Stuck in the HyperLoop by 1257th or nothing

You are Higgs boson. You are shy and you are hiding.

Scientist search for you and they built a colision loop. If they detect you with their sensors, they will prove you exist, and everybody's going to look at you!

Use right and left arrows to change your trajectory, and avoid sensors until they have to turn off the loop.

Enjoyable little game that gave me a hardy chuckle in reading the description that I was going to be playing a shy little higgs boson particle. I love it.

Interesting idea. The controls felt... loose. That might be intentional, but it results in a somewhat spongey experience where I often felt the fault of a loss was the game itself rather than my inputs. Once I got the hang of the controls I started to make progress and had a much better time.

Surprisingly fun once you get into it. Implementation feels solid and I didn't hit any bugs.

Nice job!

I liked the controls! It's definitely engaging, and the audio is well-made as well!

@fireslash Yes we kept the somehow chaotic behaviour on purpose. It's part of the game to learn to anticipate the oscilations. After 2 or 3 tries, you begin to "feel" it, but it's true there is a learning curve!
For curiosity, you can have a look at the "kids" mode (but it's also quite slower) to test a more precise control.

Thanks for your feedback

A great idea, it seems a bit unintuitive to play but really intriguing

Good game, I like the concept but the different mechanics/obstacles could have been introduced more progressively.

Great idea! The bouncing made it a bit hard to control and a little fruStrating, but good fun, nice game

Clever concept and simple gameplay, but it works really well for the theme. :) The Game Over screen is pretty neat, too. Nice work!
