Quite nice! It could be a little bit more forgiving, now it wants me to get all of the thingies to their goal.
Some levels are hard. That's why we made all levels available.
pretty good game, really got me thinking about how to do each level. but you could make it so most have to reach the goal not all :)
Great fun to play with the bouncing bits... Need to be very precise to avoid losing too many
Interesting concept, but maybe a slower learning curve would be nice. Also I seem to need to place every corner pixel perfect, which can get quite annoying ( played until level 7, looked at the rest though, but level 7 killed my mood ). I like the music.
The audio was great and the soft colors really made this an enjoyable experience. Such a simple concept of getting something in a hole develops into some pretty devious puzzles. The space background is nice for the theme as it complements the puzzle design in showing an example of when there can be so much to explore with so little actually there compared to a vacuum.
Amazing job for a weekend's work - very professional-looking (and sounding!)
Great game. As known, there is no way you could have to many particles in a game, and this is just great. Congratulations!
Love this game. Makes the play think outside the box and create weird polygonal shapes. Love it.
Level 6 buged when I launched the particles. (It become empty, with only the background and buttons left)
This is a lovely little puzzle game! The music makes adds a lot. I would love to see this is a mobile game!
Great game! Have you thought about porting it to touchscreen mobile devices? I think it fits those devices :).
Very good idea and really simple, fit's the theme really well.
Awesome level of polish and great idea, this was a lot of fun! Nice relaxing music too, this is a great game to unwind with coming home from work.
Clever design.
Interesting levels. Some of them are pretty challenging!
Sound is good, despite being too short. It would be even better if it was a seamless loop instead.
Very interesting concept and fitting use of the theme. Too bad I suck at it! XD
I found it difficult to visualize both the right orientation of the obstacle to redirect the particles, prior to drawing it, and the very action of putting the vertices down. Maybe with a little visual aid, like drawing a line from the vertex to the mouse position, drawing the obstacle would become much more intuitive.
But that's just a limitation of mine. The concept is very cool. Congratulations! :D
Great puzzle game! It's hard to predict where the particles will go and that makes it interesting for me
Nice mechanics, I got till level 7 before the difficulty topped me. I found it a little fiddly, especially on level 3 - maybe upping the gravity a bit on the black holes? Also a couple of times on my many attempts at level 3 I found that one dot got stuck in a stable orbit and I had to restart the level myself.
Would have been nice if every launch was deterministic, since as it is now you can launch once and fail, and then launch again (without changing anything) and succeed.
Guys, I highly advise you not to drop this little game and make it to the App Store, it'll certainly find it's audience and will earn some bucks for you :)
Awesome! Didn't expect that I play this more than 20 minutes... just wow. A button is missing where I can reset the level without deleting all my drawings, but that's a minor critic...
Well executed nice graphics nice idea, but it was little harder then what it should be. Probably work on better level design. But overall good game and considering the time limitations good job.

After you push launch it would change to stop button. This is what you are looking for.
Nice graphics and audio. Wonderful puzzle mechanic. I stopped playing at level 6 mainly because I've been rating puzzle games all night. :P Yours is the best I've played tonight though.
Nice, but i dont get how the repell holes work , got to lvl 10 then couldnt compleate it
Dam lvl10 I might have brok it https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1993209/come%20on%20little%20balls.PNG the eventualy ended up at the bottom corner :(

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Amazing game! Simple yet challenging puzzle, love the audio, totally sets the mood for the game! Congratulations!
