Such a simple concept, yet so damn complex! And yet with one switch of a key, it would become so much simpler...You purposefully coded the keys that specific way you sly devil, and that is what makes it so hard to master, and so tough to beat.
Flashing lights aside, this was a well executed game. I had to give up partway through, but I havent fully given up on this game yet, I intend to beat it eventually. Its just one of those games you have to get used to after playing it so many times and wrapping your mind around the controls/concepts.
Great job!

unique game with some difficulties in the right place to make it a fun game for a long time
Great concept, I must say. The idea of using direction like that really disorients you, requiring skill to memorize the keys.
I found the game to be challenging, and my eyes certainly felt it after beating the game, however I do have some criticism. Some of the levels in the game felt like you ran out of ideas, such as the violet rotational cam level. Which boiled down to going down, right and up, which was a tad down in difficulty compared to the other levels.
The Malevolent Levels, over all weren't all that challenging ethier, though this may be different for others I found them to be easier that the rotational cam levels, simply because though the controls are different you have more leighway in terms on beating them, due to there simple pattern (Down left, up left ect).
Overall though, the game introduced a new concept which was very enjoyable and left me with a thirst for more. I just feel like the game could do with some tweaking to make it perfect.

I agree with all your criticisms. As it was a quickly made game and such. I had to work with relatively limited times, and features and so essentially level design suffered (namely with most levels being about 20tiles by 20tiles and relatively small and samey. The cheap tricks were sort of what made the difference. The Malevolent Levels I still personally find annoying and make me think more. but Overall I believe all your criticisms are quite valid and will be further investigated for the full release game Super X.C.V.B. thanks very much for the review.
This is a very hard game but is fun because everytime that you pass one a more random lvl will apear
Every medal earned in this game is deserved! Damn it gets hard!
