Great concept :) - Sometimes it just seams impossibly to reach a dot without getting hit by a red one - maybe you prevent red dots always staying at the same position ?

Yes, awesome, so simple, and yet so excellent! :thumbsup:

Yeah, I've noticed a few things like that that I should change. But I don't know if I'm allowed to anymore? I don't want to break any rules or anything.

A nice simple concept. The levels seem like they might be randomly generated? It would explain some of the awkward level design that I experienced. That being said, the fact that you have 3 lives enables you to sort of play a bit haphazardly which I'm not a fan of (I would rather it be more puzzle like and force me to do it all in one life). A nice little game though!

Thank you @grostonton!
@rob-white It is randomly generated. I decided to add the extra lives when I realized some of the levels can get pretty awkward, but it also allows for strategic suicide missions as the levels get progressively more difficult.

This is a fun game! The music is some of the best in this compo. I love how the "green collect" sound is like adding to the freestyle jazz. It was a little laggy for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

@tvance, thanks for playing! I was pleasantly surprised when the "green collect" sounds actually worked out as intended! Was also afraid it might be a bit laggy (especially if webgl is not enabled), I was more worried about completing it than optimizing it, the codebase is like 900 lines of mess :|

Cool game! reminds me of the old "World's Hardest Game". It would be nice to know where the next red ball would spawn, or at least prevent it from spawning on the cursor, which happened to me quite frequently. It also caused some green balls to be completely inaccessible.
Also, I do like the music but Compo rules disallow any music you didn't make.
Other than that, it was fun! nice job

Despite a few problems with red dots spawning in seemingly impossible to solve positions this is perfect!

Very neat idea and well implemented. Good job. :slight_smile:

One of the funniest games ive played yet.

@torcado I didn't realize that about the music :| that really sucks (for me). Thanks for playing and good advice! I think I might polish it up sometime in the future (not for the jam).

@lawrence @mosegames thank you! Glad you enjoyed playing ^^

Simple fun! A shame red orbs don't have any indicator of where they'll spawn. A spawn animation would help.

@bridgs Thank you! I'll have to add something like that in a future iteration.

It's both simple and pretty fun! Red dots spawning on top of green ones is kind of annoying though.

It's both simple and pretty fun! Red dots spawning on top of green ones is kind of annoying though.

@mors, thank you. I'll need to think up a good way to prevent the red blobs from completely obstructing the green ones. It seems to be a bigger problem than I had expected it to be.

it 's simple and really fun! i love the purple blob. so cute. it's really cool when red blobs block each other to give you the chance to collect the green one.

@lunardust thank you! I'm very happy you enjoyed playing =]

At first I thought it was too simple.

But then after a few levels and getting a feel for it, I was having a good time. The controls are good, the concept is simple. There are tactics with when you pop out of the safe zone.

I think the levels were randomized, which meant some were better than others, I like it when there would be a large space, it added some variety, I think it seemed to favour smaller levels.

Good concept, well executed. The Jazz fits quite well.

I had a lot of fun trying this game. The music and feel was very chilling with a few exceptions when you had to rush for blobs while avoiding dying. Great game!

@eldogg Glad you enjoyed playing and good feedback too! The levels are randomized, I'll have to work on the scaling a bit in some future iteration. Thanks for playing ^^

@mads-lentoft Why thank you for playing! It didn't hit me on how chill the game ended up being until near the end of Sunday I was quite pleased after realizing it.

Nice concept! Love the music, nice job!

@jchaplin Thank ya very much!

I like how sometimes you have to move your mouse really fast to get a green ball tucked into a complex red configuration. I had a situation in which a purple ball was almost right on top of a green ball and it was quite difficult to get. I basically lost in that level I think. Good work!

@comatomatoes Thank you! You are actually able to pass through purple blobs if your quick enough and time it between their bullets. But sometimes it is nearly impossible to do that. Glad you enjoyed playing!

Other comments said it all, the concept is efficient but the random level generation would require some tweaking to avoid unreachable green dots and unfair enemy spawning.

simple and entertaining!

Cool idea - I enjoyed playing. The music was very well done and was probably my favorite part. The levels left a bit to be desired - the difficulty ranged from trivial to almost impossible with no real order. I'm pretty sure they were randomly generated, but I would've loved to go through some hand-crafted ones.

Simple but extremely fun and intuitive! I really enjoyed the game! works really well! Also love the mood here, so relaxed.

@exnihilo @6smith @alottabit @chong-lee thank you all for playing! And I agree on all accounts! Maybe I'll create some hand crafted levels as well as fix the random generation up for the next iteration.

Nice game, but I am confused by difficulty scaling.

This was a pretty fun game for how simple it was.
The movement mechanics were very fluid and visually appealing. Probably the biggest reason I played it for as long as I did!

I think it had the right amount of forgiveness before giving you the loss, considering some levels are almost impossible. :laughing:

I didn't feel the size of the levels lead well to the theme. I almost didn't catch that it was happening.

This is a good example that simple graphics can work, if polished well!

I loved the game!
But sadly, it didn't really fit the theme.

@boltkey @arden @jacobtum Thanks for playing ^^ Glad you all enjoyed it!

I agree that the level size doesn't really ramp up as one would expect it to, I figured the randomness would end up working the level size in better than it did but It definitely didn't (or not as much as I had wanted anyways).

I personally think it fits the theme well but maybe I put enough focus on the mechanics that were created specifically for the theme. (Larger level -> more baddies / other mechanics, more health and more collected -> slower moving player and faster moving enemies, there are a few more) I'll think about pushing the theme a bit harder next jam!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

So you didn't make the music on your own ?

The music is nice... It is a fun little game to play! Enjoyed it a lot!

@xclementx correct, apparently that is against the rules, I didn't know at the time -- I'm used to the Jam rules I guess.

@ayushman thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!

Nice game, fun to play, but i think the resolution is small, i need to be prety close to monitor for playing this game.

Very good concept which could be more exploited to create a real game. Levels are too easy - my point of view. Physics work fine. I love the main jazzy track. Well done ++

nice audio.
