Quite cool. The way a shape encloses itself the moment you get inside of it felt kind of jarring to me, but the concept was new and enjoyable. Nice work.
Also this totally fits the theme, you're going beneath (or behind) the surface of shapes, which serve as the main obstacle.
Never seen the concept before. Very original.
The pixel lagged a bit for me (OSX).
My pixel seemed to just rotate around my mouse at some points, making it completely impossible. When that didn't happen, seemed fun after I got the hang of what I was doing. Is a little hard to tell which shapes have been made safe and which are still harmful.
Best score: 925
Very simple game. Doesn't seem to match the theme. Anyway, nice job!
I like it! Does a lot using a little.
At first I didn't understand the shapes closing once you pass them, but once I figured that out the game totally clicked for me.
I'm curious as to how the game would play if the pixel followed your cursor perfectly.
Nice high score game! I really like the concept, it's easy to pick up and understand.
You can get trapped very quickly when a bunch of the shapes are on the screen. Nice job!
Yet another unique game mechanic from you. :)
Player is a little small and perhaps hard to keep track of when you are running it up against the inner bounds.
Anyway, its still a nice entry on your part. Goes right along with the style of your previous entry as well! Thumbs up.
It took me a while to truly understand the game (things like not being able to pass through the box, your character having to move towards the cursor, etc). Like Tifu mentioned, it was too difficult to distinguish between the cleared shapes and the shapes that will kill you; eventually you end up with a screen with lines all over it, and you have no idea whether a specific line is safe or not. I also didn't really see an relation to the theme; maybe it was just too abstract.
This game was TOUUUUUGH! It took me a while to figure out what I was doing, and even after that I found it very hard. This is a great little concept though and I think with some polish on it you could actually market it.
Nice and simplistic :) Shapes closing is a little bit awkward.
A little hard, I wish that the dot would follow your cursor perfectly :)
Very fun, seems like the foundation of an iOS classic waiting to happen.
Didn't really understand how the thing worked. I guess when I entered a circle, it was passable, so I could go through it, but then when I did the same things to squares, they turned into death zones? Also, it's a bit laggy on the web client for Mac OS X.
Hmmm, it seems like there are a few shape combinations that can trap you completely. I think you can get stuck. Otherwise, great sound effects, fun game! Touch controls would be awesome, I bet!
I really like the concept but it is hard to tell which line kills you and which one don't.
At first I didn't even see the tiny dot. I also got huge lag between mouse movement and dot movement. Shame that these technical problems hinder what could be a really fun game.
I too had the dot orbiting around the mouse sometimes, making it impossible to continue. Other than that, could be a fun game with a bit of tuning. For now it's too hard/vague for me to really enjoy on the long run. The concept is good and the art works well with it.
It was a good ideia, but the controls were hard! I only got to 750m before the dot started spinning like crazy!!
I got to 730. The dot lags a bit behind the mouse, but maybe that's on purpose (the dot has a certain maximum speed and you need to consider that while moving the pointer).
Controls felt a bit unresponsive, but I really like the Super Hexagon-ish concept!
Super challenging, fun game. I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/f3WpQDAZRnI
Very Super Hexagon-ish, but not in a clone-y sort of way. I like it.
The "dot", being a single pizel, is almost impossible to see, AND is covered up by the mouse cursor, unless I'm moving it. Plays like an awkward Super Hexagon.
Interesting mechanic, took me a second to figure out what to do, but nice concept. Also liked the extra difficult of adding the lines.

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.
This really doesnt fit the theme... Other than that, it is really fun, very addictive. Seems allot like Super Hexagon tbh
