This is just beautiful in every way possible. The music was gorgeous. The interface was clean. It was just... amazing. Incredible job, might be the best thing I've seen from this jam so far..

Edit: Seriously, the music is just beautiful. I love everything about this game, honestly.

Really interesting result, it's kind of hypnotizing with music and this moving structure! I really love it. I would like some sounds effects to fit with interactions and really enjoy the experience but it's a detail :) Great job

Interesting project. Change settings and look at this game is so magical. I think it will be awesome use as wallpaper in wallpaper engine :3

Fantastic experience! And almost hypnotic.

Small bug report: I had a slight issue, where the reset and "toggle controls" buttons obscured the labels of the topmost controls.

I wonder if adding cycling colors into the mix would improve or detract from the experience.

Music was very good as well!

Awesome little simulation! I wish I could make these screen savers. The music is also great too. Only drawback was the resolution messed with the button placement some.

Thanks for the comments and loves! Will update another version soon to make this piece of art better. :)

Can you guys share your fav creation? (Screenshot, gif, or video?) Appreciate would like to see what you guys can make :)

Amazing creation, I'm in awe. This is such a cool effect generator, well done on putting it together in such a short amount of time! It would be great if there was also options to change the model of the spheres to create interesting particle effects, or even a colour tweak / gradient to apply. I wouldn't call it a game per se, more like a FX tool generator. Like @gorr mentioned, would love it as a wall paper if I could also modify the background. Very cool entry!

This is amazing! Supercool entry! I spent so much time just staring and staring and staring, loved it

Very original interpretation of the theme. It's a pleasure to see these balls turn and turn again. Great job.

Nice little experience! Always impressed to see how some people interprate the theme

Quite mesmerizing indeed, ol' chaps.

I've always liked these interactive experimental programs that just let the player tweak with things to alter the visual results. There's really not much point to them rather to make you feel like what you're doing is changing what's occurring. Some may say it's boring, but I'd say it can be relaxing and zen. The audio paired with it really delivered the punch. I had some troubles with the interface, but otherwise, had a good time with it.

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us. There's been so many wacky experienes in this jam, it's good to slow down every once in a while and appreciate other styles and perspectives in a more relaxed spectrum. 🐳

Perhaps not quite a game, but a nice and very pretty toy. Music is nice too! Would have been nice if the music and visuals interacted more maybe. 🤩 Cool stuff! Had fun playing with all the settings.
