I love the vaporwave style with the dodging of the orbs, very fun!

reminded me amiga500 games. Music is great. The game mechanics that you have implemented awesome. 5 stars for the innovation absolutely.

It was a pleasant ride, I very much enjoyed the aesthetic and the timing-intensive gameplay!

cameron-borthwick 2020-04-20 16:00

Nice game, excellent music. great work!

I love this one! The core mechanic of spinning to avoid the obstacles is really well implemented. My only complaint would be that it starts of very hard, and giving the player more time to learn the technique before throwing hard patterns would help. But overall this is a great game with a very stylish aesthetic.

Thanks for the feedback so far people! This was my first time making music, so I'm glad you like it! I'll remember to make it a bit easier from the get go for my next game :D.

This was a pleasure to play. It was a bit difficult to understand without something telling you to dodge the objects, as from the start it appeared like you needed to shoot them, but once it clicked, it clicked hard. The music and style was very fun, with the only critique being that the theme integration boiled down to don't die, rather than keeping something else alive. That could have been your goal and I'm just an idiot, but those are my ideas. Keep up the good work!

Really cool game, gave me vibes of super hexagon.

mcreamer6 2020-04-20 22:19

love the aesthetic, reminds me so much of all those vaporwave animations that were really big a couple of years ago, and the music is fantastic. The gameplay is very addictive and as @taffaz said definitely gives me super hexagon vibes

Super! That´s my favorite up tll now from the 8 or so games I´ve played. Great everything. Graphics top-notch, idea really creative and well delivered and even put my own music on halt to listen to the track. Great asthetics!

I really liked the core gameplay mechanics! I had a lot of fun playing. On top of the cool theme B)

lker 2020-04-21 00:24

simple, effective, and addictive fun. this is some vaporwave limbo i can get behind

nick-barrash 2020-04-21 01:54

Trippy, really cool!

asgardheavy 2020-04-21 02:56

Music and aesthetics were top-notch!

I originally thought I was going to be trying to zoom in and out of the patterns, but when I realized I needed to *dance* through them... Well. That was amazing.

Thank you for this!

matt-burton 2020-04-21 18:41

@asgardheavy Hey any time! I like how you said "dance" thru them... I think I'll add that to my title or description if I update the game. Thanks for the feedback!

At first i was super confused about what to do and then i acidentally dodged the first line, and got the game. And then i spent 45 minutes playing it, didn't get further then wave 8. BUT IT WAS AMAZING. The gameplay is extremely entertaining and it just feels right. The aesthetics are super cool and the soundtrack tops it all off. Overall AMAZING.

matt-burton 2020-04-21 20:56

@cowgummiboy Holy cow you got to Wave 8!!? I can hardly do that. Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback :D

Great job evoking the 80s theme with the palette and audio. Wonderful soundtrack. I've never played a game quite like this one, so kudos on that as well!

Cute little game - love the graphics and music! I couldn't figure out how to play at first but I got it after dying a couple times. I wish the music track were longer!

100th-coin 2020-05-11 17:15

Oh dang this is rad! I just wish the music played longer before it looped. The graphics are stellar, the gameplay is amazing. it took me a while to figure out how to dodge the objects, but as soon as it clicked I realized i was being stupid and this game is amazing. Again, the music is super catchy and fun but it loops back to the start just as it's getting even better. Great game! Seriously, this is fantastic.

Woah, Thanks for featuring Solar Spin, @lee-reilly !

2020-06-20 09:54

you know this game is not bad i just think it might need a better damage animation lol. but this game is awesome because i've never seen a game like this and the difficulty is great because if someone can beat the hardest level then there really is'nt a challenge but overall good game :) I've got as far as level 10 but after that it is just impossible man.

This game reminded me of my favorite space game. By the way, a new season is out in Destiny, and to get cool rewards, many players are now using Destiny 2 Boost Services https://expcarry.com/destiny-2 . My friends already got the weapons they dreamed of

For rural properties, 'microgeneration' may be the most practical and cost-effective alternative. It can also be an attractive option for urban properties. Site: https://www.essentialhomeandgarden.com/how-to-generate-your-own-electricity-at-home/
