Really nice! Everything just fits so well together, the visual style is unique, the music gives that nice circus feel and the chaos is increasing nicely with time. Very cool!

Really great art style! Nicely done. Just enough different stuff to do to give you that chaotic feeling. This was a fun game.  Pretty amazing that you got all that created in just one week!

I feel bad that I can't give it more than 5 in graphics, it looks SO GOOD. And absolutely chaotic!

Developer

thank you!! T_T

Fantastic game, incredibly polished! Both graphics and music are astonishing. Concept of this game matches theme nicely. One thing You can adjust is to better explain how to spin the ball at second stage. Third stage is really challenging tho XD Amazingly done, good job! :)

Developer

Hey!

Totally agree, I think we definitely could have explained the spinner better. I really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks :)

Love the art style and the concept! Definitely didn't take long for things to start feeling chaotic. A timing based game like this that requires precision is a great way to start introducing chaos and making the player feel some of those chaotic feelings lol.

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play and review!

The art style was so cute! The game reminded me os osu! a little bit, but the fact that it takes place in a circus was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel too much chaos while playing the game, but it did get intense after a while. Overall, great work!

Developer

Hey! I recognize you from the Unexpected Jam, you had that planet defense game that turned out really cool.

Thanks for taking the time to play and leave a comment. I'm glad you at least felt the intensity as time went on ^-^

Yooooo nice I remember your duck game to hehe

Loved the gameplay and art. I just wish colors were used to differentiate between key-binds so I can tell what they were easier while multitasking. I struggled really hard because I kept hitting A instead of S.

Loved the idea and concept, it was definitely a chaotic multi-tasking game.

Great Job!

If you have another person and a controller available to plugin please check out my game!

Developer

Hey, first off thanks a ton for taking the time to play and leave feedback.

I really like your suggestion to differentiate the different inputs by color, we wanted the experience to be chaotic and challenging but not to the point that it was frustrating and I think we definitely teetered on that edge a little. Some visual clarity definitely would have buffed that up.

Loved the art style and colors you used! The game is really challenging, it was hard to see the character in the square while trying to keep the other commands going. Very good game overall.

Developer

Hey!

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to play.

Really fun art, balancing all the QTEs can be challenging but I like that it is represented with a literal balancing act

Developer

Thanks ;)

MASTERPIECE

Perfect art style! The only thing I could criticize is that the gameplay isn´t matched with the rythm of the music, wich would make it a proper rythm game. Aside from that, It was pretty fun! 

Developer

Would be so cool to have it match to the rhythm for sure, thanks for your feedback!

Developer

Ohh, if only I had another day of programming time I would have loved to implement rhythm. Maybe next time ;) Thanks for taking the time to play and review!

You all brought a children's book to life for your game jam? This looks incredible! Well done.

I never got past the spinning plates section. The game was a bit too difficult for me to be able to manage things outside my periphery. I think the rate that the borders slowed down as they got close to the timing made it difficult to time them correctly unless you're looking directly at it. Also, the description mentions lights showing how well you're doing, but I wasn't able to see any lights showing the status. I just sorta... failed every time around the same time. 

I think the readability of the icons could be improved. Unless you're staring directly at them, they blend into the background. More contrast would help players take in more information outside their immediate focus and make it easier to see what they actually have to respond to. I felt I could do each task individually, but I was doing the other effectively blind. 

Overall, really cool game, great execution and presentation. Great job team!

Thank youuu :3 Definitely could improve on the UI in the next round, happy you enjoyed it!

Really cool concept, great visuals and fiting music. I like how it become exponentianaly harder as you have more and more objects (just like in a real world), but after while it becomes so so hard. But players are not trying to finish the game, but get highest score, so therefore it is good that the game is harder and harder (it was just too hard right when I got to the plate, so maybe it would benefit slower increase of difficulty).

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!!
