Sweet little game! I quite enjoyed the soundscape. and viusals, while simplistic, were also pretty nice. Eventually got a little laggy, but not too bad. Still, given this game is so much about symmetry, I wonder if there's some cool rendering tech you could do (or maybe you're already doing) to reduce the number of sprites you have to draw? All in all, very cool little entry, glad I played it!
At first i was like what then I was like ohhhhhh - and then I was in the matrix. Fantastic submission. Sounds and music were a treat. Well done :D
Finished the game. Music was beautiful, fractals were beautiful, and the back and forth game style was beautiful. Great job. You will do great things!
My teammate were right about how great your game is! I really love the style and how you have to figure out the pattern.
This game was really interesting but a bit too hard for me, I had a lot of trouble staying inside the blue orbs to collect energy. The sound design for the catching section was great but the music for th dodge section was a bit grating for me with the high pitched drone.
A really polished game that plays well.
The game can get quite punitive by the end indeed! We hoped the catching section would encourage to find spots of intersection between the orbs, but sometime there are not as many as we would have liked. That's the trade-off of making a procedural game!
Thank you for your comment!
I didn't fully understand how it works first then when I saw the comments I replayed it and now I see how this changes according to how you play. I'd say it was more cool on the style side than the enjoyment, because the game itself was extremely simple, you play more for the result than you care about what you're doing right now.
Though I love those types of fractals, I wonder how it would work with other types of geometry forms. Congrats mates!
Thank you for your feed-back! True, the game is fairly simple once you know what you're doing. We decided to make it not too punitive so that it remains accessible for most players.
Out of curiosity, what aspects of the game did you not understand on your first try?
It was the fact that the bullet direction was linked to where you were when they spawn first.
Great game, the controls feel nice and it is pretty addictive!
I'm happy you like it! Thank you for your comment.
Wow, that was awesome!
I was initially a bit perplexed by what this game would be, especially when I just spawned in and didn't exactly know what I would be doing. But once I started to see how the bullets began to stack upon eachother it hit me with such a good feeling of "Oh, this is awesome."
I like how this game plays very back and forth on the "Wow, I am getting hit by everything" to immediately being "Wow, I cant get hit by anything" and that kind of realization is nice to see knowing that you've been on both sides of them.
It's also fun knowing that you can theoretically control where every new bullet is going to be, so there is some level of planning how they get added, but I found myself not really planning much after it got crazy enough. It would be interesting to see how this plays if the player had to think more about how the next layer of bullets would be added. Then they would think about how it would react with the other layers.
It is also so cool that after awhile you can start to see the patterns the bullets move in, and dodging them you can basically find a consistent path you can track since they will keep repeating themselves. Although, I did find myself sometimes just barging through since they didn't deal that much damage, but I think that is a good thing rather than this game being extremely hard to dodge everything. I like that you made the smaller projectiles deal less damage as you went, because dodging all of those would be probably impossible.
Switching between the two types of gameplay is also nice, since having the moment of "okay, now get hit as much as possible" is a good break in between the hectic normal gameplay.
I'm not sure how this game could be expanded out post jam, but I think there is a cool idea here. Maybe with some flexing of the core design of the game itself.
This was awesome! And a very creative take on the theme. Nice job!
Thank you very much for this detailed feed-back! I'm glad that you enjoyed our game. :)
A very cool vibe!
Thanks!
This game definitely has a high replay value!
I'm happy to learn that! :D Thank you for your comment.
very, very addictive
We were afraid the game would be to dull, it's really nice to see that it's not the case! :)
This was a beautiful sensory experience with some phenomenal sound design!
Thank you! :) I'm quite satisfied with that part too.
The theme fits very well, controls are responsive it's a pleasure to play again and again
Thank you for the feedback. It's nice to know that you enjoyed it!
The best game from this jam I found so far!
Woah, thanks! I'm happy that you liked it. :D
Art and music made me feel like I was underwater or in a dream. Very surreal with amazing atmosphere, somehow, even though it is a 2D game. with simple shapes. Also a cool creative idea 9/10
Thank you very much! I'm also pretty satisfied with how the art and sound turned out.
Starting the game it seemed very simple and I wasn't sure how the difficulty was going to come in, but when it did it came in at the perfect pace and was a very pleasant surprise. A really nice take on the theme and a very enjoyable experience :)
Thank you! Yeah, that was tricky to balance.^^' Making the game too harsh to soon would have made the later levels nearly impossible. :p I'm happy you enjoyed the balance we settled on.
Interesting concept, and fits the theme well. It was fun to see the amount of cells increase, but I kept thinking that a dash would be cool; It would be a risk and reward kind of tradeoff
Glad you enjoyed it! :) We tried to keep the controls as simple as possible, but a dash could indeed work here.
