My favourite game so far! It's so simple but sooo gorgeous and relaxing. Great graphics, sweet audio, incredibly smart concept. Just a note, didn't work for me on Itch.io, I got a black screen after the menu, so I had to download the game but it was 100% worth it. I will probably come back to it regularly. :) (My partner is color blind and he appreciated the little note on the menu :) )

This was a beautiful game to play. Relaxing. A little sluggish in the browser maybe? But the music was a great fit. A top notch LD entry... congrats :raised_hands:

What a beautiful relaxing game ! I really enjoyed the idea, it is really artistic and beautiful. Well Done ! I like the music a lot, I would like it even more if there were more variations ! definitely work on this more, totally worth it. Good job :)

Such a beautiful and relaxing game. Would happily play this on the commute to work to pass the time! Simple but original concept which is a little different to the other colour matching games out there. The beautiful, bright block colours and the music really create a nice atmopshere too. Only thing I would say is that the ship can be difficult to manoeuvre when trying to stop on a small planet.

Ok, before I say anything, I do have some colour deficiencies and I accept your apologies. This is a really beautiful game and a very nice idea. I had a few problems with it in practice (colour perception notwithstanding): It ran very slowly on my laptop, which hindered things a bit, and I also found the ship controls slightly unintuitive. I think since it rotates rather than moves absolutely, I would expect there to be an accelerate button, which moves you in whatever direction you're pointing, and two rotation buttons. The cardinal directions you've used here were a bit tricky to get used to (this was compounded a bit by the fact that when you're in similar colours to your ship, it becomes very hard to see what direction you're pointing in so you just feel like you're slowing down for no reason, though I suppose this is part of an undulating difficulty system you have?). Overall though, a very nice little art project, and a very good-looking and well-polished one considering the time constraints! Very well done on getting this done, and good luck on future projects.

Game idea is so unique. Art style and music are also well composed. I also found the performance issue on my laptop which made me struggle playing it. Without that issue, this game would be perfectly relax.

Beautiful game, you really nailed a calm yet engaging type of gameplay. Browser version was indeed a bit slow, but it's pretty easy to overlook. Really nice idea and execution! Good job. :thumbsup:

The browser version was slow as a snail, but I liked the theme and the music is kind of getting stuck in my head. Nice little experience this was :3

Interesting concept! Myabe some kind of "colour radar" (or power-up?) to help the player find its way would also help? I don't have a really good eye for colour so that could be also me hahaha. The "H" key definitely helped me! Good job!

Nice chill casual game, Only advice really would probably be to choose a different audio track, the music felt a bit too hype for something so relaxing. Something more chill would really make it zen. Overall great game.

I really like the mood on this one! The framerate in the web version was pretty rough, but I still had fun finding the right color! Great job all around, it's a very unique concept!

Almost crashed when it was loading the level, but other than that I think you totally nailed the cute relaxing atmosphere you were going for :)

Really cool idea, lovely chill mood with pretty decent music! Liked the hint feature, got a bit repetitive but might fit in with the theme. Good job :)

Love the idea, start up was pretty slow but it works. My only real compaint is I wish the movement was a little more smooth feels a bit rough. Great job!

Great game! I guess people with colour blindness might have some trouble, but I also wouldn't know how to fix this.

I couldn't get the game to work unfortunately. I tried both the windows and web build. On windows it gives me a a lot of GR_D3D related errors (CreateTexture, CreateDevice) right after pressing the Space key to play.

A beautiful game, congrats! The WebGL build's performance was quite bad (I was getting what felt like 3-6 fps on Chrome with a HD4000 integrated graphics card), which also semi-broke the controls, but it was just playable enough to get a feel for the game. A simple yet powerful concept, even if it didn't feel that much connected to the theme.

Nice! One minor issue I noticed is that sometimes the home circle is slightly lighter or darker than the ship, but it's the closest color available. Also I feel the music is a little too chaotic to match the relaxed gameplay, but it's not bad. Overall pretty good :)
