Very, no.. no... it's VERY COOL.
But you could worked on it on the whole weekend.

bigkidnuke 2014-12-06 15:07

Thats cool

skullpixel 2014-12-06 15:38

This is genius... with some mobile porting you have something that could be the next flappy bird!

bloodjohn 2014-12-06 15:46

elegant and simple = beatiful :)

raxsus 2014-12-06 21:08

Very simple, yet very fun.

boog33 2014-12-06 21:50

Awesome!

It's a really simple concept but this game is really addictif. I think you can improve it with some interesting graphics. I like it. Thank you for this great contribution ++

Very nice idea, and pleasing visuals.
Too bad it can't be controlled by mouse or analog pad. Rotation speed seems to be quite limiting with keyboard.

chrisgaudino 2014-12-07 01:10

Thanks for the idea luker. Had a couple spare minutes, so I added mouse control and adjustable sensitivity.

alexvscoding 2014-12-08 00:31

Lovely mechanics - feels ridiculously good to play.

Quick fix issue - when I change the sensitivity then use the arrow keys it shifts the sensitivity whilst in gameplay.

The sound gets very repetitive quickly - get 3 or 4 different tones (different ones for the different coloured keys) with some kind of soothing tone.

Having multiple layers to this (a triangle in the middle which you rotate with A and D.

Thanks again for making this game!

Thanks Alex, managed to fix that sensitivity slider bug minutes before the submission hour ended.

Nice concept! Would work great on a touch device.

2014-12-09 01:36

Brilliant, ours is very similar. Check it HexaPong

highscore of 15, yaye! It's so much easier to play with the mouse-control than the keyboard. I used a trackball device actually, maybe it made a difference over a standard mouse.

geckoo1337 2014-12-09 22:48

Simple, addictive and neat. One of my favorites ++

ferraware 2014-12-10 04:27

Really cool for how little time you spent on it, really polished and professional.

bio-bob 2014-12-10 22:17

Cool concept, it's a little tricky to get your bearings for the next rotation when you have no idea what the colour is going to be, it feels like there should be at least a minute hint as to what the next colour, like maybe the next colour could do a really faint and quick flash just before the ball hits the current colour. It's good fun to play though, nice and straight forward as well.

pjimmy 2014-12-11 15:28

brilliant, simple, original, visually appealing, well done :)

mrshoestore 2014-12-11 19:53

for keeping it short you put together a really nice game, obviously could use some graphic and sfx work, but its fun and a bit addictive.

boaheck_artgent 2014-12-11 20:10

The graphics could have been more stylized maybe. The particle effects were cool though.
The gameplay was good but it could have accelerated a bit less. I couldn't beat 10 bounces. I really enjoyed this game so much.

joshua_burr 2014-12-11 23:08

Very nice idea. I found that it quickly became too fast to have any hope of continuing and without knowing what the next colour will be you can't try to aim it at the right place. Maybe you could think of a way of making it get harder without just increasing the speed so that it never becomes 'impossible' and also show what colour is coming up next so that you can aim your shots.

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 23:39

very cool

zkenshin 2014-12-12 19:08

Simple yet addictive, well done!

qleonetti 2014-12-12 19:09

Fun to see there's a few games using octogons with quite different gameplay :) This is a cool one :)

harsayhd 2014-12-12 19:10

JUST PORT IT TO MOBILE PLATFORMS! BELIEVE ME!

timtipgames 2014-12-12 19:11

Very well done!

dramentiaras 2014-12-12 19:13

Very, very cool, got a highscore of 17. Very impressive for just 4 hours.

xanjos 2014-12-13 18:47

It's a shame you wasn't able to work on this further because if you did, it'll probably be a lot more ridiculously addictive than it is right now :p. Absolutely loved the simple to learn yet hard to master gameplay.

dunin 2014-12-19 15:50

simple and fun. I mean very simple and VERY fun.
Maybe become harder too faster...
my bets: 15

leaghorn 2014-12-21 02:24

Nice idea but it gets too hard too fast. It would be better if the difficulty increased slower. Also mouse controls would be the best IMO.
