bro this game is SUPERB, it is amazin!! good use of theme and personally i quite like the graphics (art style). this is a good game

ogniok 2016-04-19 01:12

Well thought game with a great mechanic system!

noro8 2016-04-19 01:12

The game looks REALLY, REALLY well, plays really well, feels well, and sounds well. The whole game is really good except that I got frustrated with the controls because they were challenging, but I think that's what you were going for and it worked. Overall good game.

I really love the graphics of this game! The gameplay is quite relaxing, but also requires focusing.
I got 10 rings in total before deciding that it was time to go to bed :)

aaranos 2016-04-19 01:21

I like the idea of it but god is it hard to control. I think I spent 10 minutes on it and only got 3 rings.

kutan74 2016-04-19 01:23

love the gameplay mechanics

corinator 2016-04-19 01:24

Absolutely fantastic! I love the sound design and movement mechanics!

wisedawn 2016-04-19 01:25

A cool art style and a very nice take on the QWOP style gameplay!

ghust1995 2016-04-19 01:27

Hey, very interesting game, the abstract art reminds the one I made. The controls are a little bit frustrating taking a little of the fun of the game.

danieldsj 2016-04-19 01:29

This is very original. I think it's the most innovative game I've seen so far. The mechanics are very interesting, but difficult to learn. Goal and consequences are not all that clear. Great job!

spotlightor 2016-04-19 01:33

wonderful game and worth to play.Love the art!

spotlightor 2016-04-19 01:45

The graphics are beautiful. Great work!

codeartisticninja 2016-04-19 01:52

Definitely an interesting game.. :D

kariamoss 2016-04-19 02:03

Really great! Graphics, audio, innovation... Awesome!
Maybe just the gameplay, too difficult to control the shape..

11schotter 2016-04-19 02:17

wonderful absurd gameplay, and one of the best audio LD35 games!

jofra 2016-04-19 02:20

I loved the mood and the graphics! Very unique mechaninic but a very hard one.

ponywolf 2016-04-19 02:21

Very nice. I have soem performance problems in full screen mode, but windowed it ran like a charm. Nice work!

edgeofcode 2016-04-19 02:23

Really great game!

auroratide 2016-04-19 02:24

Pretty cool idea, and nice use of the physics engine! Imagine if you had multiple people playing this at once, each with a different shape.

torcado194 2016-04-19 02:36

really really interesting!! i loved the mechanic. the sounds and visuals are great too. awesome game

ethanbierlein 2016-04-19 02:56

The ambiance in this game is very calming and relaxing. The mechanics are very unique and interesting as well.

bellum128 2016-04-19 03:22

The sounds were hilarious! :D

madmarcel 2016-04-19 03:29

Love the graphics. Controlling those things was freakin hard though.

peachtreeoath 2016-04-19 03:35

Great game, challenging but rewarding.

huminaboz 2016-04-19 03:44

Haha, this is great. QWOP 3D. The sound is great too, really goes with the atmosphere.

eric777 2016-04-19 05:04

Fantastic entry. The work you put into the level design really shows. Excellent concept, perfect with the theme. Audio was outstanding.

danoli3 2016-04-19 06:17

Awesome :D!

pestelcrew 2016-04-19 06:52

It is a really good game. Nice concept and realization. It's very hard but I like it. Art style is amazing too

headmade 2016-04-19 07:39

The mechanic is brilliant, I wonder of I could master the movement so I could actually control where I'm going, instead of me button mashing. Very pleasing aesthetics and sound scape. Great entry!

usonchen 2016-04-19 08:31

grate mechanic system

usonchen 2016-04-19 09:00

good physics system and like the color style. Except the confusing about the goal and force can be more significant

otixa 2016-04-19 09:13

Really good looking. Loved the sounds and it's pretty fun

varuns 2016-04-19 09:55

The WebGL build takes forever to load. Nice visuals!

arnage 2016-04-19 10:56

Love that you switch between such unique shapes.

