The Game isn't as completed as I wished.
I planned to add a kind of colored leaderboard and a final stage, but i've been out of time.
I'll quickly work on a post-compo entry including the missing parts.
The game is pretty hard in this version(depending on processor...), I hope you'll enjoy it
Thanks for playing!
EDIT: I uploaded a first Post Compo entry, including the sounds I did'nt have the time to create, and with better transitions between the game phases(levels?), and the result is closer to what I had in mind during the Ld. I'll try to fix the collision bug soon.
--- BUG -------------------------------------------------
(A ghost collision does sometimes appear on the very beginning, just try again if you encounter it before I can get the problem right)
--- Tech -----------------------------------------------
Built with the paper.js library
Sounds with Ableton Live
--- NEW HOSTING ----------------------------------------

i feel this is a very nice game, but my machine can't handle it, will test later!
Veeeeery pretty! Nice mood and mechanics, but really, the visuals are excellent.
This game looks great, however it would be nice if it could be made more intuitive.
Very cool idea, but the difficulty doesn't increase quickly. I want more challenge !
This is great. I like how natural the simple movement becomes after a short while.
You got to reach the colored zones, I'll try to ease it a bit so that one could actually see the different phases of the game.
The game is difficult, but elegant visuals stir up curiosity and make "going deeper" to the end really worth the effort.
Pretty cool game, and the visuals are pretty clean. I did experience a random collision once, but it seemed like a one-time thing. Pretty difficult, but good.
This is kind-of hard to figure out, especially with the 30sec "intro".
Still, rotating around that thing is fun!
The clever ambient sounds create a really particular atmosphere.
The game gives some thrill and it's good.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
I noticed that the framerate and therefore the difficulty of the game depends on your processor disponibility. If the game seems too slow for you, consider about closing other programs and try again.
I'll try to fix this basic problem for the post compo, so that anyone would have the same difficulty.
Cool concept! It's a fun little game! I got to the Green "level" :)
Lol, can it be finished? I am too lazy at the moment to try that much, only got to read circle flying out...
And probably best representation of theme Minimalistic. Its just one button, circles and squares :D
Yet it is fun! Could be cool mini game in some larger game. Aka hacking a computer or something.
Yes you can! I actually barely make it to the green stage also, and I only know it lasts longer because of the dev test I did (with cheat codes), but well, maybe someone.. one day..
Nice! I love the whole idea of colors mixing to create white behind this game. The random beginning collision glitch was minorly annoying though.
Neat puzzler. Reminds me a little of super hexagon. I wasn't sure how to play at first, but figured it out after a few tries. The mechanic is pretty hard to predict. I found just tapping the x button a lot to keep from moving seemed to get me pretty far.

Blue layer plus purple circle, i can't go further, the sound and the transitions in post-compo version are really great! The most beautiful game of this LD so far.
Lovely. Graphical style reminded me of Hundreds, in a good way. The audio is super too. I think the compo version is too hard, but I tried the jam version too and it is much more fun. :)
This is really cool and really weird. Kind of alarming at first when things are just coming at you and you aren't really sure what to do.
Great game. Easy to play and requires practice, i like that combination.
Wow this entry sure is minimalistic! Quite fun to play, nice mechamic on there.
That was a nice run.
What the hell did I just play there? It was a weird experience. But it was simple to play.
Nice take on the theme there, I also liked the simplicity of it.
Good job.
My processor is absolutely terrible. Woo, easy game!
Very interesting concept executed well.
Oops yes and the sound must be desynchronised.. What's the trick, I heard I should multiply all the values in the code by the time elapsed?
Simple yet brilliant!
Very interesting idea, one key controlling is pretty cool lol.
Goof job!
Simple yet brilliant!
Very interesting idea, one key controlling is pretty cool lol.
Good job!
Very cool, I love the colors and the one button play. Great artistic game.

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.
Great game. I's hard but i'll finish it! Very nicely done.
