Looked lovely but quite hard to really play. Still, quite interesting to see this kind of thing actually "functioning" - most c++->web stuff I've seen has been a fiasco either in performance or compatibility (or both).

I love how it looks. I'm not sure I understood how to play properly or how the controls exactly work
Beautiful but I didn't manage to play much. The keys don't seem to work (I'm on firefox).
I'll check that out for you Nomys. Might be different key codes or something D:
Sweet, I never thought I'd see anything made with openFrameworks in LD. I had a tough time with the camera at first - not sure if there's any advantage to moving it around really? I just locked it at the highest spot and played that way.
Yeah actually there's some camera automation code I turned off for the WebGL port, that takes the player to the top angle on game start... might turn that back on if camera was an issue @Gert! Cheers :D!
I did not succeed to start the game. The webgl context keep crashing when I click on the title screen.
From the screenshot, the shader reminds me a lot of this shader from Inigo Quilez : https://www.shadertoy.com/view/llj3Rz
But I don't see any credits for him. Have you really done this by yourself ? If not, you should at least credit the people that inspire you
Really cool graphics!! I think I'll look into openframeworks now!) The instruction dissapeared rather fast and I had to figure out what to do myself. I still don't understand if I really controlled something))
The keys were not working for me either (chrome). But the graphics were very pleasing to look at :)
The graphics and theme are really cool, but the control and play are quite hard to grasp
Looks amazing. It's mesmerizing just to keep looking all that stuff. I had a hard time trying to play it.
Blackhol Simulator 2016! :) The graphics are nice, I like the procedural look. Playing it is a bit hard, that is for sure, could not get more than zero point. But still nice. :)
As an usual player, got a great emotions from this amazing graphics! but rly hard to game in this
Alrighty, going to release a fix for some different browser keyboard codes, hopefully cover all bases, fingers crossed
A bit confusing to play but it is interesting.
It looks great. A bit hard to play. Would be nice to have some kind of introduction to the controlls ingame.
Very cool graphics!
Great graphics, but only twice was I able to hit the other particle.
This is quite a gorgeous game! Very great usage of WebGL!
REALLY loved the graphics. The game was a little difficult to grasp at first, but I loved it nonetheless.
I love the graphics and the idea gg =)
Really interesting concept, however performance was a killer for me
really hard! but interesting concept. looks like a black hole ;)
Looks cool, but overall couldn't figure out what to do or how to do it.
Okay just updated to fix some minor issues with higher frame rates making the game impossible, 144hz peoples should be able to play now. Also now 1080p version listed. If you have issues with Framerates (f) to see, run a lower resolution version, there is a lot of per pixel stuff going on, so lower the res may be your best bet.
Pretty game, but a bit hard to play.
Difficult to get started, but the visuals were brilliant.
Interesting project and nice graphical stuff. It was a bit hard to get the outcoming shapes, because they fly on highspeed out of the screen. But i think i get the game idea.
Beautiful visual. Unfortunately I found the gameplay to be somewhat confusing.
Nice Graphics , but how does it work ^^ Still guessing
A very unique entry, both in the visuals and gameplay, there's undoubtedly a ton of work here. It's quite an interesting experience trying to match orbits in order to get more points. Really impressive for a C++ OpenGL Ludum Dare creation, congratulations!
Original game with nice graphics!
The game is great, the gameplay is interesting, the idea behind it is new to me! And, of course, can't forget the graphics! Awesome overall!
Wow, what a cool concept. I died... over and over again, haha! Love to see people making something totally far-out!
Very difficult but absolutely beautiful. Could have done with some sound and something in-game to communicate the mechanics though.
Looked amazing but felt unplayable. Could not figure out what to do :/
Love the art style, but I had trouble actually plating the game. Part of that was the window losing focus when I tried to move the camera unfortunately. From what I was able to play, it seemed very slow-paced, with lots of waiting for stuff to happen? I figure that could've just been the controls not working.
Seriously great work on the look though!
Spin to win ;)
cool idea and mood, the orbit controls feels really unresponsive it's like you can't control at all the orbit and you have just to morph your shape
Nice visuals but I was pretty confused about the gameplay. Some more feedback on player actions would have been helpful.
lovely graphics!
stunning graphics, great artwork, although the game quite hard, is visually striking
Looks amazing, however the gameplay was bit too hard for me.
