The mood created is awesome :)
I would have liked to hear a recording of the poetry, since reading it was a bit hard.
Good job!

Cheers,

I liked the aesthetics you used in the game, particularly the Skybox use and the music. I liked the rail controls, although I'm not the best at them, but found the poetry writing impossible to read while playing. To me, not zen and relaxing at all! Fun, nonetheless!

Definitely shows a lot of potential as a game (that is if you plan to turn it to one; it works just fine as it is).

I imagine this would be an exquisite way to end a story (e.g. outro or credits sequence). Beautiful experience.

Cool concept. I also had trouble reading while playing

I like the mood and the aesthetics but I got all dizzy

I was able to kinda read it because I remember some narrator reading it, so it sounded in my head :) With more challenge added it's going to be a great game. For now, the coolest thing is seeing this 3D path all over the space. The idea of collecting words for the poem, or maybe "pieces of thought" or inspiration, this brings 5 stars for innovation from me.

Awesome concept! Loved that instead of score you collected words of a poem, great idea! Visuals were really nice and the music was lovely, great stuff :)

Thanks you all for your comments :) That give me a lots of motivation to make it better.

Can't play on windows, but looks cool!

While poem and game did no seem to connect, I liked both. Music was interestingly fitting both the visual stlye and the poem. Good job!

Reading while playing was difficult, maybe stretching out the collectibles or having a narrator read a piece the poem everytime a verse/sentence/unit is complete would get rid of that.

I liked the visuals and the idea, the poetry is rather hard to read. But lovely games.

Interesting mood, interesting idea, but it was hard to read and play. I'd put a sfx when the balls are caught too.

Had trouble reading a little however the whole premise was nice and relaxing. Great mood!
