The gameplay is pretty smart. I would love an extended version of this concept on my tablet so I can use it to chill in bed.

Very pleasant. I found the click and drag controls a little uncomfortable, but otherwise it was a smooth ride. The chained circles was a cool mechanic.

Wow! Mindblown! You managed to create game from pure circles. And the gameplay is actually good and engaging. Puzzles are smart and the feel of game is great. Congratulations!

This is great. I love it. Definitely felt relaxing, not sure if it would have benefitted from a timer to push folks. Also, how great was the color choices of backgrounds

Pretty great game! Simple and pretty

feels soooooooo good. Smooth. Great job! Nice bright colors also

Amazing game! :D The point when you move back to the start because you missed to change the size of the circles. Nice. Was fun playing it. :D

This is a really cool concept and will be a great game for mobile phones. Hope we'll see the updated version. Good Luck!

Cool game, very simple and nice concept, matching minimal graphics and a cool core loop. It got a bit frustrating for me after a while but a bit of polish could make this into a great game.

Nice game ! The concept is very innovative, but there's a lack of levels and the arrow go too fast for me... Work on it after the jam it can be very cool !

A really enjoyable puzzle game! Perfect for the jam theme. The connected loops is a really interesting idea!

Pretty cool puzzle game. Gameplay is meditative and enjoying. Also looks really polished, had fun playing it!

Cool little game. I love the fact that the speed changes depending on the circle size :)

cookienoir 2020-10-06 14:49

@sidonie-go, linear speed doesn't change, unlike the angular speed :)

Loved it ! Everything is so sleek and satisfying ! The mechanic with the linked circles were a good twist on what appeared a simple concept at first. Nice job :smile:

Such a neat idea! And indeed - meditative. I played it on touch controls and it felt fine and quite smooth. The only trouble I encountered was when there was a smaller circle inside bigger one and the character was more moving on the smaller one - it took some trying to "grab" and resize that circle.

I also really liked the idea of changing background colors as the game went along. If you would choose some more muted color palette (something earthy, desaturated etc.) - you would have a real zen game :smile:

Well done!

Wow short and sweet. The game was really enjoyable, such a nice polish and feel. I could imagine myself playing hours of that, great job. Looks great, feels great and you left me wanting more.

So I started playing this game and my first thought was "Well, looks cool and all, but surely you can't make fun/challenging gameplay out of this". Oh boy the first level hit me hard and proved me wrong. This game is elegant, gameplay is very simple, yet contains lots of depth and challenge. I really don't have any criticism and I don't think I can even suggest any feedback, because I feel like it would ruin the elegance of simplicity for this game. Only thing I can mention that it took me some time to get used to "natural feel which circle I'm circling on", so maybe experimenting with changing active circles appearance is something I would do myself just for curiosity.

cookienoir 2020-10-07 20:29

@fancyreckless, thanks for feedback! It's really a good remark about understanding in which circle you're in. On gamejam I tried to move the camera to the center of the circle, but for sure it didn't work as I though it would. Since I got a tremendous feedback, I will end this project and, of course, will try to find a solution for this problem.

Interesting little game, but I think adding at least some sound effects would make it even better!

neowedge 2020-10-10 19:11

Very original game! I would love to play more levels, it could works in mobile market as a hypercasual game!

vlandemart 2020-10-11 11:33

Very strong entry. Minimalistic and very stylish. Gameplay is very relaxing, feels like kindla puzzle/action mix. Very original - never saw anything like that. Feels like you can release it on android right now, just as a demo.

I had fun playing it, but my brain wasn't big enough in order to finish it :P

It's a really original idea and it's well-executed and polished, keep it up! :D

dmitry-mozgin 2020-10-13 12:12

Very interesting and unique mechanic I haven’t seen like this before. The game is relaxing and I enjoyed the time playing. I've only one complain that is too short. Great entry!

arron-fowler 2020-10-16 07:49

I really enjoyed this one. It was clean, simple and challenging. So many ways it could go and I was left wanting more

Не смог пройти дальше 3-й головоломки. Сложновато из-за того что быстро. Но геймплей медитативный и приятный. Спасибо за игру. Ты красавчик, что сделал это в соло!
