Really cool idea
This game seems to be addicting to everybody, including me! I usually like to detail exactly what it is about a game that makes it so interesting, but I can't figure it out, and it's killing me! Maybe it's the uniqueness of the idea, or the flawless difficulty curve, both things that I love about it.
Excellent game!
Thanks! This game came out of experimenting with a few different prototypes over a couple of days until I found one that seemed simple and fun enough to continue with.
The main twist is that the player is sort of playing the part of the 'enemy' or the AI in the game. The dots are controlled via a nested spring feedback system centered on the player which means that the more the player freaks out the harder the game will be.
I wanted to mess around with the mechanics of 'zen' in a sense. Risk/Reward and greed. How much do you want those higher points? Time tension etc.
Thanks again for playing and leaving your review!
pretty fun :D
this game cheered me up, I dont know it just has a 'happy' vibe about it :)
graphics: 9/10
they were simple, yet they wernt boring and they didnt distort anything or get in your way. You shuld make there something more unique about the squares but be sure to keep the simplicity so it doesnt get in the way. The movement was smooth and precise, good :).
sound: 10/10
the music fitted in and wasnt al in your face, it was mellow background music which i liked :), the sound effects were fun and not too dramatic epic.
gameplay: 8/10
sometimes i found it easier when the boxes were spinning because if there as a box just to the right and the black boxes wont move out the way it makes it harder to get to also you should add a point multiplier for avoiding the black boxes for 10 seconds (like x2) 30 seconds (x3) 60 seconds (x4), something like that.
hold on me: 4/10
it was very fun but it wouldnt make me want to come back to it, I'd LOVE to have it as like an app on the iphone or someting because i'd rather it be with me. Otherwise i would play it more.
game concept: 9/10
I've never seen anything like this ever before, epic job. This must've taken some time to think up :P. Although i dont like the idea of collecting time :S for some reason, not your fault though ;P
the more i reveiwed this the more i realised I liked it XD, Faved this game :3
I appreciate you writing up this in depth review and taking the time to play it. Glad it grew on you as you thought about it...
Fun and addictive
It was a good time killer and I'll be back to play again and again.
Thanks!
Interesting.... REALLY INTERESTING
It caught my attention right from the moment it finished loading. The presentation was great and the rest wasn't too bad either
Graphics: 10/10
They're brilliant. I don't normally give 10s on this category because good graphics will slow your PC down. This ones didn't. They were great and gameplay was still smooth.
Sound: 8/10
Good, but not great. You can switch between music/sound effects. That was a nice touch.
Gameplay: 7/10
You run away from black boxes while trying to capture blue boxes. Original enough. But the black boxes always followed the same paths each time we play so the gameplay gets repetitive. And it can be frustrating when you get to the harder parts.
Fun Factor: 7/10
Running away from some boxes while capturing others wasn't too fun. But it wasn't too bad either.
Concept: 7/10
There are some games that look like this on the Internet, but not many. However I never liked the concept of playing just to get a highscore.
Replay Value: 4/10
Now that I'm happy with my result, I don't feel like coming back.
Final Score: 7/10
This game is good. And it felt great in the beginning. However the more you play it, the more you can see it's flaws and realize it's not as great as you initially thought.
Looking at what you're trying to achieve, you did good. And I see lots of talent in you. I wouldn't suggest a sequel. I'd much rather see you working on a new, ambitious project, because you CAN pull it of.
Thank you for leaving your in depth review!
Great game
