Beautiful art e solid controls, it its pretty complete game. Using sinusoidal wave to control the characters is interesting, however the gameplay is not that good. It was a really good job.
Probably not the best score but 2700. That was actually a nice fun game. I loved the art. It looked really cool and the music was almost right. I liked the tone but it felt it needed more work just to get right.
But it was good enough for the entry (understandable of course the limit of time).
I like it! Using sine waves to control characters is a neat idea. I think the stars should have been stationary, though. It was really hard to judge where everything was going to be.
Nice, cool character movement and I think your right that it needs something more, maybe another mechanic. I liked the concept though, and the graphics have a strong foundation for a compo entry; I could see them getting really good with some work because they have a nice feel about them.
One criticism is that unless I'm missing something then it isn't actually possible to get all the stars, since sometimes your characters happen to be crossing in the middle instead of at the top of a wave, which is frustrating, although increases the difficulty to a good level.
Oh! One thing I really liked was the score system and name input, which was great! I don't think it added much but somehow really helped my enjoyment. More games should have that feature!
@Liberal Games Thanks for your feedback. It actually is possible to collect all of the stars even when you're in the middle of the wave. If you shorten the period by pressing left, your characters travel along the sine waves faster. Though it's not exactly an intuitive mechanic...
Very nice looking game. Complete with exit menu. Fullscreen didn't work well on Mac 1080p but windowed worked great. Had to install JDK to play. Glad you put a readme in the download. The music gets old quick, but the sound effects give it a nice arcade feel. Great job! The ending made me chuckle, so you get some nice humor points. :)
Cool audiovisuals, though I don't like mixing pixelated style with smooth vectors. The gameplay itself was alright, though nothing outstanding (I'm not a fan of games where the only goal is to get the best score possible, myself, and the gameplay itself is rather simple). Overall very decent, but not exceptional. ^^"
Cool graphics, interesting game! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/5xO0Ucfr9co

Good work and good luck :)

That music got annoying very fast.
