Lovely game! I just think that scrolling the wheel get's a little tiring from time to time (love the idea of using it though!).

Perhaps using both mouse buttons or the X of the mouse when clicking would be better?

Very original input scheme! The art and music is also nice. Level was a bit hard to get around in.

Chrome version fails to launch with a javascript exception pop up

Cool game!

Pros:
-Cool just to spare time
-Really fun mechanic
-Never seen a mouse-wheel control :P

Cons:
-The theme could've been displayed better
-Lack of objective

Really nice! Pretty cool "Handrawn" Simplistic Graphics.

Interesting mechanic and it works surprisingly well. The physics also made this more fun.

I did get tired of spinning the wheel so much however and a backup control system with keyboard (left/right keys) would have been nice.

Nice work!

I'd be nice to include keyboard controls too... I don't have a mousewheel on my laptop!

The mouse wheel didn't work for me. I'm on a MacBook and have a wireless mouse.

imdigitaljim 2015-08-24 03:53

Very unique controlling system. I enjoyed it =)

Felt like cheating since my mouse has an unlockable wheel, but it sure made it fun. It's definitely a great start to something, with enough content and polish I could see this becoming something akin to katamari.

This is a blast to play with a free spinning weighted mouse wheel. I think this is the first time I have seen this type of control. Really well executed. Top marks for innovation. The music is well done too. Super neato.

Took a while to get used the control scheme, but the idea is actually pretty damn cool. I think the physics worked really well for the controls as well.

"use mouse wheel" - *looks at laptop touchpad* *cries*

littlethor 2015-08-24 12:54

Very nice and unusual concept.
I really loved the way you linked sound and wheel speed.
Nice work!

holyblackcat 2015-08-24 15:54

Nice idea! And I really liked the physics and 'main character'. :D

multiplexor 2015-08-24 23:05

I like a lot the controls! It's quite original! The game itself is nice,

Maybe a final objective other than gathering score would be nice, or maybe put some traps so you can die.

Really liked it :)

laddo-d 2015-08-24 23:09

cool controls

arskiainen 2015-08-24 23:10

The gameplay novelty blew me away. For a good couple minutes. Scrolling is hard work.

mantis 2015-08-24 23:12

Really neat take on the theme!

obvious_san 2015-08-25 12:31

I don't see the theme, but great idea : ) Also really fun to play for a while!

snooze82 2015-08-25 17:18

Love the idea - and I have a infite-scrolling-wheel \o/ Like the slow-down of the audio.

a_k_ 2015-08-25 18:20

Game starts but I'm not running after. Web version on safari/mozilla

shimage 2015-08-25 23:40

I really enjoyed. It was comfortable that a wheel moves along a line. I got 86pt in 354 time. Very fun!

felipeddest 2015-08-26 00:48

This is I call innovation...

raducumiczzz 2015-08-26 15:44

Art and music are cool. Love the idea behind the game. Congratulations

ireal 2015-08-27 11:00

Wow, I thought that was really clever, well done!

nnnnneeeedddd 2015-08-27 16:17

I really liked the idea of the scroll wheel. The game was altogether very fun to play. My only problem with it, was near the end, I had loads of little guys standing around, and it got really laggy.

cheesyramen 2015-08-27 17:56

Pretty interesting with your choice of input! I really enjoyed playing it using my mouse scroll!

crunchykingcrimson 2015-08-27 22:28

That's pretty innovated, I'm glad I have a scrollwheel. It's like some weird version of pinball, pretty addictive.

sorlok 2015-08-28 02:57

Fun and interesting! Decent mechanics; never seen a scroll wheel used for primary motion before!

daveh 2015-08-28 03:00

Really innovative control scheme. It worked wonderfully and has a zen-like quality to the gameplay. Good work!

jishenaz 2015-09-05 23:57

I enjoyed rolling around the platforms with only the mouse wheel! I also liked the sound effects.

However, if you play long enough, the people seem to multiply quickly and slows down the game a lot. But that only happens after playing the game for about 10 minutes.

I did like that the health was integrated into the player and the colors change among the people when they want to throw a bomb.

Nice work!
