Very specific and unusual implementation of mechanics. I've played for so long so I started to feel the flow of the game and it's really cool, but at the same time the game are quite difficult. Minimalism was a good use for graphics. Overall it;s a well done job!

Talk about a unique game! This is incredibly clever and surprisingly fun to play with. Certainly difficult, but I think the uniqueness is good. Top marks for innovation.

I did get stuck on I think level 6 and took too many tries, and gave up. A good rule of thumb for jam games (especially when creating never-before-seen controls like this) is that you are by far the best player in the world at the game, so if the difficulty feels okay to you, it's probably pretty hard for everyone else.

Still had fun, thanks for making it! And congrats on your first Ludum Dare!

The art style is super nice! And the music fit the game really nicely too. I'm bad at a game like this, but I had fun anyway. I think what is confusing to me, it is the object which the camera follows. I keep expecting for the camera to follow the big black gravity circle, not the small one. Welcome to the Lumud Dare community and good job on your first game!

Very interesting control scheme!

I think the tutorial could have been clearer if the tutorial page were present on the first level. I missed that I had to press A/D from the tutorial so I fumbled for a bit on the first level. The screenshot of the tutorial on the itch page helped me break out of that though.
