Since this is a 48-hour compo entry, you need to include the source code on this page.
Cool Concept, and well designed rooms.
I'd buy a longer more polished version.
MAAAAN that was tricky. The reversing controls at the centre of the spin is a really tricky thing to master but I would put the time in for a longer version. Good work.
i like the art , very nice , but hard XD
so tricky i like it.
That was GREAT! I had to tilt my head a lot, but the concept really worked out well!
Awesome, would be nice if there was a little HUD in the corner telling you what arrow does what.
It's hard to understand the controls at first, but once you do, it's fun.
The gravity seems like a bit of a hack. IMO, gravity should always be down, and not have to do with the hemisphere that you are in.
I really like the concept, I just wish the game was longer!
incredible man,,,,, i loved it.... the circular mechanic is so cool,,, really an interesting game, good work!!!
Really interesting idea. Difficult to get your head around. I'd love to try a version where the whole world rotates so your gravity is always downwards.
That was so much fun. Great job!
Like other people said, a little tricky but mostly beatable. The one thing that could be better is for the first time it is hard to see if u actually can reach the platform cause of small distances between platform levels
Tricky mechanic, loads of fun.
I didn't get very far. Innovative as always though!
Love that music. I found this really hard, but I kept trying and got to the end, so I guess it's got a good difficulty curve. Nice work!
I had so much fun playing this!
I really liked the mechanics in concept, and there were some really cool ideas presented, but I often found the gravity just too hard to parse well enough to make good decisions on where to jump
Such a simple concept, but it makes it much more challenging and fun. Loved it!
Hurts my brain :P But really cool idea!
Overall, it was a fun little game.
Aaand, my first game to rate in this LD30.
This was a short and fun game with good game mechanics :)
Great idea, very innovative, it must have been a nightmare to code! Too bad the playability isn't great.
This is super fun! I want it to be longer. I dig the music too.
Very cool concept, definitely a little mind bending. Nice work!
i had fun, got stuck at the circular spinning platforms with a wall on one side and empty space on the other (like 2 minutes in)
cool game. movement is fun and interesting, but kinda hard to get the hang of
Difficult but so fun!
IMO, gravity is little too strong.
Original plan. I like the motion, second level jump across centre - that was nice moment. Had lots of trouble even on level 3, for my crappy reactions that was the difficulty spike! Could feel my brain stretching to grasp up' is 'inwards'.
Another favorite of mine for this Ludum Dare! Excellent game! Really hit my reward sensors when I beat it, even if it's kind of short. I can imagine a large-scale game based on this with multiple levels.
The gravity set up is tough to get used to, but it's really cool. I foresee great things from this
Huuuuuu sooooo frustating !
The game is really challenging that I have to tilt my head a lot of times. Good Job!
Very fun and challenging. Would be awesome with more levels. Good job.
Sometimes the circular motion is not very intuitive (specially on weird jumps), but I really enjoyed this game and how the puzzles were designed. Good job!
(as some people added above, you need to add the source code or move to the jam)
cheers!
Cool idea, great level design. It made me loose my mind, the 4th circle (after the little one) is really hard, I had too give up. I wish I could see the rest of the game ! Good job !
Really good work! When you enter each world/circle/chamber a preview vector field of it's forces/gravity could be a good addition.
Thanks for the great feedback guys! :D I have added a source link for the game's code now :)
Great use of the theme! ;-)
I like the concept! The look I think could have been quite elegant if you'd had time for polish, and there's probably room for some pretty interesting things to do with this if you decide to go back to it after the compo. Good stuff.
Well this certainly required some mental gymnastics. Managed to finish it eventually. Nice work :)
wow great and very challenging
Now you're thinking with... polar coordinates! Very neat idea, well executed. Good game!
It was a really enjoyable concept, controls could of been better but I would play a longer version.
Whoah! Totally love the game mechanics and idea! Innovation is 100%.
Really unique experience for me. It will be very cool if you'll compete this game and polish it!
Neat idea, and impressive too! It would be cool if you explored more gameplay mechanics and added more content in the future, nice work!
Wow, very impressive, I never played a game like that. I realy need more level! I think its a good idea for a full game. The art style is beautyful. I wonder if rotating the camera somehow with the player would be easyer. Keep up the good work!
Excellent little platformer. Nice and challenging. Hope to see you make more levels!
Super mind bendy! I thought the whole circular platforming vibe was really successful. I'd say the biggest thing you could do to make this better is figure out how to give appropriate feedback for when the gravity is going to switch up since it's hard to figure out without experimenting and it's not really sticky information (since experimenting often leads to death). Nice work!
Awesome and brainfucking stuff... i love it... Cool sound... super cool style... nice physics and gameplay... a little bit too short... maybe you will provide a post ludumdare version... Thank... tagged it as a favotite!
Short and sweet. Well done!
Really cool game. Good mechanics. Challenging, but fun ;) good job!
music was groovy, gameplay was hard and groovy, overall groovy experience
AGGGGHHHH!H!!!!!!!!!! So much rage for that fourth world. GG
Its is soo good. I love the game. Put in the effort to make a longer more polished version.
