I like the art style in this game. Very cool!

I'm not exactly sure what the point of the game was, but holding W and Space got me going real fast and real high so that was fun. But at one point I just kept falling and I'm not sure what that was about.

Other than that, great job on the visuals. Looked really complete and pleasing.

looks pretty nice but I can't find the theme, this looks to me like a random short game

This was really relaxing to just sit back, hold W + Space, and watch the cube roll. Music/sound work really well with the graphics. Honestly, I think this would be a really awesome wallpaper, like a live wallpaper for Android or something like that. It's very fun to look at!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for making something so chill :D

I don't really get what happens every 10 seconds, it's an adictive game but it's not what is expected!
Check out my game

I really liked the feel of the game and it controlled really well. I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do other than keep moving forward, and I wasn't super clear on how it fit the theme, but jumping and rolling fast was very very fun. Awesome job!

Really nice vibe to this one and the presentation is incredibly polished. I really like the choice to have the music slow and stop when the cube stops. No real mechanical incentive to keep your momentum up but an aesthetic one that's just as powerful. Nice job.

The music starts and stops are cool, the extra noises are interesting, the cubes look nice. :)

Nice game, way more physical than I expected at first, it's so satisfying to get some good momentum :D Great touch with the music stopping (and even reversing?) with player movement. Nice presentation especially with the way the end stats fade in, great work!

It was an interesting game, I really like the mood that you built up. The music choice was really excellent and
it paced well with the rolling cube, but I struggled to find the theme or the game here. It felt like a cool interactive music visualizer. Still very pleasing!

Game feel is on point. Nice music and the rewind sound when you press back is PERFECT! It was really fun building up momentum and seeing how far I could launch the cube and how fast I could get it to spin with just the right hit at an angle. Really enjoyed it!

It's a kind of "emotion" game. I feel really relaxed. And excellent art style. Good job!

it looks like a game that would work great as an app, a cute little game to play as you're traveling to work or something :)

Relaxing and utterly delightful. Right now I'm on my second run and finding out how many ways I can toy with the audio (when I'm not launching myself into space per usual). I don't think I caught the events that happen every ten seconds but I confess I might have missed something in my mission to careen as fast as humanly possible across the soundscape. Well made and well done!

One of the better game of this LD. I really like! But please make a webgl build - I forced myself to download it =(

I really like the game feeling. And I really appreciate to the tutorial you made. It's really helpful for me to understand the game. Is the level random generated or created by the player's track?

@atwooooooood, thanks for the comment! The level was made by hand sadly, I wish I'd know how to generate it procedurally... maybe for the next jam ;)

Quite an interesting game? I'm not sure exactly what the theme tie in is but at the very least the graphic style is very pleasing to look at and goes well with the music!

Great job friend :)

I couldn't get how it is related to the theme and it's probably too easy, but the game is really stylish and the controls feel sooo good

Such a cute and nice feeling game. I loved just playing around with stopping and going seeing the blocks light up and disappear. A very classic game vibe with lovely music choices.

What a pretty and relaxing game! I had great fun playing it and so did my kids. Our best score:

We found a bug where you accelerate all the time and basically fly forever XD I could not make it again, but restarting a game got rid of it.
I wish you would start bit more zoomed out, or maybe it could zoom as you speed up? Also some sort of indication in the environment of how fast you are moving would be nice (on those rare moments when you don't see any blocks)

Overall we had fun playing! Great game!

I couldnt really tell what happened every 10 seconds but this was a really nice relaxing little game. I like how the music swells as you move and the art style is clean and nice :)

Relaxing! Loved the overall mood of the game, the music, the visuals and the controlls. I was a bit confused what actually was supposed to happen every 10 seconds, and also what I was supposed to do beside rolling forward forever. Overall great entry!

Like most comments, couldn't really find the theme but the graphics and music were a nice fit! Flying really fast is satisfying

This game is very soothing. I like her. I think it would be cool if there was another build for Webgl.

I was relaxing during the gameplay, and I love the UI. The sound design is cool and fits the game very well. It was interesting that once I got certain height and zoom out then saw more lines. Nice game!

smooth and chill, the vibe is good and it's satisfaying to move forward, the music kinda felt like final fantasy (which is a compliment ^^)
Great job !

It is a very relaxing game with a lovely art style. I like how the music fits the gameplay.

@marcodeevil I really thought it would be more noticeable... or maybe it's because it's just cosmetic. Every 10 seconds there are color changes in random elements (background, player, different paths, etc), also gravity, player speed and jump force get a small boost each time, which is only noticeable after some accumulation.

This game is very appealing visually, and the music is very relaxing. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit bland. The best strategy seems to be just holding W and Space. Also, while the theme is used, it doesn't really affect the gameplay that much so it's not super obvious. But you really did a very good job with the graphics. They are simple, but the colors and shapes are nice enough that I would love to have this as a screensaver. Overall, I'd say the graphics + audio make up for the simple gameplay.

The music and visuals is really good. The gameplay is okay, but I would have liked a bit more to do. Overall a pretty well made jam game.

I really enjoyed your game! It was super super relaxing and a nice change of pace from a lot of the other games

This was a very relaxing experience, thank you for that! Kind of stands out among other games where the timer meant most of them were kind of stressful, but this was quite calming!

I wasn't sure there was anything specific to do, so I just kept climbing, but that was good enough for me!

This was a super relaxing experience with a great atmosphere. Everything about it felt so satisfying.
I wasn't sure what was occurring every 10 seconds, so the application of the theme may have gone over my head (I'll take your word for it that things WERE happening :smile:), but otherwise a fantastic game. Great job!

Not sure what the point is, and I didn't notice anything happen every ten seconds at all, unfortunately. Quite relaxing though, loved the effect that music stops when you stop.

Very pretty aesthetic. I love the music. It was very relaxing. Not quite sure what the goal was but I enjoyed it. At one point at the end I was just flying with no other blocks in sight. Good job!

Very relaxing game. I enjoyed the music a lot. I liked the stats as well, that was a good touch.

I liked the cube effects, I like the minimalism too. Maybe some sort of score up front though, to know if you're supposed to be hitting / disappearing cubes would be good. :smiley:

I was clueless at what I was doing, but oh so satisfying! The interaction with music and piano tune was great. Then I figured out you can get that cube spinning and launch it. It was very pleasant surprise to be able to travel backwards and the sound interact with you. I wonder if a spin metric at the end would work, because I got that thing going.

Beautiful music, excellent color scheme, regularly scrolling squares, and no need for any complicated operation, just enjoy it quietly. It's really a relaxing piece, and I like it!

Nice and relaxing, the sound effects when you hit a box are great and the music to, also the light effect, maybe a UI with the amount of boxes you hit would be nice, it was a chill experience like others say and original to, nice work!

Fun and relaxing experience. Controls are simple and effective. Very good choice in music and it is fun to make it stop or "rewind" as the block does so. I like very much the simple and shiny arts. And the player is a jumping block XD Love it. :D

I am low down, and I wonder at the regular curves that appear before me. My jumps are vast, and they carry me forward at such speeds that I hardly notice the gradual rise of the curves bringing me up into the sky. Before long there are many curves beneath me, but I sit upon the tallest, soaring through the air. My jumps know no bounds, and nothing can stop me in my path, but it is this very arrogance that brings me crashing down through the curves, so low that I can not even tell how far I have fallen. Gradually I rise up through the curves, making my way from one to the other until finally I am back on top, soaring through the air, soaring so high that my descent is never ending. And then the game ended.

This made me feel like I was inside a Phillip Glass song.
