More of an audiovisual experience, less of a game. Also part of a bigger idea I have in mind, trying to see if the basics of it work.

Also, sadly, I haven't had the time to spend a lot of time on this (probably only about 14 - 18 hours). There are a lot of stuff I wish i'd done better, but lol, it's LD :D

WASD to move
Mouse to look

Felt like I couldn't move (or at least super slowly). Don't know if I was doing something wrong, but would totally make movement less restrictive so I could "explore the space"

Very cool atmosphere, as Funtastic said though the movement seems a bit odd.

Really like the ambient music :)

Okay, the atmosphere was nice, but there isn't much to be done or to see, though...

Atmosphere is perfect, unfortunately it's not much a game :)

Wow that's freaky-bizarro, I love it!

Ultra creepy, loved the atmosphere. Though I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing, I did hit quite a large number of the balls haha.

Nice experience (...but it's not a game ;)

A good atmospheric start of a game. I liked the simple start screen indicating what to use. With the beat I was expecting a heart, or thought I was in a blood vessel. Maybe later. :)

Very nice atmosphere! I don't know you're intended project, but the movement was a little slow for just exploring.

If the sphere's palpitated with the beat, that'd be pretty sweet!

I like the floaty inertia-ish movement, I figured that was part of the atmosphere. Cool demo.

5 starts for audio - but a little something extra would have been cool - some acceleration and less sensitive mouselook, with perhaps a little ship or something to guide through the planets/spheres etc. Do more globes spawn? I did spend about 10 minutes trying to collect them all. :D

Nice mood! The movement felt a bit weird (even though it was an interesting choice not to use the standard first person controller).

Fantastic sound and atmosphere. I would have carried on and tried to hit every ball, but the movement speed put me off.

Would have been interesting to see where you'd have taken this game next, if you had more time.
