Interesting gameplay, a bit hard to get a clear idea on giw moving one of the wells will impact on your trajectory, but a nice challenge.

Very interesting movement mechanic, nothing I ever seen before. I think I died but then moved on to the second boss which was strange. Took me a while to realise the boxes were the gravity wells but interesting experiment that I wish could be made a bit more predictable in terms of movement.
This game actually contains 2 of my favorite characteristics I look for in video games:
- The game is based on nature. Self-explanatory since you simulate gravity.
- The game allows the player to learn a new kind of locomotion. It's not just a simple WASD control or mouse movement. The player has to gradually get used to the internal logic of the game world and traverse it accordingly.
It's a shame there's no audio but I really liked everything else and you've really inspired me with this game!
Nice graphics, and bosses atack patterns only issue is the lack of audio
Very interesting and challenging! It's quite confusing tho, I find the way the trajectory changes based on how I move the wells to be totally unpredictable. Definitely needs more feedback, especially audio, and to ease the player into the mechanics rather than throwing them immediately into the snake level. Graphically it's really good, the abstract theme fits it well!
This was a really cool unique concept for a game! Definitely lots of potential for super high skill gameplay here. I wish it had audio though, and maybe a bit more indication about your health/when you're getting hit
I absolutely love it, but I cant for the life of me get past the second boss ToT his pink slappers just bounce about I have no hope of dodging them, theyre too OP thank god snakes don't have hands irl.. great game wish I was better at it :)
The screencap gifs look really cool! I wasn't able to figure out how to get past the snake, sadly.
It's a little unclear if I'm meant to be bopping the baddies or just avoiding them. Also, do the different colors of gravity wells act differently?
Amazing graphic’s style and effect, and innovative gameplay (but a bit confuse too). It’s a shame there is absolutely no sound but that was an interesting experience ! Good job !
