The gameplay is simple and easy to understand, great!

Visually, it's pretty when the overall environment is plunged into darkness with lots of black shadows around it, and the colorful blob I'm trying to touch is sparkling. Maybe if there was a tiny screen shake or zoom on each touch, there would be a better sense of feedback! I just scored 15k (not very high)

A nice little game.

The sound effects are cool. They're doing their magic in combination with some fancy vfx. The game feels juicy enough even with its minimalistic graphics approach.

I wanted to praise that this game doesn't become faster after some point and you can maintain the same pace, but then it went faster... and I lost. :D

Extra points for making it work in the browser.

Well, I tried my best:

This is less than @cyt score. :D I may try a couple of more times to give a good competition here. :P

Would love to see it as a rhythm game with some funky beats!

That difficulty ramps up quickly, you get this unencumbered start but then you have to start dodging. Nice. I liked it.

A really good game, congratulations!

A simple concepts, and I love the execution! Looks very clean! Love getting those accidental combo's where you move away from a dot you got and happened to be on the spot the next one spawns, feels very satisfying! Maybe this satisfying feeling could be more common by having multiple dots in place, or telegraphing where the next dot will spawn. Awesome entry!

(managed to beat the score set by @airwaffle!! :grin:)

What an underrated game! The gameplay is simple yet unique and well executed, with fancy artwork and clean sfx. This is super addictive and fun to play, probably one of my favorites in this jam. Congrats! Screenshot_20231007_155931.png

this game is very fun to play. i really love the pressure when the background goes dark.

Simplistic idea with great execution! The soundeffects are on point

I really like how simple and addictive this game is. You really made it satisfying popping orbs. Making background dim and narrow, with spheres getting denser, made experience captivating. Good job!

Wow very good arcade game, I like this a lot and it fit perfectly the theme. Best score : 16291. Continue like that really impressed by your game even more if made it in only 24h.

@cyt @kack3y @jasuse @mncc8337 @airwaffle @quasilyte @luc-magitem @terminalgoat Thanks so much for the feedback guys, Ive been overwhelmed with school lately hence the lack of replies screenshots and thumbnail etc. But I really do appreciate the feedback :)

sozey 2023-10-20 14:37

That's a really good game! It's a simple concept but it's super polished and very fun to play! Great work :smile:

I like the way the game handles "negative space", looks very good.

This is a good example of how effective a simple idea can be. Would like it even more without browser vsync.

The way the intensity increases with time is good.

Got 37590 and beat @terminalgoat : hiscor.png

Hitting the spheres is immensely satisfying. Great job!
