Inspired by hexagone aren't you ? the gameplay is great, simple and addicting (just had some bugs with game over even if i catch the ball ...). And the sync with music is cool too !
And last great Idea when it turn black ! I don't know if there is more surprises after ^^

HelkeGames 2014-12-08 22:03

So cool! I like this concept!

blockers 2014-12-08 22:27

reminds me of super hexagon, very addictive. it took me a long while to figure out how the game worked, though.
the selection of music is awesome, and i love how the audio synthesis (i hope, atleast, hardcoding all of that would be a pain in the rear) effects EVERYTHING. good job on this one!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-08 22:32

Hi bobombe. I think that's not a bug.

Each ball can have a different color, that means a different value: red(1), green(2), blue(3), purple(5), white(7)

I guess you went over the desired score and that's the reason why you lost :)

geckoo1337 2014-12-08 23:12

Clone hexagon. Interesting, but too hard for me ++

drtizzle 2014-12-08 23:13

Damn this is making me dizzy :) Very nice take on Hexagon(i guess?). Great visuals and music!

ossi 2014-12-08 23:14

Very fun game! It's got that Super Hexagon vibe for sure. Good music and great graphics. I especially like the visual filters used as the music changes. Amazing job!

panda 2014-12-08 23:59

Pretty, and good music! This is a very fun game! I love how the color changes as I progress. I wish I didn't have to memorize the color->number mapping, though. And it'd be nice to have some feedback when I win or lose! That might have helped me figure out the game by playing instead of reading the instructions.

rallebauz 2014-12-09 00:02

Crazy visual effects when you progress and exciting gameplay along with great music. Nicely done!

yongcamu 2014-12-09 00:19

Like many have said, very Hexagon inspired, which isn't a bad thing! Your interpretation is really sexy and well done, grats on that! x)

floorman 2014-12-09 01:14

Probably the most fun, polished and awesome game I've seen so far. This is incredible! =D

I love it!

jarry 2014-12-09 01:29

Amazing game !

huggabugga 2014-12-09 04:29

It's a little difficult to remember the color-point system, but the music is so edgy and cool that I just kept on playing to make it to the next level to make it progress. Cool game!

gsmproductions 2014-12-09 12:38

Really hard for me, and the visual effects adding and adding are really too much I think. They make it all to psychedelic to be played and hard to concentrate :(
I like the idea though!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 14:13

@GSM Productions: that's exactly what I wanted, disturb the player's concentration. At least I know it's working well! thanks for the feedback!

dieblume86 2014-12-09 15:21

Nice work, i like the effects when you go far in the level.
The musics are great.
Nice job.

the-arrival 2014-12-09 15:23

wow, polished and awesome music!

rico-albe 2014-12-09 15:23

It's a good game. Nice colors and music and no colors roud is great.

ddrkirbyisq 2014-12-09 15:27

The game idea is....fairly contrived but I guess it's kind of nifty after reading through it and understanding. (Perhaps you could have worded it better?) Neat on the effects, I thought it was way too trippy for comport but I also understand that's really part of the whole point. Thanks for opting yourself out of Audio! Loving the new LD submission process.

insality 2014-12-09 15:56

oooh man, i so love you game
this music, style, gameplay
at end of levels my heart beating faster, that feelings, great! ;]
my game like u, give a challenge for player :D
i will complete u game! pretty easy for me :P

bogdan-tana 2014-12-09 17:21

Funky game :D Totally digging it! The "black-jack" element feels just right.

tritegames 2014-12-09 19:32

What a crazy experience, well done! :)

forge 2014-12-09 20:10

Great Unique concept, controls are smooth, and music matches gameplay perfectly, a little easy but on the whole a very solid entry

watercressstudios 2014-12-09 20:11

Addictingly simple gameplay, although the music is a bit loud by default.

bcole99 2014-12-09 20:12

Interesting idea. The colors associated with the numbers was weird though. It may help to just have the number inside of the balls. Trying to keep them straight was difficult.

aare 2014-12-09 20:25

Oh man... this could be sooooo perfect. It's in almost every level equally or better than superxexagon but what kills the game for me is the fact that I need to remember what number of points each collor of dot represents. The basic idea of the points is cool but I had to read the game description to understand why I was loosing. Made it to the 6 level though after I remembered the scores :)

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 20:34

@ben_pxlplz, @aare: Yes, I had the same problem when I started to play the game. But once you get used to it, you don't see colors, just numbers. Anyway, I can see adding numbers for at least the easiest levels. Thanks for the feedback guys!!!

lynx 2014-12-10 01:13

Very awesome take on the rhythm twitch genre game style! The math thing was a bit of a learning curve as I freaked out seeing a new color wonder what that values was again but once I got it down, it was awesome!

