looks interesting, but sadly cant give a proper feedback due to the screen issues previously stated.

Great palette and art style, I ran into the same issue with the screen size , I couldn't see all 3 columns in the rocket-asteroids game, at first I thought it was impossible to win until I realized there were 3 columns,  two asteroids were falling at once leaving no space to avoid them haha
I like the concept, would love to give another shot after an update!

Did you have any luck with the full screen button?

Jam Judge(+1)

I've tried full screen and 140-175% but had no luck

I really like the art style, but I didn’t quite understand the rest. The spring on the left, the spaceship on the right – it was a bit much for me šŸ˜„.

I had to spend a few minutes to get the framing issues sorted, but it was worth it :D

One of the most creative entries for the 2 color theme imo. Great pick for the two mechanics, they work well together, it could’ve easily been too difficult with something else. The difficulty curve is well balanced, but I would’ve liked a bit of progression in the games or more interconnection between them. I really like the monk and meditation for this concept, but somehow I feel like the spaceship is a bit of a thematic mismatch. In any case, awesome work!

The art and color palette are absolutely great! Unfortunately, I couldn’t fully test the game as only part of the screen was showing on my end. I’ll be happy to come back and give it another try if you release an update!

Developer

We'll get that window sizing thing sorted once we're allowed to update post-jam! Did you try zooming your browser out to ~150%?

Developer

I just edited the game page to turn on the fullscreen button, LMK if that allows you to play it now!

Very cool idea with the two separate mechanics! Not sure if it was intentional but with the way the game had to be blown up to fit on the screen, this is my first game that has forced me to rely so heavily on my peripheral vision which was super interesting! I also really like the simple and clean art/palette! Despite the zen theme, the game was definitely not zen in a good way haha

I would love to have a way to skip the tutorial after hitting retry. Also maybe turning on fullscreen on your itch page would fix the zooming issue? I also agree that I would have liked to see the theme incorporated a bit more into the game's mechanic (maybe asteroids spawning on a beat?)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Your game was one of my absolute favorites in this jam -- we're hoping to get that screen sizing issue fixed once we can update the game file itself.

Similar to Dancing Chair, couldn't get it to display properly even with scaling but the idea is cool and art is nice :)

Developer

Just enabled the fullscreen option, LMK if you're able to play it now

Managed to complete the game and I like it XD

it's like left mind right mind coordination XD

but there's almost nothing happened on the left screen but so many happening on the right screen

I can just guess where the leaf is on the left screen and just focus on the right screen

But making it chaotic on both left and right probably not ideal too X"D

Super awesome idea! The split screen between the two mini games was stressful but since both of them were relatively simple it felt very doable! Plus your mind protecting your ship was a nice touch! Nice work!

Submitted(+1)

Nice art style and also thanks for providing a solution for windows users in the description!I got the feeling the theme does not fit 100 %, but the game idea is very good! Overall nice game!

I really liked the concept here — the dual gameplay was interesting and worked well with the overall vibe. The aesthetics were really pleasing too, clean visuals and nice color choices that just worked really well :) I did run into some issues with the screen size, but I saw that’s already been noted.

Developer

Sorry about the sizing! Were you able to fix it by zooming out?

Submitted(+1)

For some reason couldn't open it properly. But the artstyle I've got to glance was sick!

Developer

Oh no! For some users, zooming out your browser to ~150% can help you see it all in one screen, LMK if that works!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, I've seen you put disclaimer under the game. Didn't work me either :(

Developer(+1)

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that! If you feel like sending your specs/usage case maybe it's something I can sort out in future tweaks

Very original idea and nicely made art + music. I enjoyed it!

Cool idea, very nicely made!

Cool game! Like the idea of two mini-games in one :D It's challenging but fair after a few trys.
Sometimes I lost the game, but wasn't sure why (because the endscreen was to fast)

Submitted(+1)

The game is creative and fun the two color really fits with each others.

Submitted(+1)

For a game with such a zen vibe why is it so stressful! Super interesting idea, I like the two colours / two games idea!

Submitted(+1)

omg this is crazy cool

Submitted(+1)

Really creative idea, kind of works with one game being quite chill and the other more intense. Really like the art and music!

Submitted(+1)

This concept is so creative!
