This is a pretty good challenge, real tough as everyone else was saying. I was able to do one daily challenge and one randomized one, but it took a lot of practice first. Cute art choice and really smooth feeling momentum based controls, although some extended music or some music variety could help out a lot. Awesome job!

Oh wow this is hard. The music and the visuals are great. I'd want a faster reload to help with the sharp learning curve.

Very cool game! It's hard tough! hahahah It get some time to get used to, but very fun game. :)

Isn't this a tad too hard? 
All jokes aside it's fun little game. My only complaint would be that the loading screen lasts a bit too long after each restart. Otherwise pretty good!

Super fun little game, I do think what might help balance the difficulty curve a bit would be having a small set of "planned" puzzles, that are made to help folks get a bit comfortable with the controls? Cause once the clicked in my brain, I could immediately start movin' and groovin', it just took a pinch because of how unique (in a good way) the game plays. Can't wait to see where ya go with it in the future!

Very cool game! The music is very well made and the game feels very smooth and responsive!

Interesting concept! Probably one of the more unique entries in this jam. In my experience the level generation frequently generated levels that instantly veered off to the side, and I didn't have enough time to get my bearings before it was too late to escape. Once I got a level with a more forgiving start, it was pretty fun.

This game has a great concept and is fun to control once you get the hang of it. I think if the developer can balance the difficulty curve it would be very addicting and popular

Really fun game. It was super difficult and the visuals were nice.

Fun gameplay, altho the difficulty curve hits you like a brick at the start, thankfully it restarts quite quickly. sadly the music does as-well and had to be muted, just a little to short.

Looks very pleasing, with nice colors and dithering effects.
Quite like it, good job!

It's a great concept that I'd like to see developed further. I was hoping the character would bounce off the walls a little, to have better chances of getting back on track if you fail. Btw, I was typing Mars on the daily level high score, and R restarts the level :(

Like the minimalistic art style. Music was catching me from the first second.

I am not good in playing such games, but I appreciate the  responsive controls and all the visual + audio feedback. It's all very well and thoughtful crafted.

Very fun and fluid animation/movement. Would play more of this if it was developed further with some variation in the music. Good job!

The animation of the blob was so smooth. The controls felts just as fluid too!

Cool idea for a mechanic but it's way too punishing. After 30-40 tries on the daily level I gave up out of frustration because of how fast the bubbles rose.

The art direction is cool! The little character and their trail look really great. Over all the game would work great with a little rebalancing. Well done!

A very fun mechanic with a mean difficulty curve. For its simplicity, I really enjoyed this game a lot and had a lot of fun beating it! I also dig the catchy tune and the simple graphics and UI! A very solid entry!