Only thing that hindered me was I would assume that hitting the side of the triangle would register as a hit, but it was more of a 50/50 whether that worked.

Love to see an OSX version so I can play it locally later, also thanks for the great feedback on my game!

virtuallycompetent 2014-12-10 02:22

Very cool! As some others had mentioned, it would be nice if the colored balls had their values on them. I think it would still be difficult for me to do the math and deal with all the crazy motion and colors going on elsewhere, so it wouldn't detract from your sort of "sensory overload" angle. :D

My best score on the first song was 20, but I wish it was a bit shorter. Having to commit to such a long single play session in a game like this is a little exhausting.

saintheiser 2014-12-10 02:31

Whoah!
Can't understand first time what I should to do. But when I've figured out how to play... It was cool =)

lukezaz 2014-12-10 02:39

Very, very fun game. Difficult to get adjusted to the spinning, but once you do it's amazing.

rono 2014-12-10 02:41

Hexagon made trippy and seizury! lol why aren't you on Music category?

yokcos700 2014-12-10 03:35

I'm surprised you didn't volunteer for judging on the audio.

The score/target aspect of the game makes it quite distinct from Super Hexagon even despite the obvious similarities. The way the levels move in time to the music is still immensely satisfying. My main quip would actually be that given the arithmetic requirements, you can't actually lose yourself in the music and the game in the same way you can other rhythm games. I tried that and immediately lost. Other than that, this is an entirely solid game.

kitch 2014-12-10 04:00

Wow. Damn fine job. It had musics, and maths, and screnshake, and awesome color schemes. Great work! Thanks

leaghorn 2014-12-10 04:18

awesome music synchro and effects.

goro 2014-12-10 06:52

VEEEEERY ADDICTIVE!!!!!

asobitech 2014-12-10 09:51

This game is juiced to the max, nicely presented.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-10 12:46

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback! I have decided to opt again in for audio, because after all the work I did for audio synthesis (which is also the core of the game), I think is fair. If you could please revisit your votos I would be so grateful. Thank you very much!

manou 2014-12-10 12:55

good polish, nice game.

jupitron 2014-12-10 14:17

Cool music! add some screen shakes and youre done!!!

joshua_burr 2014-12-10 14:28

Updated audio vote.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-10 14:30

@Jupitron: it already has screen shakes!, but is not too strong and it's on sync with the drum bass frequencies.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-10 14:31

@JoshuaBurr: many thanks!

alwaysinbeta 2014-12-10 14:56

Really good game. Becomes great fun when you get into the shaking, glitching, ramped up music section!

inhelli 2014-12-10 15:24

wow..fantastic!

pjimmy 2014-12-10 15:31

wow, trippy 8O

rulrite 2014-12-10 16:52

Very engaging gameplay, solid visuals and a great soundtrack! Congratulations in making such a polished rhythm game in three days; you've done an excellent job. I just wish I was better at maths. :P

bthedestroyermc 2014-12-10 21:30

Thou cannot phase me... I am a Super Hexagon master! Great game though ;D

pestelcrew 2014-12-10 22:01

Very fun! Cool game!!! =)

rabbit 2014-12-10 22:31

Red dots on an orange background make it ridiculously hard to see.

Its really hard to tell where the dots are going to be because they are just flat colors, that nearly match the busy background. They get lost really easily.

Hard to tell why I missed dots. The hitbox on the triangle is really ambiguous, some for the hitbox on the dots.

esjaji 2014-12-10 22:32

Really good concept. The gameplay's really tricky, but extremely fun once you've worked it out. The visuals work well, although they can hurt your eyes a little when trying to focus on the dots. Still, everything comes together really well, and the music is the icing on the cake. Very, very cool game. Well done!

indie4fun 2014-12-11 12:27

Very good visuals and music! So much fun!

soulgame 2014-12-11 15:22

A game with awesome drum beat, very cool. I could really use some quick in game indications (I had to go back, read your instructions, and then play) because rules aren't intuitive, but that's not a bad thing. Once you get it, it's actually pretty original and very dynamic. Top 5 of entries I've been testing so far.

murdersantateam 2014-12-11 23:26

wow, interesting idea :)
takes a while to get used to mechanics tho :P

demy 2014-12-12 19:04

This graphics looks awesome, simple and so stylish.

franklins-ghost 2014-12-14 12:08

Clever concept and quite addictive. Music was also great and worked well at setting the tempo.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-15 20:34

Interesting concept. I like how you integrated the music with the game.

rd127p77 2014-12-16 20:30

This game is amazing, great Job!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-20 23:18

Really nice beat, great game! I Included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Wy_mvMH2L7Q

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-22 13:04

Thank you, Jupi!!!
