Amazing. Best audio so far.

munchy2007 2016-04-18 22:18

Interesting concept, however personally I found the camera jerking to the music beat was just too distracting.

Also you may want to indicate that it doesn't work on Internet explorer, at least it doesn't for me anyway.

Great music though.

nihilaleph 2016-04-19 00:56

Great concept! Though the camera movement made me a bit dizzy, like at the beginning of Soul Trumpet song.

Awesome work!

edgeofcode 2016-04-19 13:13

Really good - I loved how the sides move with the music

miznoruri 2016-04-19 20:36

Reminds me AudioSurf. Really beautiful art. Nice job!

ludumanthony 2016-04-19 20:37

Great concept and execution, however with the "shapeshifting" mechanic, jumping is almost useless. Jumping should leave you in the air a little longer because it's hard to tell where you are jumping from and where you will be jumping to. Other than that, very fun to play and makes me want to bookmark the page!

41050 is my best score so far (Sex Whales & Fraco Dead to me was the song).

joshsimard 2016-04-19 20:42

Awesome! Simple concept, but the music and art really fit together

torcado194 2016-04-19 20:55

great audio! and interesting gameplay. could be built upon more though

carlospidox 2016-04-19 20:57

Really nice game

sudorossy 2016-04-19 20:57

"Part One" backwards? :P

Awesome game, really like it!

banana-hammers 2016-04-19 20:58

I didn't really get the connection between the changing color of the cube and the gameplay, if there was any connection.
I really like music-based games :)
The effect of camera moving back and forth based on music was quite interesting.
Good job!

Fun game. The way the environment reacts to the music is pretty cool.
However, I don't understand the relation to the theme in this game.

theck 2016-04-19 21:02

Great idea and game but poor interpretation (gameplay wise) of the theme. Great work anyways :D

asturk 2016-04-19 21:05

Well, this game sure has some very good audio, and this mixed with the mechanic is really well done! The game is very fun, but i think you should made some other kinds of obstacles too to bring some more diversity to gameplay, and about the theme, give some more "shapeshift" to other elements or even the player, only the level is kind of following the theme, but it is still oks. The game is great through, good job!

bogdan-tana 2016-04-19 21:09

It's fun, but it feels like I'm getting 'blueballed' when I die.

I mean the first track is an exceptional choice for the mood it transmits, but it feels extremely punishing to one-shot-kill the music.

I'm surprised you've taken out the 'graphics' and 'mood' voting options.

Anyway, groovy take on the theme:D

ryannielson 2016-04-20 02:34

Great looking game, and a very interesting idea. The first track is a great choice as well to set the mood. I only wish it wasn't as punishing with the 1 hit kill gameplay.

pomb 2016-04-20 08:22

Nice look and feel, awesome audio, but to be honest it's really jarring when you die and the music just stops. Great entry!

marod 2016-04-20 08:23

The audio is the best, nice overall, it remembered me to audiosurf

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-20 08:34

Reminds me a simplified audiosurf, the cube color should affect the gameplay somehow.

demane_f 2016-04-20 11:44

Well.. still looking for the gameplay and the shapeshifting. But cool graphics !

insality 2016-04-20 11:46

Amazing! Great trance music based game. I love it and cant judge objective. Great job! 10/10 )

obsessivenotion 2016-04-20 11:50

The music makes the game feel 10x better :D

anaguilefdez 2016-04-20 12:05

Great game. It is a pity we can vote on graphics, they are beautiful even being minimalistic. Though I don't see the theme

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-20 13:41

Thanks everyone! I do understand that game has little if no relationship with the theme, thus the "theme judging" is removed. Sidenote: Game IS hard, but you still have a choice of selecting "Easy" if you just want a soothed musical experience rather than action, like I said, your choice. Another sidenote: I also added graphics and mood judging options, since all of you wanted to vote that as well lol. Again, thanks y'all for voting and have fun!

