wow. this has a very Limbo vibe to me (which is a good thing, i LOVE that game). really nicely executed on everything! i especially like all of the juice you've got with the squash/stretch and subtle screen shake-- even on the menus! super challenging game though, and i feel the same as Kwisart about the physics being a little weird especially when trying to land and jump off of the moving balls. it seemed like i would go the opposite direction of the conveyor belt when pressing the same direction which seems counter-intuitive, but maybe that's just how physics work? anyway, really good game and well-thought out levels!

I found the game rather frustrating (despite the cheat).
- The hitbox feels weird, probably because it's round. So when you're on edges, sometimes you are still "hanging" but can't jump.
- Similarily, it makes jump feel pretty weird, notably when you jump on the other circles, it feels hard to tell how to properly land. Not to mention that strange air-stretch that looks nice but feels confusing when playing.
- Some passages are waaaay to tight in terms of timing. The fire at the end is what made me gave up, notably because it was tedious to constantly jump over and over for the fire to still catch up as you gotta back track a bit (like in the screenshot)
Aside that, great level of polish! It visually feels very satisfying and has a unique charm ! The progression is smooth there even is some kind of narration (with your fellow balls dying)
Wow what a great atmosphere and level of polish! I'm terrible at the game, but really enjoyed myself regardless! Really pretty great what you can do with just some simple shapes, amazing work!
The music and level design were awesome. I got far but did not beat the game (so this must really be a huge game. I started off using the gamepad but later found the keyboard to be easy to control the jump. Nice job on your game!!
Nice visuals and level design, the framerate really became an issue though.
I liked the jumping animation, control, background particle effects, and mechanics. Great work, feels like an abstract limbo
Not only is this game creative but its cleverly unique, it only use a few colours and simple shapes yet this game still looks amazing, the only issue I have is for some reason the camera or screen shake amplified and it felt like a giant was dancing nearby otherwise good job.
Wow.
This is the most impressed I've been with a jam game in some time. Great atmosphere and polish like some other people have stated. My graphics card was struggling a bit to keep up, but I still enjoyed it immensely. The fact that you mostly succeed by stepping on the other "creatures", or by sacrificing them by pushing them in front of you in this meat-factory-like place, contributed greatly to making this a truly impactful game. And I was expecting a simple platformer :)
Wow that was amazing. I love the dark atmosphere, reminds me of Limbo. Really great Job with the art, sound, and especially coding the game.
