What a neat concept! Pretty fun execution! Great job :)

Great entry, and I especially love the screen wobble! It's such a nice polishing touch.

Really nice ! It became quite laggy at the object part on the web version. But except that little discomfort, it was really cool.

djee 2019-10-07 19:25

Quite interesting but becomes very laggy around 3rd level. The audio SFX is good, but the background audio a bit too "intense", although I guess it gives to the atmosphere. Couldn't really get past level 3 unfortunately so a bit frustrating I had to stop before the browser crashed :(

Great concept and execution! I had a bit of trouble with the controls, I think reflexively I wanted up and down to be inverted

Very calm and ambiant game, original.I like this type of entry !

Really cool game. I love the progression. The "Object" stage is almost unplayable because of framerate in the WebGL build sadly but I could see this expanding into a cool learning tool.

@cethin @lukein @djee Thank you so much for feedback ! Yes it is my first WebGL game and I didn't anticipate that game will run badly on browser... But normally windows build runs smoothly :)

djee 2019-10-07 20:45

Ok yeah that's understandable. I only try web games though ;)

Super cool! there were a few drops in framerate during the third part, but i still had fun! nice game.

Nice job! I really like the SFX, but could maybe do with some ambient synth music. The second level felt a bit long and got boring for me, but overall really good!

Really awesome dude! Great concept. The game does get really laggy when there's too many particles on screen though

nestral 2019-10-09 11:42

Very cool idea! Took me some time to get from atom to an object and it was too fast on other stages, but it is a good game overall.

The sound was super cool with this game. I love the idea, I loved the gameplay. Like everyone else it became absolutely unplayable. I left it going for just a little bit and finished. Would have liked to see a bit more on the 'end' level but aside from that this game was super cool. You nailed it.

vhalenn 2019-10-09 14:11

@boats @nestral @ryu Thank you so much for feedbacks ! Yeah I know performance could been easily fixed but I didin't had time during this jam ! And didn't have time for balancing levels too, sometimes I just combo chained and skip the phase in 5 seconds, the levels are 100% procedural !

ryzy27 2019-10-09 14:56

Great game. It was a bit hard to aim with this camera, but I had fun nontheless. Background sound was nice and helped with immersion.

Awesome! Thanks!

gildar76 2019-10-09 18:05

Great use of the theme.

I would have liked inverted controls and the WebGL version becomes laggy as mentioned earlier, but except from that, great game!.

firebender 2019-10-09 18:20

It was made with good taste, thank you for these few minutes !

frank-gevaerts 2019-10-09 20:31

This was great for the first two phases, but like other people I got slideshow mode during the Objects phase. Sound and graphics work well together to set the mood!

mutuware 2019-10-09 20:42

Nice job on the audio!

meta-link 2019-10-10 11:52

Amazing game ! A really cool concept and well executed, I had a lot of fun playing it :slight_smile:

Good job !

Cool experience, stunning visuals, also great camera work and audio, love it. I got some framerate problems later on, but my machine ain't that great either.

hajden 2019-10-12 21:07

Really cool game, the intro bang is awesome, the mood well crafted. Controls are between fun and confusing, leaning on fun.

smilewood 2019-10-13 21:33

Fun game, I liked the unique style that you hade with it. I think that the concept of building up from subatomic to being a planet was quite cool and fit the theme well. This was a very fast paced game that was still quite fun and felt complete. The sound design was good. I couldn’t tell how useful the vacuum was, most of the time it didn’t seem to have much of an effect. I also didn’t play enough times to see if there was an effect from picking up different combinations of elements. Fun game overall, well done!

vhalenn 2019-10-17 11:05

@hajden thank you for your comments ! I know the void nature of the game make the controls hard during the first time, I added the trail behind you to know where you are and how did you move ! @smilewood Yes depending of what you take on final phase you can become a star, a living planet, a rock planet and a gas planet, sorry I didn't know the exact way to say it in english ! !

Overall: An enjoyably strange experience.

Fun: Strange gameplay but cool! The only thing I can think to suggest is to give more clear feedback as to whether I'm getting the right or wrong colours.

Innovation: I think "innovation" means "weirdness" so yeah pretty good.

Theme: Yes.

Graphics: Good, I think the graphical effects look cool.

Audio: Really good!

Humor: It's a quirky setting but mostly I feel that humor is N/A...?

Mood: Good, thanks to the eerie sounds.

mrerdalural 2019-10-17 13:30

It's a very cool game with a cool ending!

Sounds felt kinda buggy. I think you are messing with the playback pitch way too much.

Graphics are really good. I really liked how you melded multiple meshes together on object stage!

I became a rock planet in the end. Thanks for the game! I had fun playing it!
