Stylish game! When the flow begin, it's really fun (maybe a code color will be helpfull for the arrow)
Good job on this game

I really liked thew idea of the flow.
As constructive feedback I'd suggest putting the arrows bellow in flow mode on the lower side of the screen so you can see the action. Also, I'd put the red square in the center and add some quick interporlation for the arrows moving left. At the beginning it was hard to understand what was happening.
Great game overall!

Had some issues with framerate with this but once I got into it it wasn't that distracting. Couldn't get very far but the flow mode has a powerful feel to it. Nice job.

The lighting, effects and overall polish made this really enjoyable. Flow mode was really cool although hard to make out the direction of the arrows some times. Overall though its very satisfying and enjoyable :)

I Like the fast paced action. The issue with games like these is finding that balance between challenge and satisfying rewards to keep the player going. Really liked the slo mo concept.

Wow, nice implementation of "dance game mechanics" with an action game :)
This really gets player pumped up.
Graphics were on the simple side but work good enough for this type of game.
Sounds were simple. Some music to go with tight action would have been nice.

Felt so satisfying! Flow mode was cool but a lot of the time you send up pressing the wrong button randomly because you're running around wildly. Great job!

Really cool game! I like the nice and simple graphics a lot, really satisfying when the flow begin! Gameplay is fun but I think the movement is too fast, make it a bit hard to control, but overall really good entry! Great job!

The visual effect is cool, I like the idea of the flow, it works well, but the camera control could be better. I thought it was some kind of perk system at first.

This was a simple but enjoyable game. The graphics, while simple, worked well. The high speed action was very nice for the most part. The player was a bit difficult to control due to the speed. The color scheme made everything understandable. It was difficult to see the cubes health. I think the idea of flow and the integration of rhythm game gameplay could be really interesting, but the game doesn't seem to lean into it enough. If more things had dance game mechanics, it could be a fun thing to master. With its implementation, flow, while fun, feels kind of tacked on. However generally, this was a fun fast paced game.

I had a very difficult time controlling my player, he would jet off the side of the map and I basically had to stay near the middle of the play field and not move in order to actually pick off the bad guys. Maybe the movement is not using `delta time`?

Otherwise, the shooting was very fulfilling and whatever shader you're using helps spice up the geometric shapes a good bit. Good compo entry.

The controls are pretty sensitive. But it was satisfying to see the other cubes go flying in various ways. Nice details!

Hoo-nelly the player moves fast! Nice work completing the game, I just wish there was some more to the graphics.
