Use the arrow keys to move your bouncy guy left and right, and avoid hitting UFOs! Landing on differently-colored sections of the planet has different effects! White ones are checkpoints!
The game doesn't end properly, instead the scrolling-planet-thing loops and gets a little faster each time. So just see how far you can get, I guess!
NOTE FOR JUDGES:
1. To create the music(more of a soundscape I guess) and sound effects, I downloaded instrument samples from http://bit.ly/GKEEj and modified them only slightly.
2. For the title screen, I used the Tuffy font by Thatcher Ulrich (http://bit.ly/I2ZWKa)
The rules seem to allow that stuff, but we can move the game to the jam if it bothers anyone.
Really unique idea! I liked the visual style a lot. There's a lot of nice feedback in the game. I think this could be a really addicting like rotation/orientation game on mobile devices.
great concept! I've been bouncing for 5 minutes before noticing i didn't know what i was doing. A hud would help to know if the player is on the right path. This has tons of potential. Oh, and an advice from a colorblind: if you plan to use colors as interactive items, try to add some texture too, just to make it easyer for us :D
Nice game and some realy nice touches. Falling through the world is nice and I like the different effects of the different colours. I personally would like it if there was some way to fight back. Maybe a colour that you jumped on to turn you temporarily invincible so you could smash those pesky UFO's. Cool game though and with just a few tweaks it could be really nice.
Wow. One of the best ideas I've seen yet. I particularly like the idea behind the cycles and the empty sections. One nitpick would be how abrupt the restarts are; sometimes I didn't even notice I'd died.
This is pretty awesome. At first it seemed really straightforward, and then the invisible/missing sections showed up, and the UFOs, and it became a lot more challenging.
I think there were a couple of times I managed to bounce off the 'missing' sections (on the face, not the sides). I think what happened was that I went through the first one and bounced off the second one.
Very cool idea, but it would be great if it had an ending. I got pretty discouraged by resetting at checkpoints after one hit from enemies. I think this concept has a lot of promise.
Really good ! That's very innovative. It's must have been a hell to developp. How did you came up with such an idea ? I have never seen anything that look like this, even by far ! That's a bit hard to play though, since for some sections the effect is not very clear. And i'm still not sure of what really happens. I can't believe there are so few comments :/
This is a fun start, and I like the visuals. The ufos seemed a little too random to be fair, especially with no way to fight back. But I echo what everybody else said, great job!
Looks very nice, and a good mood while playing (helped by the music). It's an interesting idea for gameplay, but doesn't seem to go anywhere and doesn't really hold interest for that long.

Good looking, but nothing much to do.

I see potential for a rhythm game. Each ring could make a different note to make melodies.
