Music SLAPS.  Theme is great!  Gameplay is simple but engaging.  Really liked this one as well.  MAN VS HIMSELF and MAN VS NATURE.  My seventh grade English teacher would also love it.

Amazing use of particles and a fun simple gameplay loop!

Thanks!

Really love all the particles and the fluidity of all the things on screen, super polished!

Developer

Thank you!

Great music and feel! I love how cleanly it looks and how the interface works. 

I’m not sure if I completely got the controls — I always crank until the arrow disappears, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right.

It might be nice to see the bubbles move (or something like that) instead of reacting to the arrows, as everything else feels SO good and diegetic.

Thanks! Yup you were playing correctly, you had to crank in the direction of the arrow until it changed. I’m not sure what you mean about making the bubbles move instead of reacting since they already do in the background.

Ha, that’s cool :) I focused on the arrows too much to notice what’s happening ;-)

What I meant is that it would be nice to get the “turn signal” from the environment (for example from observing the bubbles) instead of an explicit arrow. But it works as it is :)

Very clever and original. Great use of the crank, and I love the “floatiness”. Using the crank for the menus is pretty cool. The music is perfect, love it!

Developer

nice floaty game! I like the layout and starkness. maybe a minimap to see where to go or some sharks to avoid, keep up nice work

That idea sounds fun!

Definitely a good idea, will keep in mind. Thanks!
