Such a cool and original take on the theme! The visuals are lovely too, minimalist but very polished and professional-looking. Took me a while to figure out how to play (a tutorial or a bit more guidance would help!) but it's a really interesting, unusual mechanic. Great work. :)
Really cool take on the theme! The only issue I ran into was that Level 2 wouldn't complete even though I matched the pattern. Other than that, this is a really cool puzzle game! Very good visual style and I like the subtle sound effects. Good work!
A completely left field entry! The creativity and concept of the game is so fresh, and addicting! This is one of the few Jam games I genuinely believe could be expanded on!
Wow, what a unique concept! I found the tutorial utterly confusing (there was only 1 value to "choose" from, so it wasn't clear what's happening), but the description and the actual first level made everything clear. Nevertheless, I still had no intuition for drawing the shapes, I just tried every combination of values :D
Well done!
I had a lot of fun playing this one :smile: Very nice puzzle game. I wish the zoom was always zoomed out so I can more clearly see the pattern I'm playing with. This is a really innovative game, and the art suits it really well. Good job!
Really cool idea for a game. The visual aesthetic reminds me a bit of super hexagon. Great work!
Very chill game! I didn't quite get the hang of how-to-solve a puzzle apart from trying random values? Maybe it's just not very intuitive for me to think about those shapes. But I thought it was very innovative and fun to play with!
very clean looks and very cool idea! Selecting the circles felt a bit clunky but I enjoyed thinking about the puzzles ^^
Wonderful game, very well executed! Nice and fitting sound effects, as well as a really polished artstyle :thumbsup:
I also think that a tutorial or sandbox-level would really help to get a feel for the effect of the different parameters and their respective values.
Also, I think some very lush and atmospheric ambient music would have suited your game really well.
But these are only small suggestions, you made an amazing entry, congrats! :smile: :sparkles:
Very unique and satisfying. Nice work!
Very beautiful and unique puzzle.
However I think people just try out some numbers and get to the solution on accident.
Maybe this could be avoided if instead of using predefined values, you use sliders? That way, you can see the shape changing as you slide a value and therefor start to understand what effect the changing that specific value has.
OVerall very nice entry, well done!
Unique game! The visuals were really pleasing and soothing to the eyes. The puzzles were interesting but as mentioned before; whenever I got stuck I would just randomly try out different values till I got it right - a sliders that forces people to actually find the right values themselves could potentially fix this? Either way, I enjoyed the game quite a bit and it was a refreshing change from the other games I played so far, a much appreciated change. Keep it up, looking forward to more content like this in the future!
There are some great ideas behind this game. I love the unique approach you took to the theme and how you managed to create such a mind blowing puzzle with minimalist graphics. :large_blue_circle: :white_circle:
I believe what is missing is a more thorough tutorial to better explain how one should solve these puzzles.
Omg! This game is wonderful
This was extremely well done! I have never seen gameplay like this before and especially loved how the menu fits the rest of the game aswell.
Very nice and relaxing game.
Interesting mechanics! I really have fun to play this game! Thank you) And so adorable graphic and sounds) Great job!
I spent 10 minutes but still don't understand the mechanics, but i guess it's just my dumbness or I'm just really bad at it:D I still really like the concept and the game. Well done!!
Really unexpected entry, the concept is incredibly unique and something I wouldn't have thought of in a million years.
The art is wonderfully clean and minimalistic and really let's the interesting shape patterns shine. It took me a while to wrap my head around but eventually things started to click.
A great puzzle game and a stunning entry for what seems like your first Ludum Dare, great job!
@ditam Thank you for the feedback <3. Tutorial is definitely something we should improve for the next stage. We are planning for better designed levels to make player have an idea of how numbers influence the shape.
@pleyad Thank you for your suggestions <3. We do plan to make better tutorials and a sandbox level. I love your music idea!
@evogengames Thank you for your feedback <3. Actually we started the idea with sliders. However even a tiny change of the value might have a huge influence on the shape. We are thinking about better designed levels instead of generated ones. Hope that would make the game better.
Ok ok, this was a weird one, I had trouble learning the mechanics, maybe I'm not the smartest person in any room but I would love to struggle less in the begining. The game looks beautiful and is so relaxing (once you understand) Overall i loved it, expand on it if possible!
Quite a unique game! I definitely had a hard time figuring out how to make the correct moves though. Whenever I cleared a level it was entirely luck.
