I quite enjoyed the music track. Pretty clever mechanics coupled with a simple overarching goal makes for a good entry.

Really chill and fun game, but I kept dying for reasons I couldnt understand. A readme would help.

Interesting mechanic. I kept getting game-overs and I couldn't figure out why. While the game was working (to my understanding) it was enjoyable.

I like the feeling of the ball, but I didn't undertsand sometimes why I died :(
I want to avoid more of those little fire buddy, but I always lost (dunno why) before it gets tricky, very frustrating ! :)
Music is pretty cool !

I love the physics and the main blue main character.

It was difficult

I must admit that I wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but I managed to last a while by flinging myself from wall to wall.

Why did I die ?? Like the music btw. The graphics are colorful ! But why the hell did I die this time. I try again to understand. Is there a death timer ?

Looks like the hit zone of fire stuff is too big, i keep dying wile being far from the fire balls. But the concept and the physic is good :)

Cool concept, and I love the audio. I do seem to be randomly dieing on occasion (playing in Chrome). Otherwise pretty cool.

"Death is inevitable" I can see that :)
I had no idea why or when it happens. But it sure do.
Appart of that I like the core mechanic, its very innovative. Maybe you shold add an angle constraint so you can't target nearby walls and avoid big crossing.

That's really strange. It seems as though one of my enemies is not showing up. Let me try rebuilding it.

bachyard 2014-12-09 05:36

There we go! Rebuilt it and it seems to be working from my end. Can anyone else confirm?

I enjoyed the mechanic, so different, original, was fun. Music was surprisingly good and simple.

Ah ah, nice gameplay ! Maybe an upgrade system ? Or some powerup scattered in the room ?

boxedmeatrevolution 2014-12-11 20:06

Good music and cool concept. Needs some kind of powerup system though, gameplay became repetitive when I realized that the best strategy was to just go in circles around the outside.

Fun game that is easy to pick up. A high score would have been great icing =). I had fun playing it, good job!

Interesting concept, but it needs a little fleshing out in the gameplay mechanics... I was kind of able to cheat the game by just clicking the walls in a clockwise or counter-clockwise circle every time and win without much of any risk within mere seconds.

I'm not sure how you can combat this, maybe make it so you can't jump to the one next to you unless you've already been there