A nice concept but the precision platforming is a little annoying early on. Also I wish the mute button would mute the jump sound as well.
I totally dig it. Definitely a bit tricky to jump towards the middle but I still dig it.
Wow what a super fun game! I am not sure how it expresses 'connected worlds', but it sure is a good game :)
Haha, this does hilarious things to my brain on the parts where you go all the way around in the same direction. Really cool concept!
Very challenging and a lot of fun. Cool interpretation of the theme! I wish there was more!
I really liked this! Great puzzle design, I just wish it were longer. And honestly, you really made the game look really nice with really simple graphics by simply choosing good colors and animating the background-well done!
Great. game, but where is the theme?
I kept dying but I like the idea and the graphics. Some better checkpoints would probably have stopped me from rage quitting.
Controls are rather weird, but I like the whole concept, nice work on what's there.
Very cool idea! The controls felt too hard to master, but it was fun nonetheless :)
Simplistic, the way I like it, good job.
Too hard sometimes.
nice! little bit tricky the third chamber...
Fantastic entry. Like others have said, it's hard to wrap your head around the gravity. I reckon because you suddenly get flung in another direction so fast. Could do with some slower acceleration for falling. Anyways, great stuff!
Although it was bit hard I enjoyed the mechanic quite a lot. Good level ideas too. I did sometimes feel the collision on the side of objects feel a bit odd but that might of just been me being frustrated at not making jumps
Very addictive :) Congrats!
Nice game!
Nice! Struggled to get ma head round how to beat the gravity but got there in the end :) Trial and error.
Liked the background music - good job
Nice work, controlls kinda difficult to learn but still make you want to play, love the levels design :D
It's nice game dude
Cool idea quite fun and challenging. Good work!
Instantly I love this game. :D Good job!
This was incredibly difficult!
Really fun and challenging!
Nice Job
Great fun, challenging and requires focus! Love it, exactly what I went for :)
Lots of fun.
Very cool. I want more levels now :)
Very nice!! I`m impressed with the gravity mechanics in this game, wow! Too bad it`s so short, I wish there was more :(
Short and sweet. Novel mechanic. Nice job.
cool game .. the mechanics are hard!, I like it!
Good game, I like it.
Probably the only game I've played where the controls are more difficult than in my own. You're quite brave for attempting to implement these physics in 48hr, so for that I award extra marks.
Very cool game, so short but very fun !
Another awesome idea and very well executed. That thumping bass really adds to the experience. As always I would love to see more "levels"
Really, really, really, fun, complicated, and simplistic!
The best game I've seen so far!! I would pay money for a bigger version!!
Very cool! I liked going through the different levels, It's a little difficult at times. Other that very original and cool game! Great work! :D
AHHHH! It's so challenging. But in a good way. I loved this entry personally, nice level design :)
I like the game even though it's a pain to master the controls. The art is also nice, and I like the music. All in all, it's a wonderful and simple idea! Keep adding more to it, though.
Why do you have a mute option, the music is great.
Fun and tricky concept, and a rather good synth loop
Excellent idea. I'm not sure how it's connected to the theme though. The only problem I got is that it is hard as hell :D
That was really good. The controls and physics seem spot on.
The last level was a real mind-bender. Only wish there were more.
That was great game. I am terrible at it, but it is great. My head hurts from banging my head on the table. Awesome job.
Nice concept, not really connected to the theme but quite fun to play! :)
Wow this so cool to play. It's crazy how fast we get used to having a round gravity! Well done it's really really great :)
It's a shame it's on the short side cause the mechanics were quite mind bending (to get the inversions and rythm asked me some unusual neuronal connections :).
I had much fun playing this and would have played longer had it been possible ! (post compo?)
Good mecanics, really fun to play. Too bad there isn't more levels. The music is good.
This was really fun to play and hard. Great work.
Fun Idea. Hard to get the contol under control. But fun to play and nice drum and bass background tune. At least for the duration of the game.
The concept is awesome! I didn't really like it when the ball got smaller; for some reason that made it harder for me to understand the gravity change. Like you said, I was left wanting a little more content. The audio and graphics are quite good, as is the mood!
It's a super innovative idea, and I had a blast playing it!
Great idea, wanted more levels!
Great concept, I had fun playing your game! It's a bit too short though.
Oh Benn, this is glorious. Connection to the theme is tenuous, but the gameplay is excellent. I wish it were longer.
Addictive... controls (with gravity) are like, 10% too hard I feel... almost perfect but if had just a tinnny bit more "give" then it would feel really natural, like you were a gravity-defying master!
NEAT. This spins me around. Circle reference.
Honestly the only thing that bothered me about this was that my character looked like a squashed bean. Music was alright, graphics did the job, but the concept and execution were really original and interesting.
Really awesome concept! I had a lot of fun playing, it was easy to understand, but a little difficult to master - wish it were a little longer :)
Very nice idea, is funny and i found it very innovative. GJ!
Mind boggling! I could play a longer version of it on my mobile, that would be great. Keep developing it!
