Pretty cool concept! very difficult for me though :P

pierrec 2014-12-08 07:54

Can't rate(because I didn't take part) but this is amazing. My favorite so far (Ok, I played like 10 games, but still!)

2014-12-08 08:04

Not bad. Very easy to play. Perhaps have the numbers 1 through 4 have the shapes change and have diferent shapes coming at you. Then you could market it as an autism app and make heaps ;)

thescragglyman 2014-12-08 14:36

I really love the concept!! Found it quite difficult to play :D

c2v4 2014-12-08 16:07

I don't believe in first screenshot :) It's too difficult to do that :) Very nice idea. Requires a lot of multitasking to play it. I think I am too underslept to play this game. Great idea

maesk 2014-12-08 16:09

Great idea! Pretty hard though. Nice graphics and sound, it does not need more. Good work.

marcellus 2014-12-08 20:39

Very hard ! I wonder if you took that full rose screenshot without cheating

simonchauvin 2014-12-08 22:25

Thanks a lot everyone.
You are right, the screenshot of the full rose was not taken during gameplay, it's misleading. BUT, it seems so obvious now, it should be possible to actually reach the final form. I don't know how I haven't thought of it earlier. I'm gonna make a post compo that will remember fully aligned and activated branches and make them stick.

rabbit 2014-12-08 22:38

Cool concept, but at times I was very confused as to what was happening.

sh1rogane 2014-12-08 22:40

Fun game. Really hard. Is manageable until the third "row" starts coming then my brain just melts :P

okkolobr 2014-12-08 22:41

Kind of hypnotic. Would be relaxing with other sounds !

geckoo1337 2014-12-08 22:42

I really love the concept!! Found it quite difficult in order to play. It's really original. Well done ++

gsg 2014-12-08 22:42

Awesome concept! Really liked the idea and spent the best part of 30mins on it haha. One thing i wasn't too keen on was the audio, but other than that great job!

tudd 2014-12-08 22:42

Aaaahhh I can't get past level 2!! Very hard. The white triangles were very blurry on my computer.

On my first try I tried matching the red triangle to the white ones, and that wasn't very interesting. Glad I read the directions :)

cxsquared 2014-12-08 23:00

Really neat idea. The sound effects really added to the mood of the game. I really like it.

simonchauvin 2014-12-08 23:01

@tudd I saw that too on a friend's computer I don't know why it's made with Unity and uses high res sprites it shouldn't be blurry.

@All I'll make a post compo very soon, you'll be able to actually finish the game and it should be simpler too.

Thanks again everyone.

ponk 2014-12-08 23:06

Kind of hard but it's really nice !
Really hypnotizing

fonserbc 2014-12-09 09:49

Really hard as you start getting levels, but great concept!

elendow 2014-12-09 10:05

Cool concept and very hard, I like it!

littlethor 2014-12-09 11:02

Ok, I really really love your game... This is totally hypnotic and addictive. Great concept and I love this minimalist atmosphere.
Aweseome work!

charlesque 2014-12-09 11:07

Love the concept and the graphics.

dieblume86 2014-12-09 18:32

Great game.

gnutek 2014-12-09 18:33

Great game! I could see this on touchscreen devices where you rotate the four rings with your fingers :) Has a kind of more relaxing and less hectic (although definatelly not easier) Super-Hexagon vibe.

boaheck_artgent 2014-12-09 19:14

I enjoyed it. The graphics are smooth, the sound is nicely integrated, and it presents a fun challenge, if a bit too chalengeing maybe.

wilbefast 2014-12-09 19:19

Your extra constraints are and interesting addition, and they're well-used. I couldn't manage to get my head around the game though, my foundations keep falling apart as quickly as I can build them :S

lynx 2014-12-10 05:15

Not much to say other than calming, and well made and as a graphic designer, I enjoy the art style a lot.

