Very well done, the game looks very polished and fits the theme well! I would recommend ramping up the speed a bit more, because it is a bit slow to get back when you die.

sparrow-lynn 2020-10-06 00:58

That was fun, I would just second turning the speed up

victor-hallock 2020-10-06 01:58

Great job! Loved the concept, and the overall gameplay - Not sure what to do about the loops with the lines around the gap - Seems like it would be fun if you 'pierced' the lines with your body model -

Interesting game, its just like Super Hexagon

ninnec 2020-10-06 02:01

Very Well Made game.

lazenman 2020-10-06 02:02

Cool game, reminds me of super hexagon. I feel the mouse movement makes it hard to make it through the yellow, I'm a twitchy guy

spaceguy99 2020-10-06 02:11

Very cool game, much like super hexagon

webox 2020-10-06 02:39

Nice game!! some serious super hexagon vibes.. The camera could be a bit far away, other than that amazing job! Congrats!

Super Hexa-... circle! Fun game, I'm not sure if it speeds up as you go further, but it definitely felt like they could be coming more frequently :)

darkhex 2020-10-06 13:20

Like everyone previously said. Pretty much Super ..Circle loops. I think that music doesn't fit this type of gameplay. Maybe tuning the speed up and changing music genre would make gameplay far more engaging. Good job!

saering 2020-10-06 13:24

Nice little game ! I simply wish it has more energy, like pulsing lights, changing colors (I know there is, but this should have come earlier), more punchy music... to make it a super funny arcade game ! But also, it would only look like some copy of Super Hexagon, so maybe find some mechanic to add? The mechanic of not moving on the yellow circles is cool but you could have add simple ones like shooting on circles to open the path, or having to permanently move on another color, etc.

But overall, this was neat :)

first yellow one made me crash without chance of knowing why, just read the tip showing later. Otherwise well done!

holtzzy223 2020-10-06 13:37

Interesting take on the theme! Music doesnt fit but i enjoyed it!

jackkm 2020-10-06 13:37

Fun game, some kind of progression would be nice - like faster speed

los 2020-10-06 17:23

A nice take on the super hexagon mechanics.

inanimatecarbonrod 2020-10-06 17:25

i actually liked the music a lot :) but getting through the yellow loops was very challenging, i think maybe some visual hinting like changing the color of the player while the game considers them "moving" might help

kuro 2020-10-06 17:30

Nicely done! Visually simple, yet pleasant, menus and transitions are well done, feels quite polished, and is fun to play a bit for a while.

For some reason, I suddenly feel an urge to play super hexagon. Imma go now.

namnam 2020-10-06 18:01

Maybe a little bit to close to super hexagon but without the flow that color and music give to the game. But it works and match the theme.

blue-pin-studio 2020-10-06 20:20

Not bad, i felt the music didn't fit the game at all. The pace was pretty good but i got bored fairly quickly. I dont know if there are other color loops other than red and yellow ones, perhaps a teaser of all the different color loops would be nice so i would know if i had anything left to experience.

snowinn 2020-10-06 20:22

Very nice addictive game ! It reminded me of Asgore's boss battle from Undertale with the closing of the loops and not moving for the yellow ones. I like the mechanics and the music was a nice touch. Great job!

croxel-studios 2020-10-06 20:27

Nice game, reminds me of Super Hexagon, but slower. It's really hard for me to go through the yellow loops tho, maybe making the arrow smaller would make for a better experience.

pschichtel 2020-10-06 20:45

Cool little game, reminds me of super hexagon!

gonzalol 2020-10-06 21:10

I didn't expect this. Nice, original and fitting the theme. I liked a lot.

marrs 2020-10-07 10:06

Great job, it's a bit similar to mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/escape-from-space (yeah I know the website discourages me from posting links, but I was just thinking if people like this, they might also like mine, I certainly enjoy both :) )

tad 2020-10-07 17:46

This is such a simple mechanic, but so well implemented. I really enjoyed the challenge of this game! Unfortunately, I'm not very good, but will definitely play it a bit more. My only one nit-pick is that the death sound was very loud and made me jump the first few times, haha! Excellent work! :)

nekorio 2020-10-07 19:24

Simple gameplay, but very good feeling, especially when you don't see the way you should take when a ring spawn x')The audio loop is a good matching with the jam's theme! Good job.

m-trigo 2020-10-09 19:09

Great job!

Like others have said, it reminds me of Super Hexagon (and that's an amazin game).

I really like the music, it would be awesome if it looped cleanly, but I know that's something very hard to do.

Overall I'd suggest making the start of the game little bit harder and faster. The first 4 or 5 rings are a little bit too easy compared to when the yellows start showing up. And the yellow rings are by far the hardest.

I had a good time playing it. Congratulations on the game! :v:

thought-reactor 2020-10-09 19:24

Really well done! Controls are smooth and I enjoyed the simple visuals. Definitely could have used a little more difficulty ramping - but all in all a great entry!

enzoup 2020-10-09 20:02

Great job! It gave me some Super Hexagon vibes! Which is nice, I really enjoyed it, good job, I just think for a game like that some more advanced music would be better, but anyway, great entry and good luck!

smiley405 2020-10-09 20:47

simple and addictive. Had fun playing this game.

erikiene 2020-10-09 22:01

Good balance of the hitbox being hard enough to cause rage (the good kind!) but not too hard to make it annoying. Well packaged jam game!

fupi 2020-10-10 15:00

Nice, really similar to Super Hexagon. I like the simple graphics, the tense but upbeat music, the difficulty went up quite nicely, it's a very simple game so that's pretty much all I have to say. That death sound though, I get jump scared every time, maybe turn it down. xd

thewustache 2020-10-13 16:05

I like the music, it reminds of *Chip's Challenge* for some reason :) The gameplay is simple but works very well. I think if the cursor didn't move so fast you could reduce the difficulty spike around 24.
