.
Being a Super Hexagon fan, I could only love your game ! I like the challenge. The graphics are simple but good nonetheless.
As you said it's seems at first much inspired by Super Hexagon, with the patterns and rotation, but the "lives" system you added makes it really different!
At first I thought that double "enemies" would just piss me off and forbid me for happiness (and winning), but then I saw the good guys : the difficulty rose as the possibility of succeeding!
Thank you for that!
I must admit, that my scores are'nt much high though.
Very easy to pick up and play, well done! I'm not too sure on the connection to the theme but I suppose it's about hiding emotions and how you are feeling beneath the surface. Good stuff :)
Trying to pay attention to all of the faces at the same time is way too hard for me. Got to 25 seconds or so by paying attention to only one of them though.
I think the style is ok, both the graphics and the audio work well enough for such a (deceivingly) simple game.
