Really cool looking minimalist graphics! The soundscape was pretty neat too. Not sure if the player has any aim or goal though? I guess I'll check back when you've updated the description!

An awedropping, stunning game both by sounds and graphics. I've had a very nice journey towards the end. Amazing entry and such an experience to play it. Well done!
Mood and atmosphere was awesomely zen. I did glitch out side the play boundary but I just looped in the black abyss enjoying the music haha
The mechanic of moving in circles restricted by their size and the click timing feels trully unique and relaxing combined with the glowy visuals and the calm sound effects. I found myself playing around with it for about 10 minutes, it's very satisfying. I wish there were some goals or gameplay elements to it, but it is interesting by its own
cute concept, pretty and fun to toy with. reminds me a lot of floating point by tom francis
What an interesting control scheme! Great work! I really like the minimalist art design and the sound design as well! Nice use of bloom! It was a very soothing experience!
I really liked it, the peaceful soundtrack and drum sounds made for a calm experience. But the control scheme could get confusing and overwhelming at times - I reached the end by endlessly bouncing off walls in every directions without much control.
But overall great job !
What the hell, this one is by far the most creative use of the theme. It is very fun and innovative, it looks and sounds ethereal and the loop is very pleasant to control.
The increased obstacles (every time you collect an item) also adds to the challenge of navigating, making it really fun to progress. I can't think of any complaints.
Fantastic work! I'm so jelly of your work :cry:
really cool ! is so statisfying , and the simplicity of graphs works ! No goal but a stroll either and it's pleasant !
@namidasai Thanks for all the compliment ! I have update the description, and there is a goal but because I also like to see this as a toy, I didn't want to make it too obvious (there is also an end hidden, with a clear "The end" if needed)
@mikoziq Thank you very much ! The simplest visual sometimes are the best ! (the music take more time, like, a lot more time... I'm glad it work !)
@zackavelli I'm glad that my game can be enjoy even after a major gitch ! Thank you ! I hope you already got the good music before outing (the tibetan song can be a agresive after a while)
@spiderhead20 Thank you ! I actually add some goal but I didn't want to make it to straightforward but : you have some collectible in the map (and also a clear end, with a little text) just for the player who want to have a closure ! Maybe it can interessed you (I also made the game playable on web, even if it's a bit laggy)
@indivicivet I didn't know that game ! My concept is clearly not the most original one, but I wanted to give it a try and do it "my way" to see where I go ! And i'm pretty happy with result !!
Loved it ! The art and music fit the gameplay very well and the overall mood of the game is very relaxing and enjoyable. It reminded me of the "Etch a sketch" toys that I had when I was a child haha
Great job! Agree this is more a toy than a game, but it really is a fantastic toy. Would much rather play a perfect experience like this than anything else less polished. Hope to see more added.
it was so stuck in a loop. fantastic toy,good use of music i wanna say that it can improve a lot , maybe some maps to reach a point in a certain time or making a shape using the thing and envirment
Awesome concept! I would love seeing more of it. It just felt zen and relaxing to move around, but I think the obstacles got in the way of that experience a little bit. More targets and less obstacles would be my request :slight_smile:
Wow, incredible mechanical control and a great presentation. I would 100% buy a full game version, kinda dying to play this with actual levels!
Sometimes I wish everything didn't have to be some shooter/fighter/combat action game / RPG with me, so I could think of something like this.
I'm mesmerized and hypnotized, I almost fell asleep, and that is a good thing. 5/5 for mood from me, and theme, graphics and audio are not far behing.
@sharkwithlasers Thank for all your compliment ! I'm glad to achieved a smooth experience despite so little time.
@geegaz It's clearly not well balance in the end, yeah... I made the final Level in 1 hours around the end so I didn't have the time to test it and just "imagine" how to make smooth and cool passage, but none of them work as I intend... Playtest are important for level design xD
Thanks for your compliment !
@thecakeconsortium Thanks you very much !!! It's really heartwarming to receive this kind of comment ;_; Thank you !
@lajazuve Eheh, thank you ! (the secret ingredient is that, it have a goal ! But I really wanted to not show it to much so people can keep it as a toy and not a game with a clear end.)
And simplicity is sometimes so effective, it still blow me away !
Love the concept, great to just go with the flow without struggling to complete an objective. Great work!
@effarek Oooh ! I love that toy when I was a kid (well, I still love that kind of toy, and I'm probably still a kid but still), I wonder if it's influence me...
Well, I'm glad to have succeed to convey the relaxation and the calm of my game development trough the game !
@rhoff95 Thank you ! I will see if I really want to add more of if the current one is already good. If I work on it, it will be more likely to fix the final LD which are too squeashy and not as enjoyable as the free running
@mohmehdi Agreed ! I already add 4 little collectibles for people needing a goal, but I think other idea could have been better, to keep the toy aspect intact
@m-trigo You're right, I would be more fun to trying to reach something getting pushed away... (I enjoyed the taiko sound a bit too much maybe ._.)
@jake-white Thank you ! I appreaciate that a lot ! (One day, I hope I will get better at Level Design, so I can make good level in a jam ;_;)
@kuro Thank you ~~~ I love to make abstract game and just passing by either feeling, sensation or metaphor. It's just... "purer" I think. (I also love to just make dumb concrete direct game like "you play a pigeon and you eat bread", but, like, it's good to not do only that)
euh mais horace y a un soucis c'est qu'il est ouf ton jeu - tu l'as fait tt seul en 48h - mais WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???!?!!!???!
I really liked the art and sound design of the game. I just played around a bit and didn't discover the end, but it was still nice. Especially that you made it in 48h is just crazy. Keep it up! :)
Yay I won! The movement mechanics were pretty fun - it was pretty cool to fly around the level when I got better at controlling the loop. I liked the minimalist graphics. I also do love a game with some cool lighting and cool particle effects :). Good job!
@earlybard Thank you <3 I always prefer to make toy ! (but I still add a goal in the game for the other kind of player)
@strangeryann Ouesh j't'ai dis, au bout de 3h j'avais un truc qui me plaisait trop ! Je voulais pas le laisser sans le pousser un peu (finalement, j'aurais kiffer avoir un jour de plus pour faire du vrai LD dessus, et ajouter le tuto)
@tverdo Thanks you ! I hope you enjoy the walk n_n !
@tygrak Next time, I will make more room between the walls (and probably add an option to zoom out)
Congrats on getting good on the game, even I didn't succeed to get better
Zen calming :) I really like the design.
