This is a simple game where one tries to hit all of the spinning balls once they line up. You need to be quick! You only have one short moment to make your "One Shot".
This is a great game. Seriously: great. My reasons for thinking this are many. There are tons of "one shot" submissions for this compo, but yours is unique (so far) in that it doesn't require accuracy or method, so much as patience. Others will tell you: patience is my favourite controller.
The glitch sound-track helps, too, as does the aesthetically pleasing "orbits". I mean, humans just love watching things turn: we are hard wired to find rotational symmetry and gears-like motion around a point attractive. When it all lines up for one moment, and you get the shot! BOOM!
The game mocks you when you lose, and because there is no save, this actually starts to get to me. Emotions, man, they are an excellent control.
Finally: the fact that you have to start from the beginning each time (I mean, the fact that this is an "arcade style" game) is perfect. I wish so hard that there was a leader-board for me to climb.
Nice little entry. I had problems beating the one with four rotating balls before I gave up. Not sure if there's a win condition, or if the levels are proceduraly made and will go on forever.
I liked how the audio worked when hitting the balls - it worked well with the music.
A bit frustrating use of the theme - restarting the entire game for one miss isn't very forgiving :)
Pretty Good! First, I don't know why, but I really enjoyed the art design and the graphics. With the music they set up a nice mood. Second, the idea of the balls stopping when your start to move is genious. The game changes from a predictive "where will the balls be" to a "lets just line them up" (it makes it easier IMO). Also, the slow moving of your ball just adds tension to the game. Congratulations!
Nice game! Its quite challenging to hit space in the right moment, but the movement patterns are predictable, what is good for the gameplay. Good work :)
Played it on android, works fine for me. I like the sounds when you pick up the planets. The gameplay is fun and relaxing, but I really dislike having to restart from the first level, it feels artificial.