I did manage to fall out of the world, though I could continue playing with the other shapes :)

anikki 2016-04-19 11:11

Interesting idea, but very frustrating to play.

palys 2016-04-19 11:15

Finished whole game. I loved it, but some shapes are too unpredictable. Flying cross rules!

caporaltito 2016-04-19 12:09

Weird and amazing.

recursiveanomaly 2016-04-19 14:04

The game really shows off that it is something different right away! I feel like the controls are intentionally frustrating, which adds to the mood, but takes away from the fun for me. Great job!

pickensincorporated 2016-04-19 14:39

Insanely hard, might be because I'm a tad colourblind ^^.
Really innovative, challenging concept, cute implementation :)

cabezotta 2016-04-19 14:41

Probably one of the best games i've played so far! Very original use of the theme! Awesome job!

santiandrade 2016-04-19 15:54

An inteligent and original use of the theme!! Really good!!

jeroenwimmers 2016-04-19 16:06

Such a weird game :D
I like the "CHICKIWOB" sound. and actually the whole sound sound design. did you do anything special to produce them?

calmkai 2016-04-19 16:32

Good game!

pss 2016-04-19 17:08

What a delightful yet frustrating experience. Spent a good 23 minutes collecting all the rings. It would be easier to see where things are (depth-wise) if the shapes would cast shadows. Great work anyhow!

dallengd 2016-04-19 18:21

The atmosphere is great, feels mysterious and the sound design is just right. You weren't afraid to try something different but I have to admit i got frustrated with the controls and mechanics. I couldn't finish the game or feel that I mastered the controls.

omlette-du-fromage 2016-04-19 18:34

I had quite a bit of fun playing this. There are some shapes I prefer over others but it was enjoyable. It felt a bit more like a toy than an actual game, but it didn't diminish the fun. Loved the calm mood and the funny sounds the items made.

arvydas 2016-04-19 18:57

The audio and 3d UI animations is that polish that I love! Original an innovative, why I didint think about moving rigidbodies by pushing other rigidbodies it for this LD?!

bacontree 2016-04-19 19:10

Sick! :)

josemwarrior 2016-04-19 19:15

One of the most original puzzles of the compo, my congrats!! :D

blobo 2016-04-19 19:39

This was amazing! I found it a lt of fun to mash buttons and go launching into the sky.

mkghoster 2016-04-19 21:57

I don't know what I've played but did for a certain period of time! :D

waveformmodulations 2016-04-19 22:45

Very cool concept, liked the graphics and was fun having multiple things to control.

sojabird 2016-04-19 23:15

Really well though concept and nice looking art, the mood is there with the audio.

almax27 2016-04-19 23:58

Graphics are well done and great thought up concept! Found it funny on collecting the 10th ring if the object is on a certain angle and press the controls, it will forever keep going up in the air, Loved it!

medidog 2016-04-20 06:13

It takes so much time to get every ring but it is really fun and love all the different shapes in the game :) Well done guys!

fullmontis 2016-04-21 09:57

Excellent graphical style, and I like that you have so many different forms to choose from. The controls are terrible, I know it is on purpose but makes up for a frustrating gameplay, and yet it is auite interesting to fiddle with.

pixelgriffin 2016-04-21 11:17

Really unique idea, loved every bit of it!

01101101 2016-04-21 12:13

Really good-looking game with a pretty original mechanic.
The overall mood is great, with those sounds and ambient music, very unique.
The only thing that bothered me was the controls choices: I can't have my fingers on 1-2-3-4 and reach the Shift key at the same time, unless I use both hands but then I can't use the mouse.
You guys did an amazing job anyway, congrats!

apantaloni 2016-04-22 22:59

Very interesting. Playing around with the various shapes is fun. The sound effects are great and the background music fits the experience. Some of the shapes are pretty hard to control properly, but I guess that's the point. Well done!

2016-04-25 08:04

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

axoona 2016-04-25 11:59

very innovative! The concept is interesting and the approach to the theme.
I really liked the music and sounds

2016-04-27 16:32

Hi, nice game! Love the sound effects and the colors you chose x)

I've made a short let's play video, if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhA7TvR1m1w

mementogames 2016-04-29 01:05

Awesome entry! Very charming!
I found the controls a little bit "out of control".

thecain 2016-05-04 00:32

I will never beat this, but it was fun to try.
Good job. Very well polished.

saintheiser 2016-05-07 07:25

Very good entry! Love the idea!
