Graphically very interesting...i like the style but this idea of changing perception didnt help 

Submitted

Quite competent game indeed. I would have benefited from having the ball stop a little faster when landing as the classing move backwards was way too confusing to figure out... could do a tilt + tap version but I would so not get more than max 10 on such controls.

Submitted

Loved this - controls felt surprisingly natural, which is tricky to do with iso. High score: 221 :)

I really love the visuals and the music. The perspective is really interesting as well and makes it challenging. Really good job!

really good work on the visuals, they're great :D

depth perception is haaard, maybe you could make it more obvious with some kind of beam of light coming down vertically from the player, with an obvious effect for when it's touching the surface?

Awesome. Hard and challenging. Add more orbs like double jump or something.

Really cool game, a bit challenging but fun! I included it in part 16 of my Cyberpunk Jam compilation video series, if you want to check it out :) http://youtu.be/osy0KoJS_BI

Awesome style, loved the lighting effects.The key to surviving is never pressing more than one arrow key at a time. Really cool game.

I'm a really bad gamer I think... but I really like the arts, the ambience is great, nothing to say with the gameplay, it's fun!

I like the atmosphere here. Once I figured out how to use the arrow keys correctly in the isometric view it was then a question of depth perception and figuring out where I'd land. The shadow definitely helps when you try to line that up, but the buildings are still a little hard to discern where they are in relation to each other sometimes.

The game definitely creates that frantic atmosphere where I'm struggling between the decision to try and just jump higher versus getting more powerups to slow the encroaching camera. Great job!

I agree that its incredibly difficult to play, but I really like it.  You have such a level of detail in the simple art, it's really cool.  Neat concept - simple idea - REALLY frustrating controls!!  

My biggest complaint is that nearly every direction key makes you go up or diagonal up, except for the down key.  This makes it nearly impossible to properly align yourself to get orbs.  If you went too far up, you're basically screwed - esp cause if you miss one orb you're basically screwed.

Anyway, really nice work!

Feel free to rip my control scheme apart!:

The visual style is really slick, I like it.
I found the frustrating thing about the controls was that I kept expecting up and down  keys to move the opposite to left and right - along the diagonal, if that makes sense. It's fun to play, but maybe it could be improved by starting the game off easier, allowing the player to become familiar with the controls, and then increasing the difficulty.

Works on mac, neat game. Very very hard, when you move left or right it moves you forward so you have to counter by pushing down, this is what made it tough for me. 

When i tried to move quite quickly the ball goes off screen. Graphics, sounds etc are spot on!

Submitted

At first I felt that it was much easier to try and go into one direction the whole time as it seemed I could jump over any gap or height of building anyway. And then I didn't have to do corrections on my three dimensional isometric position, but then at times I still seemed to miss some important slowdown orbs to get further. 

Current hiscore is 135. Not sure if that's good or not, but still happy that I'm improving.

Submitted

A difficult game, but maybe not impossible! Great aesthetics and music. Wish I could play for longer. :x

Thought you might want to play Dayglow Empire, if you haven't already. :)

Submitted

Really amazing! Love the visuals so much. I'd love to see diferente colors on that too, maybe levels? The "weirdness" of the controls gave a special touch to it =)! Really cool!

Controls a pretty tricky. The game has good presentation value.

Submitted

Looks great , nice lights! It's hard to get used to the controls and the depth perception at the beginning but after a while, it feels pretty good and tense :) Still, it could gain a lot if difficulty was more graduate
