i like the color gradient effect nice job pal.

Submitted

It is definitly a cool effect and those colors look great in the black background ^^ ..it is a bit boring to play tho ..would be nice if you had added some kind of challenge or catch :)

Keep playing with it! I think you can do something fun with those mechanics :D

Submitted

Fun Game! nice and creative idea!

Submitted

It is fun to retrace the line at first, but gets a little boring after a while, maybe try to introduce a catch or something, also audio is a great way to keep interest. But I liked the main menu and it fits the theme, so overall, nice jam submission keep it up! 

Submitted

Very funny and innovative! It realy tests your memory at some points ;) Congratz

Submitted

Pretty cool concept and a good game. The fact that there is a manual way to rewind is cool but some audio and some results would have been better. Overall, a really nice concept. 

Submitted

I loved the menu. I think the game is very innovative

Submitted

I like how the drawing is implemented in the game. I hope it has similarity detection to see how well we're doing as well as some calm music and simple audio effects to pair it up nicely.

Overall, nice concept, instead of rewinding with a button, you rewind it manually in this game :)

The game is awesome! It's really innovative and the way the menu looks is just really cool, I just love the minimalistic design. You did an awesome job on this game! Oh, and if you have time, can you maybe rate my game too? But it's fine if u don't wanna, I understand. Again, good job on the game!

I longed for a point system. The idea is fun for a memory game. To switch things up maybe some small particle effect on the screen or a changing color to the lines etc. 

Submitted

Good game but I think you should add some point system and some good audio 

I thought it is endless I think you could add levels/points

Relaxing game

Rate my game if you want

Really beautiful game, love how peaceful it is, maybe you could reforge this atmosphere with some ambiance music, and to feel more rewarded give points for the accuracity of the retrace or something similar, still very cool concept!

Developer

Thanks! Definitely going to expand on this little one with some accuracy comparison and some other polish. Thanks for playing and the feedback! (Also, had a blast with your game!)

I liked the appearence of the game

Only critique is that it was a little monotonous, and I played for a bit and wasn't sure if there was a definitive end or not

Rate my game if you want :)

It does end! Haha. I hear ya on the lack of a visible goal. Going for zen on this first go =). Thanks for playing and the feedback. 

Submitted

Good menu and style, I guess you need a goal and it will be better with a few music.
