This game really keeps you in the dark. Pun intended. I think this game would have needed a bit more time in development. It still has completly game breaking bugs. For example, you just don't make a sound and you watch the timer grow forever. While I'm writing this, I'm already at 500 seconds. Besides, it's funny that some barriers can be removed, but only if you make the loudest sound. Other barriers just kill you. I think the idea is very interesting and the aesthetics of the game are very promising. But it just lacks too many basic features.
Cool idea. Fun to play. Sizing controls felt too sensitive, maybe having a slider would help or something

i think its cool idea. control is little dificult on start but after few games its ok
Very cool idea and concept, Great job guy. Resizing the light ball is very sensitive.

I like the graphics
Поздравляю с первым местом)
It's a bit hard to understand the concept of the game, but it's part of the experience.

Good game idea. The sizing controls are too sensitive for my computer. No matter how short i tap the key it almost always go full on or totally off.

@attala @mira @n0ught234 @j0ye @mazen-morgan thanks for playing and comments. We truly agree with the controls remark. Try to fix it.

@ekaterina Спасибо!
@gabrielgamedev It is! :)
Enjoyable mood and core play! Awesome work by your team!
For a game about zen, this was an exceptionally harrowing game! It's hilariously frustrating to move the balls and adjust their sizes; they grow and shrink way too fast, and they move left to right way too slow. Still, I suppose that's where the challenge comes from. There was also little indicator that you had to be BIG to smash through the thin walls, but other than that, managed to finish the game in 72.1 seconds. Interesting game!
WE HAVE UPDATED THE BUILD. We fixed a couple of minor bugs and reduced sizing speed a little. Consider retrying our game guys :) @justinooncx @attala @mazen-morgan @n0ught234 @j0ye
@justinooncx thank you. that's a pretty nice result :)

The aesthetic is amazing, the fact that the smaller you are the harder it is to see is really smart. I just wish the game was longer, because the level is far too easy. Got to the end in 69.5 secs.
The idea is pretty innovative :) Maybe you could add a screenshake effect when hitting the columns to simulate the gong's vibration :)
Really like how it looks and the audio is great. The horizontal movement slowing down with the size felt a little too much and made it harder to move at decent speed, I was constantly stopping and starting. Otherwise though I love the idea.
This was really fun. I could see it becoming a viral mobile game. Changing the size of the orb is a bit sensitive but that may be purposeful.

Hi, tried it again. Now it's better but it's still very sensitive. Now I could play the game for a while but failed when you have to be accurate with the sizing. Is the sizing speed somehow related to framerate? (maybe that's why people are experiencing different sizing speeds):
nice little game! I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere, nicely done
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. It was rather evocative of emptiness, which definitely fit the theme. I liked it, and hope you guys had a lot of fun making it.
Controls are too sensitive for my taste, but on the other hand that makes the game hardcore. I like the style, stunning design. Simple, but memorable :)
The adio effect is simple but very cool. I also like the mechanics of avoiding or breaking through the obstacles. The game is a bit to difficult, but very cool. One of the few games I 'll keep on my computer.

Kind of hard but good. I like the general style. Now, i don't really know how a falling ball fit with the Om, but it kind of works :-)
Very nice one, amazing concept! Nice mood an sound.

Interesting mechanic. I was very confused at first, but I got it after a few tries. Controls could be little tighter.
The control menu is super clever, so hats off for that. The controls themselves are pretty finicky, I figured out the idea of the game pretty quick, but the falling speed and visibility being tied to size kinda toes the line between a neat mechanic and a frustrating decision. What I will say is that this would be AMAZING as a mobile game. Move your thumb up and down to increase and decrease size, tilt to move side to side, and boom you've got a fantastic one handed game for the train. Also the visual style is great, I love the minimalist view.
Took me some time to understand the rule.Interesting idea.
Cool entry, I love the concept. Fits the theme nicely as well.
Interesting original idea, unusual game, and nice simple graphics
Interesting idea and quite unique adaptation of theme. Before there was nothing there was Om, I really loved it.
Nice experience. Though I had troubles with the input because I'm french my keyboard is azerty and it's a bit cumbersome for me :)

@thierry-brochart arrow buttons control is available too.
Интересная задумка, красивый дизайн и звуковое сопровождение, плавное управление. Найс^^
Really tight design. I love the sound and the effect is adds to the experience. Fun puzzle game

The idea is good, but the it feels super slow.
Заслуженное место на джеме! Интересная реализация темы, приятный минималистичный геймплей. Вы молодцы! Готовый качественный мобильный проект!

Очень необычно, а ещё и при том что выглядит и звучит отлично, просто таки кандидат в топ джема!
