Ouch that was brutal :) Very atmospheric and has the potential to be a relaxing game if it was just a little bit easier. I get stuck on the level with 4 orbs and a pulsating green circle that doesn't seem to kill me. It seems impossible... Maybe there's something I'm not getting?

I spent way to long playing this! I'm not sure if this was intentional but after a few seconds the mouse courser would disappear. Also I could never actually finish the levels the way they were supposed to be done, I always went behind the circles :P.
Absolutely loved it!
Fun and very hard game. Great sound.

Wow that game was hard. I got to the end (most of the time by going what seemed like an unintended route behind the orbs). I would have put an easier levels at the start because I did feel like I was thrown in at the deep end.
I tried to do a no deaths run but got frustrated because as your known problem says on the later levels the triangle tries to zoom towards the mouse when you just finish a level often causing a death you cant help.
Very nice backgroung music and sounds, but, yeah, like you said, very hard haha, i like it, i just dont have the skills haha
Very nicly done game. but i have a problem where my mouse goes invisible and it's really hard to play :c. Otherwise really good :)

a bit frustrating for me, but maybe I misunderstood something in the control ?
I'm unable to get past "gotta go fast". Would be easier if mouse cursor didn't disappear after few seconds into level, and I'm not sure how it makes for a feature. Regardless, biggest problem I see is the theme. Not sure which one it's supposed to represent.

The not so hard edition was still super hard.
Music restarting on every reset was quite annoying.
And I would've preferred if the triangle was just directly tied to mouse movement rather than having to click/hold.
I absolutely love the sounds you have here. Great job! :)
Very challenging game! Good job.

A bit too frustrating for me! Making the music reset after dying is pretty annoying :/ Keep it up!

Fun game, very difficult!
Oh. that was a hard game :)
couldn't get past the first level. I must be lame. good idea. Needed to start easier and draw you into the game.

I quite liked this. The game was very challenging and made me want to beat it. The sounds matched the simplistic style and mood of the game.

no kidding, it's not easy.
I think from a technical viewpoint not capturing the mouse in the web version would have made it a bit better experience. But it totally was playable.
I like, that you used the grow theme not on the playable character but on the obstacles :)

cute but challenging game, aesthetically pleasant, but the gameplay needs some improvement, especially the super sensitive collision detection.
The level design was very odd.
Difficult but man that music was intense. Really great concept, very enjoyable entry.

Wow, that was hard! Got stuck on the fourth level. Good fun though, enjoyed it!
Really loved the difficulty level - the music was good but I got sick of the first two notes very quickly. Left myself at the beginning of a level so I could appreciate more of it. A really cool concept, and I could see it going far as a mobile game. The graphical style was simple but neat, there were some nice visual touches like the trail. Though frustrating at times, it was very enjoyable to play.
Very hard and very addictive, could have used a slower learning curve as I'm awful at this type of game. Well done, nice entry.
