Spin and dodge. Spin around the circle avoiding oncoming projectiles. Collect points to increase your score.
[Controls in game] Use mouse to select buttons. Continue from help screen using "Esc" key (PC) or "Back" (Android). Left/A, Right/D for movement.
Two Button Controls: Well, left/a turns you anti-clockwise and right/d clockwise.
Growing: Not only does the view grow, but you will too if you hold down your controls too long.
I went for a more simple approach, it wasn't going to be humorous, so that's why I took off that category. I was fairly happy with the audio, however I do feel like it could be improved. (Spoiler - As you progress, more instruments/different instruments are added)
Leader-boards are not supported through HTMl or Windows.exe, however, when the Android release is out they should work.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
[Update]
For user friendliness: Added a button that exits from help, and menu buttons now can use left/right keys to navigate. No changes to graphics, audio, gameplay. Also hopefully fixed bug that game didn't run on some pc's.
Great work! The choice of colors and minimalistic look gives a nice feeling and, together with the soundtack, it creates a really nice, relaxing mood. Loved the layering of sounds with the progress too!
The controls are really well written and it feels really good to play. The growing view adds a really nice touch to the game too! So great use of the theme! :)
Nice take on both the two button controls and growing themes. The graphics, while simple, look nice and polished, and the style is consistent. I like the introduction of more instruments as you progress, and the music's good too.
As for the gameplay, it's fun and engaging. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to minimize my movement so I could stay small and dodging at the last second.
If there's one thing that bothered me about this game it was the menu at the start. You mention nothing about using the mouse in this entry or in the game, so I was stumped for a while trying to figure out how to progress. It didn't take long for me to try clicking, but it would've been nice if that were more obvious or the main controls were used somehow.
Nonetheless, great concept, great game, great job!
This is perfect! Awesome art, creative idea, nice music and sound effects and matches the theme perfectly. Very challenging too (highest i got was 167), but lots of fun and very addictive.
Wish you could restart the game by pressing A/D or something as well so i dont have to use the mouse at all, but other than that it's great!
112! Yay! I LOVE it! It's exactly the kind of game I'd be happy to make. It's beautiful, the music is great, the SFX are super cool, and the gameplay is really neat and addictive. I mean: "Superhexagon addictive level" Great work!
Simple, fun, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/p3nh2TkdCXs
Very simple yet addictive entry. Love this minimalistic graphics and nice audio. A lot of good feedback (i.e. appearing of new circles or getting multipliers). Hi-Score: 80. :) Thanks!
Wow so addicting!!! Really fun and polished. Nice clean graphics. Definitely take this to mobile. Only issue is staying in place will get you a ton of points. Great game though. My high score is 421.
Fun stuff, simple but deceptively challenging. Controls feel nice, with just the right amount of physics in the movement. Beautiful presentation as well!
Man, this is one of those games that just digs at you to do better the next time. Simple enough that its frustrating when you cant to better. Well done.
Very nice concept and amazingly clean execution! The game plays very nicely and feels very rewarding. I love all the graphical effects that translate what's happening in the game. Absolutely amazing entry, well done!!
I wrote this before in many two buttons entries, but I have to write it again here...PEOPLE WILL LOVE THIS if you place it on the mobiles stores. Awesome work fellow dev.
Felt like the audio is what glued me strangely enough. Very solid entry! Had to weigh risk/reward alot, and I feel like any game that makes me think in that light is a cut above the rest
Just hit 295, around the time I finally understood that the blue pickups clear the board: http://i.imgur.com/Dspzf7C.png
Great minimalist design, nice use of a growing number of instruments and more music as a reward for progress, and a pretty fun arcade-style game overall. The growing-by-moving mechanic felt a little like an afterthought, and didn't make much difference; it'd be interesting to see see movement controlling or influencing the size of the circular path instead, though it was fine as is too.
I very much enjoyed playing this. Thanks for putting it together!
The audio is cool and the graphics are beautiful. The game feels polished and is nice to play. The only drawback is that the gameplay is not very original. But good job anyway !

By the way, can not run the windows version on my Win7 x64

I'm am considering creating a HD version for Android too.

Great work!
Also, minimalistic art is on point.
Fluid gameplay and great polish!
The audio was a bit distorted sometimes, but I guess that was just my phone.
Simple and addictive, playable in a few momemts, just like mobile game should be.
I'll keep it on my phone after the compo.
Good job!
The mandatory G+ connection was a bit annoying though...
Was going good until a red 'thing' appeared outta nowhere, right into me xD
Hi-Score: 80. :)
Thanks!

Too hard for me, but it's really nice.
