This is my first finished Ludum Dare game since LD23. I think the theme suits the style of games I make and by making the game I was procrastinating from university coursework.
It features online high scores if you play the game on (and login to) Game Jolt.
Made using FlashPunk, FlashDevelop, FL Studio and Fireworks (I seem to like software with names beginning with "F").
That's really my kind of game. I would like to see the difficulty start off higher as it took a long time to ramp up, and also in my first play I got hit with a wall where all five sections were blocked so you might have a glitch in the level generation logic. Second time got to 100 before legitimately dying (jumped up too early).
Well rounded game, but it became a little headache-inducing and tedious so I stopped. The music is decent if a little repetitive. It occasionally had this strange blip when it started over but otherwise it suited the game well.
Nice graphics, I really liked the 'noise' overlay effect. Lost seemingly randomly once or twice but otherwise a good game.
What I saw its 10 second video, I thought: "I must play it!" That's very addictive, and visuals are amazing. It shows that you don't have to be a super artist to make a good-looking game!
Nice game. People really have gone minimalist this time! Slight problem with collisions at one point but apart from that, quite fun. Only thing is I wished the pulsing of the screen was in time with the music.
You also like to make your software start with "F" too, huh? Ooh, this is good. I ended up getting a score of 53 after a bit (probably due to occasional frame drops -- don't worry about that though, because my computer is bottom of the range as of 3.5 years ago). I think the music is fitting, and the static really adds some texture to the visuals.
Now for the constructive criticism: I think the player hitbox should be a tad smaller -- a lot of my deaths were due to moving ever-so slightly too soon or too late and just clipping the edge of myself on the wall. Also, this is just indulgence, but I feel like free vertical movement may have been more interesting to play.
Nice job! Simple game, perfectly polished, fits the theme to a tee. I love the grainy film effect and how the bouncing keeps everything just slightly off from being perfectly geometrical - almost feels like you're playing the credits sequence to some late 60s spy movie :)

kinda like super hexagon
make a mobile version out of it, I'm sure it would sell nicely
maybe if you could turn left and right...
I like the visuals together with the music :D

Good adaptation and good music too.
The pulsing is what stopped me playing it for longer. I'll be coming back to it again later.

Good job.
I got a score of 43 and the music reminds me of the band Plaid (which I love <3). Fantastic entry! All 5!
