Very cool, love the polished presentation and the risk/reward style of the gameplay. Simple but effective.

nice

Liked the simple gameplay. The music and visuals tied together very nicely! I didn't feel like I found the 'fun' per say, but I think it scratched the 'If i keep playing this I'll get better' itch that makes me want to keep on playing.

Simple design that works - nice.

Hey, not bad. Very simple but good.

awesome, clever use of physics, fun and creative, good job :)

Had a bit of trouble figuring out how enemies react to the size of the core. But otherwise I like the concept.

very cool game, looks very nice

What a neat idea! I found you could get pretty far just leaving the scale at max AKA max rotational speed. With a bit of logic, you could have the AI out smart that tactic. Pretty impressive nonetheless

Awesome! Imagos's own Vanessa has taken to calling this "the birth control game" while Imagos's own Don has invented the term "scrabbin' points" to describe the act of getting points by evading the daggar triangles of doom.

Awesome entry, and awesome use of the two button theme!

Also, wicked music!

Wow simple but very fun game :)

Nice and original use of the theme.

I really like the font and artstyle you're using, looks polished and it's fun to play.

Creative and simple, yet still a solid entry. Nice job

Interesting gameplay premise! I had a nice time with it and think this was a cool and unique idea

Cool game, but I didn't really feel like there was much I could actually do to stop them, because by the time I could see them, it was too late.

Very nice simple game. Polished as well. Also, I liked the graphics style.

This is absolutely fantastic. One of the best game's I've played this jam. You've got a unique, simple mechanic that has a surprising amount of depth -- changing size to dodge enemies, trading greater spin speed at the risk of having an enemy touch your larger size, timing the spinning to hit enemies. Really awesome, with an impressive degree of mastery possible.

I hope you keep working on this -- maybe adding new enemies, ways to regain health, etc. Great job!

A nice game ! Not as easy as it looks !

Fun little game. Super simple but fun

kerdelos 2016-01-01 16:27

The graphics are simple but neat and the idea is cool and the game respond well. But I feel the game is a bit too random and that since i can't predict the ennemies trajectory, it's a bit hard to adapt my size.

dregamr 2016-01-02 11:17

Very interesting game. Nice job!

Very fun, I had a great time trying to beat my high score which is a great hook. Found it a nice simple little game to play! Great stuff!
