Nice game, it took me a bit to understand how to play it but eventually I got a score of 31. Only think I felt was missing is some sound effects for when the ball hits each circle, I think it could make a sound similar to when the ring hits the center.

Cool concept. With a bit of polishing it would make for a good casual game. Kudos!

Cool game, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Maybe variations?

It is quite fun. Very minimalistic experience :). Maybe one could also add some obstacles along the way.

This game is so cool. The mechanic is so nice and simple. My only suggestion would be to change the turning mechanic. Right now its based on clockwise and counter-clockwise movement, I think it would have been nice to just have it move left and right instead. Maybe I'm just bad at the game but turning after jumping to a lower circle was a bit confusing cause the turn changed to the opposite.

Anyways, great concept, great game. Thank you for submitting!

Great game! I found it really fun, and even though the graphics were simple, they were incredibly effective. Sound made the experience a lot more enjoyable, and I really enjoyed how it progressively became faster and faster. Only complaint is that sometimes changing from one line to another felt a bit weird, but aside from that, this is amazing, so congratulations!

Very addictive game!

I think the starting point is too close to the center.
I will slow the pace of the circles a little bit.
Maybe adding more holes to jump will add more variety. Or items to temporarily stop the circles, cross some circles, etc.

Pretty addicting! I like the gameplay loop and could see this being a phone game. Great job!

Very neat, simple and effective, it can feel a little frustrating getting through the holes, but you get used to that. Works well with the theme and has good vibes

Nice concept, kinda a bummer there is no secret ending for escaping into space. Clean and polished feel though.

such a clean concept, the xylophone sound per ring is a clever touch, well done!

Cool game, really well polished. Love the effect when player looses. Got 14 at my best attempt. Nice job with the game.

Fun game! Interesting, even though with simple mechanics. After a few tries I was able to double my score (from 27 to 53) after finding a good strategy. It's really adictive. Good job!

:) Very cool game! I really love the simple and beautiful colors and sounds. I found the mechanics pretty unintuitive. I really wanted to be able to "walk" off the edge, rather than having to do a strange double-tap with a slight nudge in the middle. But I really love the concept!

@ukulelefury Thanks for the feedback. If you walked off the edges, then in it's current state you could simply hold a direction until you got to the outermost ring, to make that more interesting something else would need to be done like adding a wall to one side, or something along those lines so that you'd actually need to interact. Nonetheless, something to think about.
