The focus on music provided a strong core to the game, and style fitted it to a T!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A little more accuracy to the movement would be nice (it's hard to tell if you're going to hit something or now), and a proper transition for entering and exiting peaches would probably make the game feel even tighter. I also had a bit of trouble with lag as my chain grew longer and longer, to the point I had to end the game before collecting all the gold pips.

The prettiest and greatest sounding game in this jam. It really looks and moves and sounds amazing :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Wishlist:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1. Wish there was a &quot;game&quot; in here, or at least something I could understand. I struggled understanding what was going on, and honestly I think I still don't understand what does what.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>2. The controls... I'm not a natural inverted player. So that really didn't work for me. Plus I felt like I had no fine motor control - aiming at a specific thing seemed impossible due to the way you can't see what's directly ahead of you. I feel disoriented and unoriented.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>3. There are apparently two different colour &quot;pips&quot;... I couldn't really tell. Oh I think you meant the ones inside the peaches, I think they might have been different, but can't tell.