Just updated with Tablet Port Touch Screen controls (Tap 5 times center screen).
Fixed issue with Key Presses not ramping up orbit speed on some browsers (FireFox D:)
Added Numb Pad control for EU Keyboards (8=W,2=S,4=A,6=D)
Not sure what the point is but the graphics still look ok
nice job making this programmatically. I didnt have too much issue playing, though without sound my attention span is a little short :) was the Next Dimensional Shader added in as a little bonus?
Nice idea, probably could do with some sound though
@SHLFStudios - Yeah I'll make a Post-Compo version with proper music and sound effects. Just time got the best of me in shader work. I actually did that shader first to stretch my ES 2.0 shader skills. There is actually a bonus if you get a higher score than 100,000 or 1,000,000 with the end credits "next dimensional shader".
Quite hard at first, but after I 'understood' the controls it was getting easier. Beautiful graphics for a LD game. The idea of matching shape and orbit is implemented in an interesting way. Only thing I would think about is capping the orbitalspeed to something more manageable so that you at least have the chance to match each new shape. If the speed gets too high matching becomes very difficult. Very nice LD game!
Looks great, especially the morphing effects. Didn't really got into the gameplay though.
I love the aesthetics the game is super cool visually, the flash whenever you match like objects is a little offputting those, the first couple of times i did it i actually thought I had done something wrong! Other than that, really fun game.
Interesting, although the physics student in me wanted my orbit to vary in height with speed. Neat idea and great graphics.
The graphics were amazing, and with some music, this game could set an amazing mood. The gameplay was fun and intuitive. Great job!
Beautiful graphics, but the gameplay doesn't seem intuitive. Anyway, great job!! I think that with a bit of gameplay design, the game will be better!
I really liked the concept and the visuals, took a few minutes to figure out the controls, but after i got the
hang of it, it was easy to recieve a high score. Some shapes were impossible to catch due to overspeed tho.
Nicely done!
Such a gorgeous game. The gameplay is fine but those stunning visuals are really where this shines
Took me a bit to figure out what was going on. It's way too hard, after the first couple of pieces I get things flying out that requires me to orbit too fast to collide and switch controllably, IMO.
Looks fantastics, hard to master, you've to buy some patience if you don't want to throw everything away. Good entry
Kinda wish there was some audio but this was really fun and trippy to play (despite the occasional slowdown even on the lowest res available) plus I absolutely loved the shader work.
Wow, the graphics are incredible!
My Highscore is 38015, it's really difficult in high speed and I dont want slow down ^^"
Really cool idea! Good work :)
Absolutely beautiful! Orbit speed should do something with distance. Really liked the effects, edge, loading, glow...
REally nice game. I really liked that you interpeted time and space.
Great idea, very good game! Hard to play, and a bit boring, yes, but the visuals were great.
Absolutely gorgeous game and the mechanic feels real good to control. Got to be a little difficult too fast I think, but very fun nonetheless.
The graphics are nice and it worked really well for me. The game was a bit hard to understand in the beginning. But when you learned about the shapes and orbit stuff it became much easier. The game is actually pretty hard but I still enjoyed it. Nice entry!
Like the design. It was a bit tricky to understand the goal of the game and how the controls work.
Nice, loved the theme usage on this entry.
It is a little hard to get used to tbe gameplay, maybe some fine tuning on the controls can improve it ;)
Also, +1 for using openFrameworks and special bacon points for c++->web :D
I thought it was creative and fit the theme very well so I would say you could easly get pulled in (haha get it) to the games level of funness
It was a little tricky to play, but the raymarched graphics are really cool! Really cool that you used emscripten!
Love the graphics.
Nice graphics!
Unusual (but good) aesthetic. A bit confusing to play. Well done ++
Difficult but somewhat interesting. The look of the black hole is pretty dang cool, though.
This looks nice, but doesn't play very nicely. :-)
The game is a bit hard as it starts moving really fast after 3 levels. But the idea is nice :)
Awesome Game :) Love it
Great graphics and a good idea for the theme!