simonchauvin 2014-12-10 09:24

Thank you everyone for playing. It gives me games to play too :)
@willbefast with a bit of dedication it's possible to actually be good at it. But I admit it's too hard. Sorry about that :)

amour-maternel 2014-12-10 18:15

Very cool game! Maybe slow the level completed but DON'T freeze them, the flower being whimsical is great.

tomvert 2014-12-10 19:15

Extremely stylish game, really too fast for me, but I appreciate the overall polish. Also I like the constraints you added !

adventureislands 2014-12-10 19:20

Nice game, pretty creative. Gets pretty darn hard for me but I enjoyed it.

meedoc 2014-12-10 21:28

Excellent concept and game, even if it becomes quite hellish in the end! I gave up before getting my rose sadly :( but I'll try again later

jaymfernandes 2014-12-10 21:37

Cool concept and really fun game! Took me a second to understand the controls and it got really hard but it's great!

threstle 2014-12-11 09:38

Very cool! I really like the minimalistic graphics. It's quite challenging!

jpmit 2014-12-11 11:09

Really interesting idea. Too difficult for me, but I suspect that is deliberate.

metalchouchen 2014-12-11 17:52

Cool concept :)and nice art! Good job!

maxyan 2014-12-12 10:51

Nice concept, good job.

camlang 2014-12-12 14:12

Cool concept. Really hard to do rose like on the first screenshot.

kalaskrysset 2014-12-12 14:42

Different and cool idea. Very challanging! Not always easy to know which part you were controlling.

soulgame 2014-12-12 15:23

I like the idea. Hard to achieve. In fact i think you can't beat the game because petals appear constantly at same rate so it seems to be too hard to complete all ranges.
Neat and simple graphics let a well sophisticated feeling.

simonchauvin 2014-12-12 16:35

Thank you for playing and for your comments!

I'm glad you can appreciate the game despite its difficulty :)

sk16games 2014-12-14 17:18

Wow, very creative idea, love the way the audio is a part of the game as well. A bit hard though...

ryannielson 2014-12-15 15:52

Fantastic game, great concept that starts out super easy and gets pretty tough at a nice rate. The art is simple, but fits the aesthetic perfectly. The only suggestion I'd have is to make it so that it's more apparently a white triangle is coming up under a red one.

Well done!

maniulo 2014-12-15 16:26

Wow, this is awesome! My head kinda hurts after playing it, but still!

urbanlogicgames 2014-12-15 17:37

Very interesting mechanic, pretty hard though! I wonder if once a circle is complete there should be a way to lock it in, at least temporarily? Nice graphical presentation and sound design. Very impressive.

leaden 2014-12-16 10:35

This is good idea itself to create something beautiful like flower. Not another shooting, killing, destroying..

lion 2014-12-16 20:21

It could be useful to paste the description also on the itch.io page, but nice concept and look !

lereveur 2014-12-16 21:46

Nice concept, but really hard game. It would be better if the whole rose was turning, than only one level, or that a completed level gives bonus, like stopping white triangles on this level for a while.
But I guess the hard is part of the game. ;)

ithildin 2014-12-16 22:38

Brilliant idea. The game gets a bit challenging after a while as you change between levels while trying not to lose any red triangles, but that's part of the charm. Congrats!

aglavra 2014-12-17 00:02

I got it after a while.. partially. The controls are too indirect, so it is difficult to find out what key has what function exactly. Will try to finish it later, though. I liked the style of the game.

aglavra 2014-12-17 00:04

Mistakenly commented instead of another entry, sorry. (Comment was addressed to game Siddhachakra). Your looks very impressive too.

xanjos 2014-12-17 02:03

Surprisingly very hard but I like the concept a lot and it definitely has that just one more try feel to it.

taro 2014-12-17 04:16

Too difficult, can't multi-task well. Can't maintain more than 2 levels.

nicepenguins 2014-12-26 19:03

Great multi-tasking game. It's a little bit too messy for me, but with more practice (and a controller) i think it can be are really fun game !

pht59x 2014-12-29 20:09

Very original idea. Good sound effects. The only problem I found was that the game made the mouse cursor disappear.
