It took me a little bit to understand how to play, in part because I... still don't really understand what it's about. Am I saving the planet from asteroids or not? I understand the mechanics, but it's hard to map them to some sort of concrete metaphor within the game world, if that makes sense.
That said, it's really smart to have the directions come in from specific regions and with specific colors. It helps me to kind of get into a groove and stop thinking consciously about each action. The sequences get a little repetitive after a while, but like most good rhythm games, after a while I sort of turned my brain off and acted on instinct.
Would've been cool if the arrows were 1 to 1 with the beats, and the more levels you progressed through, the more beats you would have prompts to hit.
The art is polished, I like the vibrant color palette and simple shapes! And I think the music is catchy (even if I would have prefered the meteors synchronized to the music for more fun and more variation). I spent a nice time playing, thank you!
With that said, it's pretty good for a first attempt at a jam! The graphs are cool, and it's overall catchy with this music and the planet dancing! It's just that I'm a hardcore fan of rhythm games so I'm a little bit demanding.. but it was fun nonetheless. It could have been cool to have a goal for people like me that never die, cause it never felt like the difficulty was growing with the levels.
Anyway.. good job! (and as others already said, you have to opt-out the audio section as you didn't make the audio yourself).
Really, really high quality, polished artwork!
This only needs some kind of synchronisation with the music, and its ready to publish.
Congratulations to you, I hope you get good ratings!
If you have the time, pleas play my little game here:
