It looks like you didn't have time for much art or music work, but what you have made isn't too bad. I did enjoy it.

Thank you for the feedback! Indeed, I didn't take enough time to complete it, but I'm glad I could make it work.

Hey Idk if your algorithm is generating the new sphere at your position but it feels like that, I think the warning was too short, maybe it should be longer so player has enough time to react to that. Not a bad idea, could work if you polish it more. Keep it up!

Thank you for the suggestion! There are 3 types of spheres, each type with a slightly different algorithm: those which are generated near you, the ones generated right under you and the spheres generated all over the planet (to give the impression that there are more spheres ascending far away). It is actually possible to avoid all the spheres until the planet reaches the final ray with the current warning time, but I agree that a longer warning would be better.

This was a great concept, I like that show a warning time before the object comes up. Music or SFX would have definitely added to the mood. Good job overall though.

I can't stop thinking about Brackey's game when I play this

@rayne I know what you're talking about! haha

@danilo great work, it is more funny than it sounds when just seen the printscreens and more when you play with calm.

Keep the good work!
