Quite simple but enjoyable!

@peremily Thanks!

Flashes of white are a little off putting but the music is solid and the game play if a little repetitive is quite enjoyable. If i had one recommendation I would make the power into a visual display rather than text so you can quickly tell how much power you have left at a glance.

Would you like to ZIP the game rather than compressing it to an RAR file? I can't extract (nor rate-) the game because of the version of WinRar that I'm using and some other people might have problems when trying to open an RAR file. Just to give you a heads up :)

@retr0verse, I actually love the flashes of white. Good job @Martyxgames, simple, unbeatable (lol) but fun.

Quite simple game, but quickly becomes a bit boring. I decided to stop after reaching 2MW. Maybe adding more colors after a while could make the game more interesting and adding the negative effect would be nice. Great simple game tho!

Simple game, easy to pick up but needs balancing. I reached like 600 kW but then realized I could totally stop playing the game for one minute without losing !

Didn't have problems with white flashes though :smile:

Hey!

Same as other, it's supposed to be fast pace, but when you start reaching highscores, you can just stop playing for 20sec before losing all your power. It lack some mechanics to make the game really interresting.

Otherwise it work well, the good square is easy to track thx to the colors you choose.

Simple but work. But I want`s target in this game was

martyxgames 2017-08-03 08:01

Thanks guys!!! :D

martyxgames 2017-08-03 08:06

@toadietechnika Updated itch.io with zip files :)

martyxgames 2017-08-03 08:06

Guys try my Android game too! :D

c0nst4ntin 2017-08-04 21:44

Had fun!

dragonzlay 2017-08-04 21:51

A short, simple and fun game with a nice soundtrack. Couldn't quite figure out how the multiplier worked though/

rodobodolfo 2017-08-04 22:01

Really addictive!! flashes made my eyes hurt after a while though... had to stop playing because of that.

yuigoto 2017-08-04 22:42

Really addictive and fun to play! The gameplay's really fast paced and it's also accessible, which is nice! As I had my headphones with the volume a bit high here, the opening sound freaked me out! :P But not your fault there. ;)

Now, about the mechanics, I felt that you could add something besides touching on the wrong buttons, so the player wouldn't be tempted to follow a slow pace (since it looks like energy dropped at the same speed for me), and multiplier got stuck at 1.75 and I didn't understand how it worked.

But, overall, it's a pretty nice entry and you can totally polish the idea, increase the challenges and publish it to an app store! ;)

Good luck, Cheers!

Basic game, but complete. Needs a bit more mechanic to make it entertaining after a while. Thanks for the effort.

martyxgames 2017-08-06 11:41

I REALLY DONT EXPECT THIS SO NICE COMMENTS T-T THANK YOU GUYS!

theflyingkeyboard 2017-08-07 10:08

Really fun little game, with simple, but nice mechanics. It gets repetitive very fast, but it's still fun. Good Job!

If you need more reviews, you should rate and comment on other games as well. I see that you've got 0 feedback from games that you've commented, and haven't rate almost no game.

Leaving feedback means that people can view your game in return, earning you some more views.

Rating other games can help put your game at the top, since there is a karma, or coolness variable that determins your position of the game, and that number incresses with each rate given.

Seizure inducing flashes :dizzy_face:?! Might want to add a warning for that.

It is a reaction test at best. Games required decision making, which there is none here. You could add different colored (and shaped, think of color blind players!) tiles with a multitude of effects, some positive some negative. This way you'd introduce a layer of decision making into the mix: which tile to click next?

Eh, what can I say. It is very simple, probably works better on a tablet. Not very innovative or interesting though. Ok job for a first jam.

You should rate more entries to receive more ratings, btw.

norrimo 2017-08-07 15:21

At first I thought it is a kind of memory game but than the game said to me game over. xD After this mistake I playd your game in the way it should be. But it's never ending right? Really simple concept. It would be on tablets or smartphones more enjoyable as with the mouse.

orcdraco 2017-08-07 16:27

Simple game, but it was nice. Be careful with using flash effect that might induce seizure, though..

demonqueen 2017-08-07 18:02

Simple concept executed well, I enjoyed playing. The only thing is that I wasn't sure what would end my run while playing.

mathiouza 2017-08-07 18:25

Really simple game. I expecting more things like visual effects, or more gameplay features (like many green squares to hit with the same time we has for one square), the music is too repetitive but it works with the feeling of the game. Congrats :)

toadietechnika 2017-08-09 10:12

Commented for the 2nd time because the rar file wasn't opening for me, glad that zip did. It's a little coincidence that you're also a Filipino. Anyway...

The game is simple and straightforward, you just tap the tiles to increase your power. And I shouldn't be stopping pressing the tiles, but the flash every hit really hurts my eyes. The gameplay would be too easy (yet an overkill, which turns into a disco-clicker) in mobile. The game is not bad overall :)

martyxgames 2017-08-09 14:43

@toadietechnika How come you know? hello fellow countrymen, thanks for the review

martyxgames 2017-08-09 14:45

SORRY GUYS FOR THE SEIZURE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NEVER HEARD OF IT SORRY

rothens91 2017-08-12 08:52

It's a simplistic, yet enjoyable game! :) I love it! :)

sgt3v 2017-08-16 08:15

Simple and fun, nice job!

belga54 2017-08-17 21:31
