This game is fantastic. Crazy amounts of polish, simple but fun gameplay, great music. All around this is one of my favourite submissions yet. Well done! This could actually make a decent little mobile game if you wanted to pursue that.
Crazy good game! Everything seems to be perfectly polished, from the title screen to the actual game. Too bad there's that error message when you die though :(
Wow, this one is addictive! simple but impresive visuals, a great aggressive soundtrack and easy controls. I will play this surely again. Is there the possibility do create a android version? could be grear on mobile phones!
My new favorite game! I wish I could rate the music as well but definitely so much fun. The only, ONLY thing I would change would be maybe instructions on how to activate the slow-down.
I'm a big fan of twitch games and this style (hence my game) but yours is miles ahead of the rest! Well done!
Whoa, that was a trip. Very polished and addicting in its simplicity. I appreciate how the trippy visuals don't hinder gameplay as is sometimes the case with games going for that style.
Loved this! Well done! Simple and fun. Really tight controls and audio/visuals. Missed a screen explaining the controls, as I didn't understand that spacebar was slo-mo without reading it here:) The guy (rude as he's known) who started the Löve project is a good friend of mine, I'll make sure to show him this.
@flegmatical, I wanted to stay really minimalistic and didn't want to add any text excepted for the score/logo. Once you know left/right/spacebar, the controls are pretty intuitive though :) The fact that you know rude is awesome ! That'd be awesome if you showed him !
I liked the slowmo feature, I found super gravatron way too hard, but this is a game I can actually play. When it gets overwhelming you just slow it down. Good work on this game.
Gorgeous. I scored 3091. I especially love the way the interface flows in and out of gameplay and high score screen. Reccomendation: play in darkness on a giant screen. the colors illuminate the room and produce a zen-like state of engagement with the game.
The simplicity of this game's design means it feel excellently polished, and as it's an easier version of Super Graviton it's a lot of fun, too. Can't rate the audio but because it works so well with the art style it gives top marks for mood.
Great game ! You got the most important tip for a small game success, screenShake ! Jokes aside, really nice polish on a simple but really functional idea. The work on the audio and transitions between menu and game is really awesome. Keep it up !
Yeah slow motion effect! Nice approach on the theme and cool mechanics :) More big squares for more slowmo would be better I feel, just because it's sooo cool ;)
Great innovation! Very original! Could definitely see this as a cool mobile game! Simple but cool graphics. I like how everything is always shaking, it makes it even more intense. And the music is just great. (You should let people rate Audio!)
This is lots of fun. Fantastic presentation all around, and a really addicting mechanic. I could see this finding great success on mobile -- tilt controls and tap to slow down maybe?
Love the aesthetics. The music made me want to play longer. I would have liked the game to be just a little bit easier. Part of it is that the gravity switching seems a little bit erratic. Sometimes the box go outside the screen before switching sometimes it feels like it switches as soon as one edge touch the edge of the screen. The slowmo feature didn't help me at all. Went away too quickly and I didn't have focus enough to engage it in time.
hectic game. swotch is simple addictive and fun, but eye hurting after awhile ahaha. i was playing it at night with my lights turned off and i thought i was gonna give me seizure, but i kept playing because it was so fun ahaha great entry!, i'd like to see more content added to this game!
This is a really great submission! I thought it was great fun. I really like these types of games that are quick to restart and unforgiving. It really feels like challenge.
I really like the style, music and graphics fit very well together with the gameplay. Also like all the extra effects to add to shakiness. I thought about extra gameplay mechanics, such as power ups or extra lives but then decided that adding such features would not make it as elegant which your game very much is. Everything looks very crisp!
Very fun game! This is one I will keep on my computer.

great work! Very reminiscent of Super Gravitron, but with a slightly trippier vibe. I also like the inclusion of power-ups, although I felt it was a bit un-intuitive to represent them as just a larger version of your primary obstacle.
Absolutely addicting. Best game I've played so far. You may want to increase the difficulty sooner, but I otherwise felt it was well balanced. Awesome job.
Honestly still my favorite game this LD! I happily downloaded and kept Swotch on my laptop and played against a buddy of mine Sat afternoon trying out-do each other's scores
Awesome. Perfect mobile style game imo. Great soundtrack and vfx. Exciting and fun game. Think the large power ups should be different. Perhaps green, vs red for smaller boxes (danger?). Great game. Very well done.
Obviously it's just Gravitron with another feature bolted on but your execution is really great. Nice visuals and well-suited music. Will be very curious to see what you make in the future!
Really good game! Has a similar vibe to Super Hexagon, hope the ports do well (and if you can release it to Windows Phone, please do so I can play it on the go!)
Only gripe is the big blocks, I didn't know you could collide into them like the others. Maybe you could invert its colour to show that it's different so it can tell the player something significant about it.
Simple and addictive. I think this would do well as a mobile game with tilt support. The music fitted great, and the graphics were simple but again, fit well.
Ideas for expansion: Perhaps add different modes/difficulties that could keep a player hooked for longer. After a couple of minutes I'd already experienced everything the game had.
Really great game especially for something done in 48 hours. I love graphics astethics, but music is nice too (it adds a lot of energy to the game). For me it would be a great game even if done by someone twice of your age so keep up a good work :)

Nice audio, though.
I wish a good luck to everyone !
That was fairly intense
I think I'll go have a lie down now.

Keeping it to read the source latter and improve my LÖVE skills.
Thanks and keep working!
This one felt more polished. You really did great.
Also, how does one create two games in a single ludum dare? Nice job man.

The fact that you know rude is awesome ! That'd be awesome if you showed him !
(By the way, in the last level you can just walk through the door without getting the key)
Jokes aside, really nice polish on a simple but really functional idea. The work on the audio and transitions between menu and game is really awesome. Keep it up !

Small tweaks and you have a winner :D

Very nice work on the presentation! Really dug the colors/sounds/etc.
My best was 4200 something.

Reminds me a lot of Super Hexagon, too.
That aside, this game looks awesome. It super simple, but you made it feel so polished and fun.
Fantastic!

Simple and fun
