Excellent style, the graphics are minimal but come together to make a really cohesive visual display. The audio is good too, good sound effects and the backing track is pretty good. The core mechanic is unique, when you do manage to pull of a quick maneuver where you switch focus to grab a green dot and then switch back to grab another it's really satisfying. The threads were just really frustrating to me though, maybe my mouse sensitivity is too high but it was both challenging to accomplish and overly punishing when you failed, which made me not even want to go for them because the risk/reward wasn't there. I ended up winning when I completely ignored them, which I felt bad for because the threads felt like the central mechanic I should be engaging with, but I did want to get a win. Also, I'd really have liked to have seen some kind of 3, 2, 1, GO when you start a new game. Since the particles go for the mouse immediately, and your mouse is hovering over the new game button, they start moving towards your mouse and the black hole is right in the path so after being frustrated with missing a thread, I'd retry and immediately lose a ton of stability from colliding with the black hole.

Sorry, lots of feedback there, but it was a genuinely interesting submission and I wanted to wrap my head around it, and glad I stuck with it for longer. Great work!

Please don't apologise, I genuinely appreciate all the feedback and especially when its constructive like yours.

You are definitely right, the threads were meant to be the core mechanic and I failed horribly at balancing them both from a mechanical and a gameplay perspective.

I think I learned that having a new person play test the game every time is probably the best, the people that helped me out and myself were so used to the threads that it was really easy which causes me to bump up the difficulty. Large mistake, points noted.

Nevertheless I am happy that you managed to enjoy parts of it, I see I haven't had the pleasure of playing your submission yet and I'll make sure to do so later today when I get the chance <3
