Nice game. I really like the feedback and sounds, it almost has a flipper table vibe to it. :)

zupoman 2014-08-25 16:43

Very good. I like the music, it gives it a great mood.

I really like the execution of this. Level progression seems a little slow at first, but very quickly picks up.

lukz 2014-08-25 16:49

Nice mechanics! Consider mobile version with accelerometer controls.

tomker 2014-08-25 16:52

Nice music and gameplay :)

shellfishgames 2014-08-25 16:59

Nice visuals and good, fluid gameplay. The game would certainly benefit from one or two additional gameplay elements, but other than that it's already pretty cool.
I kind of like the way the music changes in the menu. :>

Great game feel and sounds, I got to level 9. I made something similar but turn-based puzzle.

nusan 2014-08-25 18:06

Prety good, visual is great ! Timed race is a bit hard, and ask for a good and fast memory. I like the small green dot being the most important thing to figure out the path. Good job.

Excellent game. I really like the graphics.

The design decisions of highlighting the blocks you collide with and the HUD showing in which direction the exit is are really clever.

Good job!

springpowered 2014-08-25 18:13

That was more fun that it has any right to be :]
I'd just point out I don't like games going full screen without my permission :( (Still played it quite a bit though :))

stridewide 2014-08-25 19:07

The game may be simple, but the dual screen mechanic with slightly different levels adds enough for it to be fun.

c023-dev 2014-08-25 20:08

Arcady game, nice music, and good job on level design with the little green hints. Solid game! Congratulations!

rocketship 2014-08-26 09:28

Enragingly enjoyable :D The feedback when you hit the wall is so great

mclewis 2014-08-26 09:46

Fun puzzle game. Mine uses a somewhat similar game mechanic.

geti 2014-08-26 10:04

Fun! I feel like there'd be more possibility space if you could get the balls "out of sync", currently it plays as a logical "or" of both collision spaces in both screens, but that said it looked great and played well. Loved the rolling ball effect.

ellian 2014-08-26 11:04

Very solid entry!
I wasn't expecting much, but it turns out it's very polished. Kudos!

malphaswats 2014-08-26 11:22

Cool game. I'm terrible at it! :)

prophile 2014-08-26 13:47

Unfortunately, nothing renders when running this with wine (Mac OS 10.9.4). Just a black screen.

ratking 2014-08-26 17:58

Split/Maze definitely is an example of an entry done right - a nice concept, works without any problems, has a menu and cool music, and it's not frustrating. Awesome!

voider 2014-08-26 18:41

cool game, nice music and sounds. The effect of the ball-hit to a wall is awesome!

selfishgenome 2014-08-27 19:36

Very cool concept.

ptsnoop 2014-08-28 19:13

This is definitely one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that game ideas. Good concept, well polished. Good game!

kingbolonzo 2014-08-31 18:43

music and sound are awesome its definitely where i fucked up in my game. the theme was great

crefossus 2014-09-01 06:16

I liked the textures for the walls and the ball graphics. The wall feedback (Graphics and audio) was nice in case you weren't paying attention to the screen you hit a wall on.

The timed trial mode was fun but I didn't like having to restart the game when lost. I would have kept playing if you could just retry the level you lost on.

The random mode was kinda fun but since you can't lose there becomes no reason to play at all.

anssipe 2014-09-01 06:41

Fun game. Nice old school vibe. Reading the sources bring back memories :)

grayhaze 2014-09-01 12:18

Fun and challenging. I liked the obvious thought that had gone into the levels and particularly the animation of the balls. Good work! :)

malf 2014-09-01 17:14

Fun game but I miss some enemies

aomeas 2014-09-01 17:19

That's fast and fun :D
The indicator of which collision is up on every screen is a cool idea
Nice sounds too :3

jprogman 2014-09-02 08:09

Fun game! One suggestion to add: I like to see the green "coins" and the exit stand out more so I can see them in my peripheral vision.

sunflower 2014-09-06 16:06

Am I correct when guessing that in Time Challenge game's levels are randomly generated, but always with the same seed?

Anyway, this game is pretty addictive, made it to level 30, but then I decided I'd rather not go further, and it indeed seems like these levels can go on and on.

Also, nice touch with using different soundtracks for different modes; more hectic for Time Attack and relaxed for Endless Mode. I liked the graphics and the fact you can see where the end is located, too.

Overall, very solid, polished entry.

pansapiens 2014-09-07 11:02

Quite mesmerizing in endless mode. Love that level complete sound .. satisfying, and familiar in some way but I can't put my finger on it.

voxel 2014-09-10 15:39

Time challenge makes this good. Great feedback, solid movement, something weird about the audio engine hewhew but really this is a quite a lot of fun.

hypnohustla 2014-09-14 16:45

Great sound effects, makes the game feel very responsive. :) The game gets very hectic fast but that just makes it so much better. I might have ended up cross-eyed after this :D

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments!
