This game has such an interesting idea! Loved the fact that there was a deeper challenge in every level  which always had us tring to think fast :) Thank you so much and great job!

Submitted

Iwas worried this game would just be a case of randomly mashing the left and right buttons, but the addition of extra walls and button controlled doors made the game much more interesting.

Submitted

Very fun idea, needs a bit more polish to truly shine. I enjoyed what I played, though would suggest that the balls be made a bit more forgiving for going through the holes, and the voids also be more forgiving. Maybe some indication that a void was about to consume one of the balls (noise, visual highlight, etc)

Submitted

The idea was very good! The game was fun but challenging enough. The only negative thing I have to say is that the void colliders were too big. In this cases is always better for a collider to be smaller than the object than bigger.

I enjoyed this!

I love the last level with three balls at the same time.

I wasn’t expecting all the variations. Nicely done!

I must admit I clicked on this game purely because of the name. Fun game though! Definitely quite hard.

I thought it was quite hard, but I did make it through in the end ;). It was a bit annoying how the music started again every time you finished / restarted a level and that I had to click on something to restart.

I wonder if this would be nicer as a gentle puzzler rather than a frantic race to the finish like it is now?

Great thinking here! Also I love the music.

Gotta say, real risky name there, but hey I guess it got me here to see what exactly what was going on hahah

Great mechanic and a really fun take on the concept! I think you explored it well and delivered a solid jam entry! Really fits the theme and handles surprisingly well on the physics side of things never giving me any funky results or getting frustrating. 

The visuals are probably the roughest part to me, but for a game like this that's not nearly as important as the gameplay so all in all awesome job!

I like this game a lot. It took me a while to stop playing.

Submitted

Very interesting and challenging

Submitted

great game!... 

Make me feel anxious when the "sun" grow and i can't take the ball out x'D

Submitted

Really nice interpretation of the theme. Refreshing. 

Submitted

cool idea, I would like to see the idea explored on a different way 

Submitted

Nice concept! A little unforgiving but with some polish this could be a great game! Hope you continue working on it.

Submitted

Nice concept with using gears!

Submitted

cool game, i got bored with it quickly tho

my only gripe with the art is i wish it wasnt so zoomed out, and was very challenging! maybe slow the black holes a bit, cause they go fast.  but otherwise great job! the game was fun

Gameplay is solid, but the art style is a bit incohesive. Try using a tool like adobe color in the future, you'll instantly see an improvement!
