Took me a moment to get the hang of the mechanics but when I did it was a lot of fun! The camera movement made placing circles a bit frustrating some times but since you never need to be extremely fast it wasn't that bad.

Good idea!

I did like it overall, but it fell kind of slow sometimes.

Good audio BTW, went good with the motive of the game.

I love this! Super inventive and lots of fun! The difficulty is just right and it's hard to stop playing. This is the most on-theme game I have played so far - well done!

doc-moustache 2020-10-06 21:33

I liked the mood of the game, maybe the music is a bit repetitive but it fits perfectly the theme! With some improvements you could have a very nice concept for a game!

Short, sweet and polished to heck. I love what you've done! Taking a simple concept (That totally fits the theme), putting it into a game and then just perfecting it. The music fits, the particle effects are beautiful but simple, and it was fun!

The final dot was quite tricky to get, but I got it on my first shot!

Good audio and great application with theme! Fun little game :)

This was very nice to play. The music, the environment, the screen shakes and sound effects were amazing. Would have loved to have some checkpoints. The music did not restart when i died, but reloading the game was also an option.

Very good job!

Really cool audio and graphics design, like it!

brads-space 2020-10-06 21:39

Really cool game!

nehvis 2020-10-06 21:39

Very nice idea, beautiful graphics and music!

wizard-sino 2020-10-06 21:40

By god... Every part of this is amazing.

daitse 2020-10-06 21:42

I like your game ! The graphics are simple but quite elegant and the music fits quite well with the game atmosphere ! Very soothing mood ! Nice entry !

loku 2020-10-06 21:42

What a great idea. I'm really in awe! The physics are so nice, and the audio creates a vibe that makes me... sympathise with a glowing ball? Enjoyed it a lot!

axelrinaldo 2020-10-06 21:42

Great audio, atmosphere and very zen-like gameplay. My only criticism is the lack of checkpoints, getting annoyance mixed in with all the zen was not something I was expecting. :D

smiley405 2020-10-06 21:43

nice concept

seskon 2020-10-06 21:44

Fun game, well done.

Only issue i had was with the screenshake and the camera movement, its sometimes hard to place loops exactly where you want them to go

captainproton42 2020-10-06 21:45

Wow, that was an amazing experience! Everything works in this game, from the simple yet addicting gameplay to the amazingly polished sound and visual designs. I could really see myself playing this for an extended amount of time!

Tiny nitpick: The camera messed with my aim a bit in the beginning but I got used to it after a while (also I don't really knwo a better solution from the top of my head).

quiny101 2020-10-06 21:47

Looks and feel really cool, was a lot of fun. Has a lot of potential if more content was added

denzil-gomes 2020-10-06 21:49

Where do I start here. Really elegant design. Great choice of music, I actually let it play a while at the start screen, it also goes well with the graphics. The way the game starts and ends and seamlessly loops back to the start screen is very well done. The feedback is rich...again...just an elegant design. I really like the idea, easy to pick up and very enjoyable. You tied this together really well. I'd say perhaps making it slightly easier to begin with, before having moving obstacles a little more practice would be nice but other than that I'm impressed

c0nt 2020-10-06 21:50

It was kind of fun. I liked the elegance of it. The jarring death sequence detracted from the game though. Since the mood that you were going for doesn't seem to be hectic, perhaps it could be more forgiving or ease you in better.

protagonist-kun 2020-10-06 21:56

Nice and relaxing game!

kamennsq 2020-10-06 21:57

I really loved the game! The soundtrack and separate sounds are great! Very relaxing and enjoyable!

kaganobik 2020-10-06 22:23

The game fits the theme so well. Good work!

necauqua 2020-10-06 22:26

I very much like the minimalist art and animations, well done! Also yeah, as everyone already said, fits the theme very well. Audio was on point too.

Tip of the hat for easily playable HTML5 :)

namnam 2020-10-06 22:27

Très chouette, j'aime bien le concept, pas forcément évident à gérer entre les cercle à gauche ou à droite. La musique pose un mood très relaxant, ptet que du coup le fx sonore quand on change de cercle est un peu sec à côté. En tout cas j'ai passé un bon moment sur le jeu.

I found myself wishing there was a bit more to play and that you went a little farther with the mechanics, but I really enjoyed the time I spent with it. That's probably one of the best things a game jam game can do, so I'd say you nailed it. Really liked the overall presentation too. It enhanced everything quite nicely.

fmdkdd 2020-10-11 15:28

Super clean presentation. The minimalistic art style and audio work well together, and yet the polish is far from minimal. The title screen is gorgeous, and I liked the ripples and the drawing animation for placing a circle.

The mechanism is simple, but does not get old as the game is short. I'm sure you could get some variation in later levels (such as reversing directions, playing with speed and radius of the circles).

My main gripe would be the slowly-panning camera which gets in the way of placing your circles. I liked that the level is explored this way, but having to wait until the transition stops was a bit annoying. Speeding up the transition a little would solve this.

Anyway, very solid title.
