The game does not seem to be working for some reason.

asue 2020-10-05 18:06

@aimainiac Hello, I'm sorry you encountered problems. I tested the game on Chrome and on Firefox and I didn't encounter any issues. There is a windows version if you want to try it.

aimainiac 2020-10-05 18:21

@asue To be more specific, the player does not move and the intro text keeps "looping." As for the windows version, I am on a MacBook, so I can't try that.

Nice game! That music is a bop! It would be nice to be able to see how many lives you have left. All in all, great game!

asue 2020-10-05 19:00

@aimainiac Wow, this is a really strange problem 0_o Do you have the same issue with an another browser?

@geryon-games Thank you! When you lose a life, the length of your tail decreases :)

Got it to work on Chrome! (I was using safari)

Good game, although it does not feel "hectic" enough. Also, I feel like more could have been done with the theme. However, I do like the art style, and the music is pretty good.

Great Game! Artstyle, Audio and Gameplay all worked together nicely :)

On Firefox, everything ran smoothly :thumbsup:

I think it would've been great to see how many lives you have left, as well as to maybe have some visuel cues for when you are dashing. Right now, I wasn't really sure for how long I was dashing, and often crashed into the "back" walls of obstacles.

The art (graphics and sound) of the game are super nice, and controls works well. I would have prefer if the dash were more "energetic".

It run perfectly on my computer too (using firefox).

142 at my first run ! :)

I had to download the game, but it's not because of the game itself, just 'cauz I got some issues with Unity and my browser. I tested on Firefox, everything runs perfectly.

Nothing else to say, really good game, it reminds me a lot of moments spent (wasted) on some bullet hell games such as Touhou, that was really funny to play ! :)

Simple controls (only one button), but there's nothing more to add to make the game interesting to play. These controls are really reactive and precise on a gamepad, GG.

These visuals are really good, especially the "aura" VFX that I really like.

Also, good job to Oxalotte for all these musics.

I've nothing else to add, or maybe a way to indicate the health remaining in an "embedded" way in the design ?

I also had the feeling that sometimes the blocks couldn't touch me during their creation, maybe add some feedback to understand when they become "active"?

But TBH these are some details to find something to improve in this game, which is still excellent.

Good job ! :)

Love the game. Simple and fun. I like the visuals as well. Minimalistic but nice looking. I think it would be helpful to see when you are in dash/invincibility mode. Maybe some color change until you finish the dash.

Great game, the graphics are awesome, good job! :)

ponoran 2020-10-06 14:45

Love the game ! Pretty hard to get a good score, I managed 34 only ! :smile: I like the style of glow on geometric forms. A special congrats for the music, :musical_note: what software did you used to compose it ?

easygoingdubber 2020-10-06 14:51

Great game, elegant, good looking, neons lights all of this are great amount of work, i left high notes but... i don't feel stuck in a loop, there are lvls, no loops at all

daitse 2020-10-06 14:54

I loved your game ! The graphics and music are very nice and fit well together ! the gameplay is well polished. The jump in difficulty between the end of level 2 and the beginning of level 3 may be a bit high ^^ Well done !

apfel 2020-10-06 15:00

Nice simple game with nice music. Didnt really see the loop. Would be nice to see the I-frames in the dash.

oxalotte 2020-10-06 15:04

@ponoran the soundtrack has been made with FL studio 20 and I used almost 2 vst : electra and magical 8 bit (the second one is free). Glad you enjoy musics ^^

ponoran 2020-10-06 15:12

@oxalotte pretty cool, well composed and well mixed, i like this atmosphere. :)

asue 2020-10-06 18:11

@easygoingdubber @apfel Thanks for your comments! The third level is a loop compared to the first two levels, you can never finish it, that's how I tried to put forward the theme.

@daitse Thank you =D The major difference is that the first two levels were created by hand while the third level is randomly generated on the beat of the music ^^

bauke-regnerus 2020-10-07 09:31

I like the neon visuals en the controls are good as well. You could do more with the music beat, but it's already fun this way.

jon-nova 2020-10-07 11:56

Very clever idea! i would love to see more.

forgeronstudio 2020-10-07 14:55

This game is a jam! The visuals were really cool, and it was fun how the shapes danced around to the music. One idea for another level could be to have shapes that interact with each other, for example merging to create a new shape, or shapes that gradually morph into other shapes to the beat. There were a couple of times where the obstacles overlapped really nicely with each other in the second level, and I think it would be cool to add more of that :)

Great job!

ansoneh 2020-10-07 16:06

Very nice gameplay! I really like the explosion effect when you die.

cyphyrgriffon 2020-10-07 17:34

This was fun! The character was really responsive and zippy, which felt really solid to control. I wish there was maybe more of a warning when things were going to spawn on top of you, but I also have bad reaction times. Ya'll made a really good looking aesthetic game! Good work.

alexey-erzyukov 2020-10-07 19:40

Nice gameplay and music

It was interesting to play

Good job

g0g0 2020-10-10 00:24

I loved the design and the music I found some bugs where the player would keep moving without me touching the keys. The theme was communicated well overall I would say you did a good job I hope you make more games in the future.

botskills101 2020-10-10 00:35

really good game! It is fun there's good graphics fantastic job!

koolruz 2020-10-10 15:50

Very fun game, and great music! The way that the different obstacles merged into each other, rather than just overlapping each other, was a really nice touch, too!

I only have a couple of nitpicks - It would have been really helpful to get a little bit more feedback when you lost a life, and to have a display of how many lives you had left. Going along with that, it would have been helpful if you had a visible change in your character when you were invulnerable from a dash. Most of the time when I lost a life, I wasn't sure if I had correctly dashed through an obstacle, or if I got hit as I was leaving it, so a little bit more clarity around that would have been very helpful. Overall though, great job! I found myself really enjoying the infinite level when I got there.

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-11 15:07

Small and neat game with pretty clear rules and smooth difficulty curve. Nicely done!

the-sin-preacher 2020-10-26 17:12

Very nice graphics, nice ambiance ! It was just a bit hard to understand how much life you still have.

noah100 2020-10-27 19:29

killer game! Love the visual design and the music is really solid!
