Clever gameplay.

Took me a while to understand the controls and the gameplay...
Clever gameplay.
A pretty intresting take on physics. It fits theme well, graphics are good, but 4th level seems to be impossible.
Very cool game. I like the gameplay controlls you´ve came up with. Good level design, and overall a nice game.
Liked the basic game idea. The controls are very smooth! Congratz on that! A blasting soundtrack would have been great! To make me adivtive to the game a highscore would also be nice.
really dig the control and aesthetic, really fun and challenging
Played it from the beginning to the end. Fun game. Great solution to the problem of not having a jump key!
Really interesting, i like it!
It's simple, but challenging :)
It feels a tad bit slow on the edges.
The physics are so confusing....
I really dig the minimalistic art style here.
However, it really feels like you tried to force a design that probably needs at least 3 buttons into a 2 button control scheme rather than building a game that works best with 2 buttons.
nice, entertaining and challenging
Couldn't get the game to start; arrow keys didn't seem to work.
Fun.
Up to level 3, you can roll your way up the walls.
Level 4 is the level where you either quit, or find out about the undocumented control.
Bit confusing at first to get used to the controls but didn't take too long. Once i figured it out and once you added obstacles, this became a ton of fun really quickly!
Finished all 8 levels, number 7 gave me so much trouble haha, but it's awesome.
While playing i imagined i was some kind of little spaceship flying through a cave or something. I think this game could do really well if you add a few more mechanics to it!
Really cool puzzle game. It would help if the switching blocks would indicate that they are about to change (like flicker or something)
What I liked:
- Controls feel wonderful and responsive
- Well designed and effective levels
- Simple but nice visual style
- Runs very well in the browser
What could be improved (IMO):
- An explanation of how there are actually three ways to push the controls would be nice (took me a while to figure it out)
- More levels (of course this is unreasonable given the time restriction, but there's so much potential here).
Excellent work.
Great game! Eventually got too hard, but I think I'll come back to it later :)
Wasn't able to play, kept getting "Unable to initialize 3D settings".
It's not clear that you can hit left and right and the difficulty, in my opinion, rises too fast. Otherwise, the game itself feels quite responsive (even if I personally find the physics weird) and it runs pretty well.
Challenging little game. Reminds me of flywrench a bit. Great job.
Really nice concept, would make a great mobile game :P
That was very fun. Controls and physics were really great, although I wish it also had wasd support so I could give my right hand a rest. Very addictive.
Fun addictive and frustrating. Dynamic of floating up automatically when you move was very smart and the graphics are simple but nice and softly rendered.
Interesting controls, very tricky but innovative and fun once I got the hang of it. Well done
Some levels remind me of geometry dash.
Solid
The hovering mechanic is very cool.
hey smart idea with the left and right also pushing up!, the lines and graphics looks so clean and crisp. Level 5 was just, no. very hard, took a bunch of tries to get past the circles. I made it! woohoo, nice game. The movement is just right for a tense skill game. good work!
I like how natural the controls felt once I understood what they did. Excellent work on the physics!
Fun game! nice puzzles! I liked the graphics, it reminds me of math class :-)
Enjoyed the game, not sure if I was missing something but I felt rolling up the walls was slow.
Very well made and quite hard game. I got to the end, but was close to giving up at an early stage. I would recommend easing up the difficulty acceleration in the early part a bit. The first level that introduces the red blocks is rather hard for someone still struggling to manage the controls. Equally so with the up and down moving balls, quite a bit to get through especially since they are moving vertically and thus when the player pushes a button to move past them the player will go up a bit and before you are used to it, timing it is really difficult. I wish there had been some music to it though. And finally, if you make left-side of screen go left and right-side to right, then you have yourself a mobile game!
I beat it. Well done! A little bit of a test of hand-eye coordination, but that doesn't make it not fun. I think the dashed lines in the background made it a lot easier to figure out where each button press would land you.
Great job! I played it to the end and it was very fun to deal with the controls! The graphics and sounds totally fit to the game! Give it a soundtrack and more levels and this could get a good complete game!
Neat game, challenging but fun to play. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/Fm6iQk47yZ0
A really good project - one of my favorites for this 34th LD session. The physics at start is a little bit strange, but after a while this game becomes really addictive. I want more levels. Thank you ++
OMG! So difficult! took me forever to complete level 7! great job!
The gameplay fell weird at first, but after sometimes it became prety precise. The level 7 was a bit too hard for me. The game was realy fun, challengind and rewarding. Keep up the good work !
Very fun! Loved the last level!
