Nice concept, the game looks nice. It took me some time to figure out the controls. My only problem was with the jump button, a lot of timesI lost because I couldn't jump, even tought i wasn't in a blue zone.
GREAT GAME.
At first i thought the controls are all over. But they added a nice touch to the game.It was hard and easy at the same time. and I won after playing like 4 or 5 times. The jumping felt nice.
WHAT I LIKE:
I like the mechanics, movement and the lighting of red and blue zones. The controls worked in the favour of adding challenge to game. The moving block is good. The limitation of 20 is also good. The level of difficulty is nice.
Can be good:
I think there is lot of black space in the game wasted. The UI can be small and can be adjusted only above in blank space so we can watch size and no of crystals at same time.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'll take note of it:) off to try yours!
I really like the concept and the way you introduced the jam theme. The fancy minimalistic visuals combine with the game style. If you polish a little bit the control and the interface and add more content this can became a very good mobile game dude. Good job!!
Thank you!
Simple (but not easy), enjoyable gameplay with nice visuals. Adding the red and blue platforms adds an additional dimension to the 'standard' gameplay of dodging stuff while staying on the track.
Great work!
Pretty neat concept, fits the theme really well, but I think you may have overdone the post processing a little haha. Maybe try to polish the visuals up a little more. Anyway, I'd love if you could check out my game, and leave a rating (:
Thank you! How do you think I could polish the visuals better? Would it be better with more textures? But putting textures makes the game look out of concept as someone else pointed out..
I'll check your game out!!
For visuals, I think the ball should roll, maybe add some jump / collect / die particles, if you go all in on the glowy visual style the flat colored ball looks out of place, maybe a glowing outline shader could be nice, that kind of thing!
Okay!! Thanks for the ideas!!
Hi! This game was pretty neat. I think that having to press enter while in red zones to shrink seemed a little redundant, sometimes I just forgot to press the button and got cheated out of going down a size. I also had a couple deaths where I couldn't tell what I had hit! In the end I beat it by saving up crystals and just spamming them xD.
Haha you managed to beat the system! I guess I could change it such that you shrink automatically on the red zones!
Good fit for the theme! The game was lacking though. Here's a few reasons on why that is and what could be improved:
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll that all of that into account:)
I like the concept :) one thing that i didn't like was that you die to quick when close to the edge. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks I'll definitely take that into account!
Nice job, love your visuals and sound design.
Also an interesting game mechanic to strategize around :)
Awesome game!
Omg thanks! You're so good at it :O
Amazing game. I love the nice graphics. I would love It if you would play my game.
This is a fun game, great work! I found it really tricky and quite sensitive at the start but was good once I got more used to it, certainly didn't get near 1 though! Liked the music and nice clean design, Well done!
If you get a chance any feedback on my game would be much appreciated as well, thanks!
Pretty cool game - I didn't manage to get to 1, but it was quite fun to play anyway. The instructions were a little confusing though, I didn't super understand how to do things at first.
I like minimalist games like this one!
The growing/shrinking mecanic has a lot of potential in this kind of game.
I think it would have been better to remove the Q and Enter actions and make it automatic. It would allow a fluidier experience.
Alright! Thanks for the feedback :D
Nice game!
Really fun little game! I love the clean minimalist art style and the music is fantastic! I really like how you use the theme for the scoring system, it's a bit confusing at first but it not a big problem though. And maybe it could go negative if there's an endless mode, I think just go from 10 to 1 maybe a bit too little.
But overall this is a very good game! Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! I sure will fix the scoring system! ;D
You apply the theme of less is more very well. Good game with beautiful graphics. I would like to know a little better the limits of the map so as not to die instantly.
Can you rate my game please !!

It's a pretty smart gameplay mechanic and I liked the music. The art could be improved a little, I like the minimalist design, but I think you could've pushed it even further with some unlit textures or toon shading on the models. Also, I don't really understand the scoring system. But honestly those are just nitpicks since you asked for constructive criticism. I really liked it!
Thank you! Yeah I should definitely work on the scoring system, most of my friends who played it didn't understand it either XD
Pretty cool
Thank you! Off to try yours!
Very challenging, but kept me playing. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! Off to try your game :D
Pretty fun game but kinda hard. I really like the aesthetics
Thank you! I could work on the levels :D
Sorry I can't run your game, tried downloading it but it doesnt load for me (using mac)
Yeah I was only able to compile it for Windows.
