Some circles circling other circles :D It is a good title! Very nice game with simple graphics. I REALLY LIKE the mechanics! Some continuous color change would be nice.

i liked it

This has a nice feel about it. The idea, clean look and sound go really well together.

Very smooth gameplay, especially for mobile. Slick.

Really good idea! Got 72 points so far.

Got 96 so far. It's hard to distinct the real one and the mirror one after a certain time. It may have been worth to visually differentiate them.
Other than that, you made a solid entry, I like it.

Nice idea, but i don't like that color combination. My eyes start hurting after while. :(

Nice concept, sadly too point annoy me: the fact that the circle are orbiting your finger (that removes a lot of control and "responsiveness" it make the game look unfair). On my tablet, my finger and my hand hide most of the screen.

Managed 90 - very good game. Nice gfx & sound, great concept!

Nice game, with simplistic, yet effective graphics. I think simplesmiler has a point though about differentiating between the real circle and the mirror one ;)

Very difficult. Love it though. Similar art to another game in here called Oval. I imagine this would play great on a mobile device.

Thank you!
The creator of Oval is actually a friend of mine, and we deliberately made games with similar design.
Our games are connected. They take place in the same universe. It's our little play on the theme :)

I must admit I have a thing for these kind of evocative minimalist pieces, and this is no exception. I love the mood that the austere graphics and reflective midi music brings. The dynamics of the music are a bit rough though imo, and a touch jarring because of it. But mostly the music's good. Gameplay-wise, it's addictive and challenging but is simple and doesn't overwhelm, which is the perfect balance I suppose. Thanks for making it! Have to check out the Oval game you mentioned next.

I like this a lot. Now I'm sad, that I have an iPhone ;)

This is really fun! Simple and easy to play but requires strategy. I played it on Firefox with no issue. I miss sound effects, but I enjoyed the minimalist graphics. Good job.

Fun to play, just the right amount of challenge. I like the white on green color scheme alot, but it'd be nice to be able to tell which circle you're primarily controlling a bit easier.

aumni 2014-08-26 23:12

Simple but very nice gameplay! well done :)

43iscoding 2014-08-26 23:14

Simple yet addicting! Good job!

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 23:17

simple and minimalistic and that's great!

colapsydo 2014-08-27 14:39

Fun concept.
I had some trouble on desktop with the circles' moves elasticity, but on a touchscreen it becomes really enjoyable.

arhpositive 2014-08-27 18:05

Minimalist style and good controls make the game highly enjoyable. Solid entry.

tbamberg 2014-08-27 19:43

Music was solid, gameplay was fun, but the controls were a little tough to get used to

Hi there. Great look and feel, original. Love the simple sounds and particles. Good difficulty on the darts. Found it very difficult once 3 darts, maybe slightly more space to let people live a bit longer! Good job!

zyxer 2014-09-02 22:35

Wow! Great game! Feels really polished!

Made it to 102 points.

jukimv1986 2014-09-04 18:32

Nice game to be played on mobile devices. Some added variety would do wonders here. Good job!

drcicero 2014-09-04 22:05

I guess it would be boring if all games were like this. But just now i find it perfect!

Especially the theme idea with two connected games! But i think you should both write that in the description, else how am i supposed to know? Then i could give a better theme rating.

(Even more interesting would be two games, where playing one affects the other one.)

Very cool, gets tricky fast!

tomvert 2014-09-07 13:10

Cool idea, I scored 60 points after 3 or 4 play. I didn't understood at first that I had hold down the mouse, maybe you could use an icon to indicate that. Anyway great job :D

Like when simple design and simple concept come together and create a great experience. Clever game with really nice music. Enjoyed playing this.
