Epilepsy is a game between forces. We have on one side and limit the sovereignty of the inevitable and other lines of affection. Under the surface there is this softness and violence of things, the world and the bodY.
Honestly, this game was a little confusing for me. It took me three times to realize what was going on in the game before figuring out what needed to be done.
The theme of the game in regards to epilepsy were spot on, but it was very difficult to play due to the constant flashing of lights and such.
I love the mood this creates. The distortion flashes are a happening a bit too often maybe. While the gameplay isn't that exciting, the overall style is very nice. Especially given that you only had a few hours for it.
Holy shit. The visuals are freaking amazing. Everything adds up and works really well with each other. It feels great playing this thing... Except that it isn't as fun, and it's rather confusing. Great job, well done.
Interesting visual style and like the defensive movement. Does become a bit confusing having the lines never fade and cover the screen. But think works well with the theme of epilepsy.
The game is gorgeous. I too had a hard time figuring out how to play (It's cool being minimalist about tutorials but I think the player should always know how to get started). If you did make this in 7hrs, I'm impressed !
Gentle plants in the best pink, forests of waving friends. Nice company even as I wished I could walk through them. Gorgeous screen-rending attacks. Wish my glowing protector was a bit bigger, but don't we all.
I felt a little moved by the synergy of sounds/vfx/smoothness in the game, I liked it, nice pallete, a little confusing yes, and maybe to 'exploitable', as all the elements were coming from under you, what I made to pass it easily is just put my cursor under the character, draw a straigth line always under it, and let the dots just come.
thanks all,,, happy by your comments and perceptions... @vladimirdlc: thanks,,, really easy,,, i will try to work this in the next version,,, its very simple really.
The glitchiness had me hooked, but the core gameplay was incredibly difficult and flat-out frustrating at times. Maybe an 'attack' of sorts to destroy nearby particles?
Great mood! I didn't find it very playable, but i loved the glitchy graphic effects. If you could control with the mouse instead of the arrow keys, it'd be a lot easier.
I'm rating this game highest on all categories. It's beyond a lot of what I've seen in the compo before. Music and sound and graphics are amazeballs and the gameplay is somewhat philosophical!
I can see where you guys are going with this and I think it has potential, just gotta work on that interaction being smooth and solid and not overly frustrating. It's a little difficult at the moment. But, i like the overall aesthetic and I thought it went together nicely with the music and what you were shooting for with the theme.

Good job regardless. :3
