Omega catchy tune with great puzzle mechanics, I loved it! :D

Submitted

This game has many "clever" things.  I found it interesting jumping while the other half is falling or jumping and be blocked by the layout only on one half. The game has also a nice development with the blue brain powerup and good level design. Loved experience!

This a really cool concept, some levels are actually really hard! Had to use a lot of BRAIN power!

really nice and beautiful, but very hard. Congratulations

Submitted

I really love the concept ! Congrats :D

Submitted

This is a amazing game . Everything including the art , music and gameplay was amazing.

Submitted

I love how the music is so upbeat , but my brain is screaming inside due to the puzzles

Dude how do you have this many ratings please reply it will be helpful for me i have only 15 ratings

Edit after playing the game: i can see why you have so many ratings this game is Amazing.

I have a couple of tips for getting a lot of ratings.
If it fits your game, make sure you have a vibrant thumbnail. Seeing as my game has a colorful artstyle, I can make a thumbnail that really sticks out.

Give your game a name that fits with the game, but leaves people wondering what it might mean, I noticed that people click on it.

Instead of working to the last minute before the deadline, I worked during the night so I could release my game early, this way you get a head start since your game will show up in a small group of other games, instead of being compared to 6000 games, my game was being compared to 500. That combined with a good thumbnail and you get really far.

Don't make the game too long, since my game is pretty difficult people may lose interest if it's too long. People want to play other games so keep it short or else people might leave without rating.

Hope this helps! I will definitely check out and rate your game!

Seem like good tips, but you should also mention that more ratings doesn't mean more score.

Remember to tell people that the scores are the median of their total scores from ratings, so they shouldn't really r4r or keep trying to get more (I'm bad at English sorry)

Developer

True, but I do believe you need to have some amount of ratings before you can get in the top 100. I believe this is because otherwise games with only one 5-star rating get the highest scores.

Fun game, well done! I'd bump up the brain hitboxes and reduce the spike sizes by just a few pixels, as I kept getting hit at places I shouldn't have been.

Submitted

Broke my brain while playing this. Very cool!

Submitted

fun to play, really challenging.

p.s. love the color :)

Submitted

A very difficult but very satisfiying game

Submitted

Neat little die and retry! Simple idea but it fits!

Submitted

Incredible Idea

The escalation of difficulty was very steep, but the presentation was top-notch. The collision on spikes didn't feel right sometimes, so it's something you'd want to look at if you plan to release this game on steam (which I'd totally buy, by the way).

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and great to hear, I might expand more on the game and release it for free here on itch.io, so if you give me a follow you can see when I upload new games ;)

"brainbreakingly difficult"... i made it till the end :)

But wow great game and puzzles, art is also reall cool

Submitted

Cool concept, really hard puzzle. Art and music are good. Very nice.

Submitted(+2)

The collision area for spikes felt inconsistent and the order of levels felt off, difficult levels were between easy levels. The concept is one I've seen before but it makes for some fun puzzles which this game certainly had. The art and music were wonderful. I had fun with what I played and all in all this was a very solid submission :)

Submitted

i love your design!.

This was really fun to play.  5 stars down the board
