Really cool! I love the visual grain. Is that achieved with shaders? Simple and fun! Oddly similar (and much better presented than my own submission).

Very agreable to play! ALT+ENTER for the best full-screen, eerie experience!

enjoyed the overall vibe and xperience. well playable immersion.

andynonomous 2014-12-08 02:57

Enjoyed this one, especially the aesthetic!

Fun, but I always mix up the directions when moving.

@Andynonomous - nah, just a screensize animation with additive blend mode, didn't have time for shaders!

@Andrea - I didn't even know you could do that! Oops...

@SolomaZ - thanks

@Andynonomous - hi again

@Mopz - me too!

Very good game, perfect mood, it gets hard really fast, couldn't survive more than 30-45 seconds.

A very immersive gameplay experience! I loved the atmosphere, great work!

nice little game. I love the art style you were going with and the whole old school scanlines thing. It is very colorful. However, why did you go for geometric shapes instead of asteroids and planets? This seems to be more fitting to the vibe and theme. Music is also very well done. Very ambient.

Music and graphics were really nice, like a colourful version of Asteroids. Nice concept as well.

Great visual effects, challenging gameplay. Great work!

Awesome game, congrats!

Great. I love how the sound comes together. I could just sit idly by and listen and be at peace.
Framerate did take a major dive at the end.

Loved it! Really nice idea and simple controls, pretty presentation and simple to improve at, great work!

Great visual effect and sounds set the mood ! Well done.

good game
i love the vibe

I like the musicality of it, it's strangely relaxing. Nice work.

nushriell 2014-12-10 15:30

I really liked the graphics for some reason hehe.

Jeremias 2014-12-10 20:45

That's an entertaining game with an awesome atmosphere created with the visuals and audio. Nice work!

I liked the minimal graphics and tone/atmosphere.

Great entry for 48h. This is fantastic! Well executed concept, nice design, good attention to detail. I absolutely love the rocket's thrust particles getting sucked into the hole. The only problem is it gets too difficult too quickly.

A little side note: The thing in the middle that you see, or rather do not see, is the event horizon aka. the point of no return.

pkenney 2014-12-13 22:34

Very cool! I liked the interesting mechanic with the tradeoff between moving sideways and falling into the black hole, and the presentation and challenge were both strong!

I didn't win, but I played a bunch of times. The top from Andrea to Alt-Enter for fullscreen really made an immersive experience.

The sound created by the movement was a nice artistic touch that added to the experience. In fact the whole thing looked and sounded very nice, lots of great small touches coming together to make simple graphics shine.

Well done.

I loved the ambience of the game, and the aesthetic was one of the top few I've seen in this Ludum Dare! Very well made game, and very challenging but fun and mesmerising.

ronnyegt 2014-12-16 20:37

It was an amazing experience, worth playing and quite challenging! :D

ramonparaiba 2014-12-19 21:05
