I really loved the ripple effects and the floating ice crystals.
Along with the sound of the ice breaking, they made the game feel very calm and soothing to play.

One of my favorite so far! The music is a banger, the visuals are perfect, the game play is so smooth it's so fun to play! The colors of the purple enemies are really hard to distinguish from the red ones (I saw it was last minute haha). And I don't know if my mouse is malfunctioning but it was hard to get the purple enemies by pressing both buttons. 

Again good job, I loved it so much!!

Developer

Thanks for the amazing feedback ! 

Glad you enjoyed the music, visuals and gameplay, about the purple enemies we are aware that they are hard to distinguish from each others, but we had no time to fix that *minor* issue...

For the double clic, the timing is kinda hard (0.12s) but a longer timing was breaking some satisfaction so we took this decision to let it be *hard* to pull off.

Lovely game and I found myself clicking to the music most of the time, even if it meant letting shards get close to the crystal. It has a great vibe and all the sounds work really well together. I’m not sure if I’m colour blind, but I couldn’t tell the different between the purple and red enemies later on. Overall really fun!

Wow really hearthwarming comment thank you !
The color of the purple and red enemies are really close this mainly comes from a last minute shader addition, but we tried to make it distinguishable and might have failed 😅
Thanks for the comment !

Really fun game. I got slaughtered once the purple enemies come in. I found it around to click on both left and right. Otherwise, I love the small attention to details like the layer of music coming in when a new wave of enemies gets in. Congrats!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! I had fun implementing the music thing but im really happy with how it turned out

Developer

Thanks for the comment !
Our onboarding could use a small update after the jam, but i'm glad you enjoyed anyways :D

One of my favorites so far. Simple concept very well done. if the whole game were in the window, it would be immaculate. The progression of difficulty was great! I was shocked when the rotating crystals were added and really shocked with the double click purple! So much content for a short window, great job! 

Developer

Thank you so much ! We had trouble deciding of the game's scope, it felt like it was always too much or too little, glad to have found a middle point :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed our game :D
We tried to make a fullscreen button but it was breaking our UI saddly...
Thanks for the feedback !

Fun game, managed to get 4039 points. The distortion waves(??) were a little distracting but you get used to it.  

Developer

thank you ! We tried to dampen the distortion's intensity but a little more would've been good, ig we got used to it while testing the game lol 

Developer

Thanks !
We tried to make the distortion waves less agressive but it was hard to find the correct settings 😅
