This is really fun!  Love the way the music picks up during the eye portion.

This is absolute genius.  This is exactly where games need to go- explore the unexplored!  I love this concept, and the levels are absolutely gorgeous.  Being able to explore fractals with no level bounds is a blast.

I have one major suggestion- Either have a multiple-goal system ( ie, gems from 'Marble Blast' ) that insentivizes players to explore more of the fractals, or make use of the vertical nature of some of these structures more.  I'd love to see what could be done with a jump-button, or additional platforms added in to allow further exploration.

Fantastic demo.

Aether Drift is a throwback to arcade games and bullet hell shoot 'em ups of the 1980's - with a modern twist.  It features an endless arcade mode with 9 themed arenas to challenge your skills, couch co-op and local multiplayer game modes, as well as a plethora of modifiers and challenges to spice up the gameplay!

This game is a blast!  Absolutely loved it!

Played it with three friends swapping on and off, had an amazing time coming up with 'gorn' name-based puns.  Gorn with the Wind, get Gorny, Good Gorning, you name it.  Very fun, wonderfully silly.

Fantastically entertaining to watch, thank you very much for taking a look at the game so quickly! In response to your question, there are a multitude of paths that you can take through the desert, and there may be a few odd secrets here and there scattered about.

Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for playing!

This looks incredibly intriguing! The art style is fantastic, and adds to the surrealistic atmosphere quite nicely!

Those installation instructions. Damn.
