Sweet Game. High Score 6476. I might have to come back to this after play some other stuff!

Reminds me of Cubefield :relieved:
Hits me right in the nostalgia feels that does
Very nice minimalist style but kind of slow to move, might need a little tuning or maybe I'm just bad :kissing:

This is really good! It's like Cubefield's cooler newer brother. I main complaint was that the ship didn't really fit with the minimalist look, it looked out of place. Minor issues were that sometimes it would be impossible to get past the first part and I had to restart which was pretty annoying as it felt unfair.

A very difficult game but very enjoyable to play, I kept coming back for more.

Fun idea, but the game is much too fast. The graphics is really cool, and the sound effects is good.

I got 6817 for the Highscore - very fun to play :) - but I find that the steering sometimes has some lag

Too fast too early. You have to be lucky to make a good score, because it's frequently impossible to dodge some obstacles.

I think the game could just start more slowly, accelerating as the game progresses.

Nice work, anyway.

A little too hard IMO, felt a little like I was just getting lucky instead of steering well. However, a small tweak would fix this and otherwise great job.

Pheww, that was FAST! The controls are good (and it works with a pad, yay!) As mentioned above, it could be a bit more progressive ! I went only around 4000 and a bit.
One little advice for a next time, hide the mouse when it's not needed, especially when it can get distracting. Or allow starting the game with a key press.
Good job!

Nice and smooth game which almost reminded me of Wipeout ^^ Sometimes the random obstacles are quite impossible to navigate. Either the ship could use a better handling (faster turns) or the obstacles should be spaced apart more to allow time for the ship to avoid them. Good effort!

The game looks good, simple enough but with efficient controls to be an efficient little game.
However I have the same issue as @eric-florio, it is way too fast too quick. I felt that my experience would have greatly been improved if it the speed and cube density had gradually been increased with the score.

If you implement that kind of progressivity, I would love to try a post jam version !

Cool game but the difficulty curve is insane! It seems like the levels use random generation, which can quite happily place blocks that are impossible to avoid. This really killed the enjoyment for me, as it became more about luck than skill.
That said, I like the minimalist visuals and the audio was well suited.

Simple game but hard to control.
But nice what you did there :)

Needs more tweaking and better difficulty ramp to make this enticing... now you just get thrown into the same block-density right away every time.

Thin out the blocks in the beginning so it feels more like skill and less like luck to make it through the first block wave. Second, if you can, make sure that there is no over lap of the blocks. Other than that Good job.

Challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4a6KN4k75w