suurin 2016-04-20 16:51

I enjoy those kind of games and this one was no exception.

nextreality 2016-04-20 17:20

The graphics for this game are beautiful, really love the sound bars as walls, and the movement of the camera all help to enforce the rhythm of this game! Very pretty, and enjoyable, good work!

giordanno92 2016-04-20 17:41

Very nice entry! Loved the colors and it plays very smoothly in the browser. Also, cool compilation of music. too bad we can't vote for audio, nice job anyway! I also made a rhythm game for compo with one original music, but only 2D. I would like to hear something from you, will ya!

mieeh 2016-04-20 19:15

Great! Loved the feel and the music. Maybe the camera was a little to distracting with the beating and shaking sometimes. Other than that i enjoyed this game alot.

sir-magic 2016-04-20 20:10

Good game, good audio too

neondx 2016-04-20 21:33

awesome looks!

freeloader 2016-04-20 22:55

Dude that's a very cool toolset, props for the creativity

casualcat 2016-04-21 06:35

Music is amazing, espescially TRNDSETTER. I love the visuals, clean but really pretty. I like the pace being changed by the music, sometimes it kinda got outta hand. The controls felt nice and responsive, but the jumping was pretty useless and often the gap through two spikes was almost impossible with all the camera movements. Really great game but I would maybe add more variation in the obstacles and give the spawning for layers and form.

grooveman 2016-04-21 07:21

The graphics and music implementation is really great! The gameplay is simple and tight, though it's actually pretty hard to judge jumping over things.

Also, when compared to other rhythm games (in particular Audiosurf), failing upon a single mistake and having to start over is quickly frustrating. You want to at least hear the whole song!

diebackstudios 2016-04-21 07:49

amazing audio work gameplay reminded me of smash it

khanatos 2016-04-21 14:23

The soundtrack is a wise desition. It fits perfect to the game. I didn“t know the group.

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-21 15:35

All right everyone, I see everybody got angered by the jumping mechanism (I feel ya!). But here's an interesting thing: When you actually jump you don't get pushed forward, you land on the same place. Considering that the speed of camera increases with time, after 30 seconds or so when you jump you will get pushed further. Just watch me doing it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdaPUCc4_eM

And yes, jumping is HARD I get it don't kill me plz lol

riseandshinegames 2016-04-21 18:27

This is amazing!

itay2805 2016-04-21 18:31

Amazing! It is nice you used the sound the change the speed!

josemorval 2016-04-21 19:04

The art and music fit very well together. Nice job!

hempuli 2016-04-21 20:11

Really neat! It was fun to play the game and the visuals were really pleasing to the eye, but I found the jumping to be extremely precise and thus didn't really want to use it. My score was 30500.

maekeruu 2016-04-22 08:13

MUSIC gAMEEE!!!!!!!!!
oh my-- I've always loved music games... so will this... :> one of the best i've seen so far :D graphics is so soothing to the eyes... nice choice of colors.. :D

it's like geometry dash... I suggest adding more variations in progression and obstacles because it gets pretty repititive especially when i am waiting for the next obstacle, it takes too long haha... diversity would make this game reallll awesome just with just a bit more dev time...

fafastudio 2016-04-22 10:33

Wow! Awesome idea and very polish game, pretty graphics, good mood , good job !

santiandrade 2016-04-22 14:18

Great music! I like games with spheres and cubes but I hope you develop your idea with better graphics in the future ;)

mintarcade 2016-04-22 14:55

Well done game. Love it.

herszkorn-sacha 2016-04-22 15:15

Nothing to do with the theme, but it's so chill and relax. the great surprise was to discover how hard it is, maybe just push forwards on jump and that would be perfect as hell. Audio is amazing too definitly gonna save the soundcloud haha !

avinashd 2016-04-22 17:20

Really cool game and I understand the interpretation of the theme, but the level could have changed more with the music. Still, lots of fun!

