This is a very well made game, and a really challenging experience at the harder levels. Kudos to the developer for developing such a wide range of different genres of games.
Reviews for "Cyclic"

Thanks for the review, it really means a lot!
This is pretty good, but there are a few points of improvement
- Embedding a Youtube video into the page introduces lag. I understand why you did this, to give people an idea of how the game looks/plays before they play it, but a link to a URL may have been the better choice.
- The paddle seems to move too fast. You barely tap that arrow and it's extra zoomy - when I just want to move a tiny distance but it instead zips all over.
- This game might do better with mouse, rather than keyboard, controls. It would definitely help with better precision movement.
- Bonus points if you incorporate gamepad joystick controls into this. That would probably be the most natural way to play it, with the circle of the joystick corresponding to the circle in the game.
The game itself is good but I am taking a whole star because of one nasty thing: the beginning of levels like drag. I'll never understand why authors keep putting such flashing lights effects in their games if they know that it can affect somebody's health? You didn't even bother to place a seizure warning anywhere...
PS
Star given back. By the way, do you know that you can update Unity games without having all the players' saved data deleted? Check this post:

A whole star, dang. Fixed the visual effect in "Drag" to be less intensive on the eyes. I checked the other levels to see if there were any effects that could cause seizures, not sure what other level's beginnings have flashing lights like you claim. Please give a list of parts of levels that could hurt someone's eyes! I'm trying to fix them as soon as possible, it's not my intention to affect the player's health!
