Like the style

Thank you for intruducing me to the Moire effect! I feel I found most solutions by luck, rather than conscious decisions, but it was a really hypnotising experience.

Good luck with developing your game further - I see there's a lot of potential for puzzles involving this phenomenon!

Thank you for your insightful feedback—I really appreciate it. You’re absolutely right, and I realized that it can sometimes feel like the level is cleared almost unintentionally. It helped me recognize this as something I should revisit and improve.
I also really enjoyed the bold and powerful personality of your game. I’m rooting for you!

Not as easy as it looks. It’s relaxing and I get Zen-vibes. Something that’s nice to pick up just for relaxing. The sound and music helps set the vibe. Some of the sfx are a little bit too high in pitch, or loud, but it could be a personal preference. Good job.

Developer(+1)

I’m delighted to hear that people describe it as “Zen-like”—it’s a perspective I hadn’t realized myself!

To be honest, I didn’t have time to fine-tune the sound. I’ll definitely take your feedback into account as I work on improvements going forward!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! I loved this. Not so easy as I thought, and that's amazing!

Developer

It would be helpful to hear your thoughts on the difficulty level. Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Moire patterns are a very fascinating topic - and you turned it into a puzzle game. Wow! Great work, I love it.

Submitted(+1)

I haven't seen a game like this before. It kinda hurt my eyes, but it was also very interesting. I'm not sure what the slider for 'Fineness' was doing, I couldn't get past that level. Maybe a different explanation or a simpler example would be helpful!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

I was struggling to find the right balance between providing instructions and leaving things up to the player, so I really appreciate hearing your thoughts. I’ll definitely take them into account!

Interesting game, haven't seen anything like this before

Submitted(+1)

The approach to the theme was innovative, and the experience was cool! (ツ)ノ

I think it would be even better if the sound when moving the patterns was a little more pleasant to the ear.

Developer

Advice on sound from creator who make music games is really helpful! Thank you!

Such a cool optical effect. Thanks for introducing it to us! I had a really fun time playing

Developer

Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Submitted(+1)

Very interesting experimental game, I enjoyed playing it and my eyes didn't hurt :) Don't really see a strong connection with the theme though, but great work!

Developer

I was really concerned about the eye strain that often comes with moiré patterns, so I’m glad to hear you say that. Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Optical illusion as gameplay - very cool

Submitted(+1)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Eye strain is a challenge we face with this game, and we are actively working to alleviate it.