siryakko 2016-04-22 19:34

Yeah i love music games, i'd love to be able to do one.

xanjos 2016-04-22 20:10

Absolutely loved the use of audio in this entry.

herszkorn-sacha 2016-04-22 22:26

I can't stop playing your game with the second soundtrack !

kairosxiii 2016-04-22 23:26

This would make a great music based theme. I just want to keep hearing the song!

herszkorn-sacha 2016-04-23 09:37

I can't stop playing your game with the second soundtrack !

zoeinfp 2016-04-23 16:16

Very nice!

drazil100 2016-04-23 18:51

can you make it change songs?

iceburg7 2016-04-23 20:50

Great work! I love the polish, and the game gets surprisingly fun when you get into the groove of it.

pickensincorporated 2016-04-23 22:07

Camera might need a little work, but for an LD game, this is great, and I really liked it. The songs were brilliant, the algorithm was super cool, and definitely evoked a very "Audiosurf" vibe. Great job!

fin_nolimit 2016-04-23 22:12

I hate dying because the MUSIC is so awesome!!! That was a great game!!! Nice work

luvshape 2016-04-24 15:57

Really well done graphically! Had fun playing it!

hyden 2016-04-24 16:58

Great game, build it for phones and you'll be in the money :D

mementogames 2016-04-24 18:14

Beautiful art and presentation!
The gameplay is fun, but I wish to do more than just avoid the cones. Great entry!

gord10 2016-04-25 16:30

I liked the choosing of the musics.

2016-04-25 18:44

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

ainoraz 2016-04-27 21:57

Simple but pretty addicting. Good job! Though, the jump is a little too hard and punishing.

pixelpotions 2016-04-28 14:30

Great entry!
The gameplay is really funny and enjoyable (also hard!), and the song fits perfectly.
I like the movements of the little wave walls while I progress, it's really charming.
Cool game at all!

adipson 2016-04-30 08:43

good audio

dat_not_my_game 2016-04-30 16:15

Game with great minimalistic graphics and visual style, also with good music.

pirate_shell 2016-04-30 21:40

As an admirer of the trap genre, the music immediately clicked with me, which is important for a game like this. The mechanics were simple but quite challenging. I did find the jumping almost impossible, however, so giving the player a little bit more room for error in that aspect would have been nice. Also the way the music abruptly ended after dying was a bit weird. Other than that, I don't think it fit the theme super well, but I enjoyed it and that's what matters :D

crucknuk 2016-05-01 08:34

Nice game !

I like how you managed to use the soundcloud API.
The camera moving with the music can be a bit frustating.

Well done !

jacob2512 2016-05-01 14:27

Great track selection! I feel that the music did not have as much effect on the gameplay as it should have... also the cube and camera are kinda jerky, so maybe some smoothing function can be applied overall... thanks!

reismahnic 2016-05-03 05:41

WOW! Really amazing work. Honestly don't know how you did it. Well done.

weeping-rupee 2016-05-05 04:17

Nothing groundbreaking... but a nice solid game-- actually I experienced a little cognitive dissonance here: I find the music and aesthetic relaxing and yet as the game gets more difficult the anxiety of anticipating those spikes is really at odds with the look and feel of the game.

flummox2d 2016-05-05 05:56

Not sure how this fits the theme, but pretty cool game nonetheless. Great choice on the colors. Nice work! :)

fisilva 2016-05-06 14:30

Great visuals!

lereveur 2016-05-06 14:50

Innovative mechanic ! Music changing rythm and speed of the game add challenge and mood to the game, well done !

tonbery 2016-05-08 17:58

The sound feedbacks on the sides are really cool

I think you can match the level design with the music a little better

It's hard to jump since I don't know exactly when the cube is going faster or slower

I got a good time playing it, nice entry :)

aaranos 2016-05-08 19:44

The jump really needs some work as it is impossible at certain speeds. Overall I think it is good. The visuals are the best piece.
