Definitely feel like some solid SFX and music would have made the experience much more fun, but it's still a good game regardless! I enjoyed it!

Submitted

It's simple, but cute. Nice use of the mouse wheel to integrate it with the mechanic. I do feel like I can just cheese the scale mechanic by rapidly scrolling all the way back and forth while flying across the screen, but I appreciate the concept regardless. Well made!

I got to 227 ! I wish it had music because this looks like it has a potential for a really fun rythm game. Maybe because it has OSU vibes. 

Submitted

love use of mouse wheel!!! cute fast arcade game! got 222! would absolutely pop with sfx and music

Submitted

its so cute, i love how simple it is. also the character is a top design haha

Submitted

Really lovely concept! I feel like if you had music and timed the circles to it, that could be really satisfying. I also think it would benefit from having clearer, faster circle count-downs in the beginning. As-is, it's a great little game, but some polish + audio would go a long way! 

Submitted

Fun simple game. Now unfortunately it does get boring rather quickly. Maybe you should add some variation to the game play. And there are no sounds.

Submitted

fun to play! I get a little dizzy while playing though hehe

Very simple small game! Somewhat reminds me of games such as OSU but without the rythmical aspect. That being said, while the graphics are already cute and catchy, good sound design could have gone a long way to amp up the addiction factor even harder.

Not really much to say as it is a very small game, but I liked the different circle patterns and there is definitelly a lot more complexity that can be explored to kill the repetitiveness.

Submitted

Great looking game with a nice amount of polish and style. SFX would have added a lot to the feel. Solid entry!

Submitted

Nice idea! I just spam scroll wheel XD! Hope to see you in GMTK 2025!

Submitted

Simple but fun idea :) Perhaps it should be a little more difficult, because it felt overly lenient at times. Well done!

Submitted

I like the idea! Definitely needs some sounds tho.

Submitted

Great game. I love this art. Mayby /playeda difficulty could change faster, but it is still a lot of fun.

Submitted

Amazing! I can just imagine a rhythm game with this concept

Submitted

Simple but very well executed! Maybe have it scale in difficulty a tiny bit faster, as the first 70 points or so are more or less free as-is. 

Submitted

So nice! an finally someone that uses the mouse wheel as well :P I feel like if there was music the game would gain 1k points, I'm curious to play it again if you ever do add it :D

Submitted

Less is more! I played this game for an embarrassingly long time, because matching the circles is so satisfying and addicting. I immediately thought this would be great as a rhythm game.

Submitted

Not much to critique, super simple, yet fun game. Nice minimalist art style, smooth controls, addictive gameplay. The only thing I would suggest it needs is some audio feedback and perhaps some music.

Submitted

I dont know what I'm doing but I'm happy for no reason.

in fact this is the best experience i've had in this jam
