Really fun idea, I would love a difficulty select or tutorial area to get acclimated to playing it. It's tricky to get good in the moment. Good job overall though, and great presentation :)
Time to rest my brain though.
a really nice game thats super hard to play! my best score was 3 xD
A really fun and innovative game with a weird but fun addition to a normal endless level. Quite addicting when you get used to it!
Wow, a unique game! This game's difficulty level is Dark Souls but once you figure it out it gets easier to reach higher score. Graphics are wonderful and everything plays well together, well done!
It's a good unintuitive experience ! Musics and graphics are both minimalist but so smooth ! Great Job !! (°u°)/
It is a pretty challenging game. It took me awhile to figure out the twist and even once I knew it it takes a surprising amount of mental work to eliminate and figure out the right path. I like the aesthetic quite a bit too. You could port this to mobile as a fun time waster haha.
I can't really think of any ways to further improve the simple concept other than a better music and more visual effects. It's pretty good for what it is already. I guess it's not colorblind friendly but oh well.
Wow, really original and funny idea, loved it :) Would you mind checking my game? :) Any feedback would be appreciated
Wow really great use of the theme!! That menu layout is a masterpiece too. The text bubbles are great how they say and color but the font color is different, fried my brain at first lol. So tricky to not follow the text at first. Gave me awesome F-zero nostalgia too. The graphics where clean and the music/sound are nice! 5 stars~
Please check out my entry if you have time~ Good day!
Very interesting psychological experiment. I found myself developing tricks to get my mind to dissociate text from colour and viceversa. I really enjoyed playing it as I felt it was training my mind, which makes the title very well fitting, because you're trying to develop a reflexive thought process, if that makes any sense. You have to BECOME mindless with some practice, in other words.
Graphics are coherent and well executed. Animations are cool, models are cool, emissive materials are futuristic and cool. Well done. I even liked the font.
Innovation: never played anything like this. Reminds me of SET (the card game), or other mind bending stuff. Thank you for the experience.
Theme: best use of the theme I've seen so far.
Audio: Liked the music and subtle sound effects, however, the song doesn't loop properly, which is a small blunder.
There are two things I didn't like:
1. There is no way to quick restart. The R key would have done nicely.
2. The game becomes pretty repetitive over time. I don't have the time to play past my top score now (38), but I suspect the game grows shallow once you've become mindless.
All in all, my favourite entry so far.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed comment :) A quick restart button is a great idea, we should have thought of that!
Flatout Drillin' is a really nicely polished game by the way, well done for making this in a week! It is a lot of fun to play and really quite unique. You could easily release it for mobile, I think it would do really well :)
Thank you for the kind comment. I still show your games to others when they pop into my stream as a great example of how it's done well. I've reviewed 130 games so far, and I think yours is the ONLY one that actually takes the theme and bends psyche based on it. Truly an excellent job. I've found another fantastic game, less strictly adhering to the theme than yours that you should try out. I think this is the best in the competition so far: https://sobad.itch.io/jimposters.
Completely solid title and MAD tough to get a hang of! I SUCK at this lol! Thank you for the game!
