Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The audio is from the public domain. Everything else is all done by me.

I feel like I could be playing this all day. Nice work! The colours are so satisfying.

Submitted

Perfect game, please release this on mobile. This is promissing. Well done!

Submitted

This felt like a very polished game. This can definitely be a  mobile game or something! Great job!

Submitted

This definitely one of the top games I've played during the jam! Deriving from the beautiful visuals, to the well put together mechanics, especially when you swerve your cursor the camera slows down a bit to give you time to turn. Really well thought out. A perfect score 5/5! :D Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

This was great to play. I especially loved that the rewind was always used to gather information which then you could act on.

Submitted

I would like to request a refund. The box said it was a relaxing experience, but I got unreasonably agitated every time I hit the wall ;)

Submitted

love the minimal art style :) great job! :D

Submitted

Nice minimalist art style. The gameplay is smooth although I found controlling the player while "rewinding" a little jarring. Good game.

Submitted

Its a great game nice music


could you check out my game too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/724639

Really nice endless runner, especially for being made in 24hrs

Developer

Thank you!

The visuals are really good and so is the music! Sometimes when you turn, it's a bit hard to control the ball as it orbits around the cursor and sometimes crashes, but other than that it's a really good game. Consider porting to mobile I think it would do quite well.

Developer

There are a couple tricks to make it easier to control the ball like holding the mouse further away from the ball, if that makes sense. But I can imagine that the controls aren't that intuitive at first. Also I'd love to port to mobile! Just haven't found a solution yet for substituting the mouse controls. Tell me if you have an idea for how to do the steering and rewinding with touches!

Submitted

High score 330 :). I like the simplicity and the music.

Developer

Not bad haha! Good to hear you appreciate the simplicity.

Submitted

I love how calming and relaxing this is, I love the colours you've used! I think adding coins or something to force someone to rewind and take another path to go get it would be a cool idea as well. Great concept tho :D

Developer

Cool idea! Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

this is soo beautiful and relaxing. i love it will definitely be playing this after a long day of streesing at work

Developer

:)

Submitted

LOVE THIS TYPE OF GAME ! The universe is so calming, the music is spot on ! You should add a goal to the game. Such as coins / Secret levels / Shop with custom skins for the background and character. Good job !

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and ideas, I appreciate it!
