Too hard to begin with
It's a really nice idea, and the way you make the needle hard to control, combined with the vector 'blurs' make this fairly atmospheric in the way I suppose it's meant to be.
Sound is quality.
You've really taken a simple idea and made it your own.
My only gripe is it's limited appeal and also the fact that it's too hard to begin with.
The first level should have you pretty much 'sober' with a fairly motionless arm and easier to control needle and the blurring and moving should start for real on the 2nd level. It should build up, not just have the bar a bit bigger each time.
It is a very funky and stylish thing though and really atmospheric for a while.
But as a game, it's not all that fun after a while. Failed on level 1, got to level 5 on my 2nd go and I've got little inclination to carry on. New stuff and new challenges (rather than doing the same thing but making less mistakes, trying to do a harder thing as well would be more fun) are always good.
Very stylish though.
Amazing for a short while.
