Fun game, I liked your take on the two button theme. Hitting 'enter' to restart after a game over would be nice. Other than that nicely done, I enjoyed it.

Love the background!

Paying attention to both sides and keeping the balls in sync while avoiding enemies was a lot of fun. Interesting idea.

The gameplay gets intense.... but kind of twitchy.

Nice game though.

Neat concept! Pretty fun

Great implementation of both themes and an original concept. However, it doesn't fit my slightly smaller resolution (1366*768), and a replay button would be nice.

That is mental! It's so hard to keep one in a holding pattern when you need to maneuver the other. It feels like a brain training exercise almost more than a game. Clever use of the theme.

Awesome concept! Trying to coordinate both sides is really challenging and fun.

The background effect with the noise is also very cool when you see it in movement, with fitting colours for the balls and the middle area it might feel pretty trippy.

Well done!

Hard controls but good idea. Its the kind of fame which needs super duper music i think

Crikey, this feels much the same way learning the drums did. Brain not cut out for this :) Well implemented though. I thought the "try it now" thing at the beginning was a nice touch btw.

Man that background gets to you after a while, nice application of Perlin noise though. You might have coincidentally found a great way of making people motion sick though lol. Challenging gameplay, it takes some practice to get good at watching both sides and finding a path. Good job!

Really cool idea of having to hold down both movement buttons to get any movement!

Really fun game and very addictive. Perfect use of theme. Good job!!

Really great game! Surprisingly deep gameplay patterns for a simple concept. Can't wait to see where you'll take it from here!

Pro:
+ Great concept
+ Awesome background noise
+ Gets really intense
Con:
- Some graphical effects in the objects would be great, also some music, but then I'm asking too much on a compo xp
Obs:
o A restart button would be nice

Great entry!

This would be fun if my daughter was around to share the keyboard, I'm sure we would die very quickly...!

Interesting concept with the different layouts on each side... Made it much more fun and challenging...

Great challenging concept to couple both balls. Would be great to have some audio to improve the mood.

Interesting twist on two-button theme. It certainly takes some brain power to watch both sides and remember to press both buttons to move them.

At first I thought I was supposed to pick up some of the balls, but apparently all of them were bad. It would have made the gameplay more interesting if some of them had some positive effect. Anyway, the game is challenging as it is, and you could definitely work more on this concept.

Interesting mechanic to have the dual controls. Nice background.

I liked how you used the theme! Nice game, hard, but quite fun! good job!
