It's easy to pick up, but super difficult to master. The main premise of the game is that there is a small spinning circle that is spinning inside another circle to start. When you press the action button, it releases the constraining circle and the smaller circle within flies off with the tangential vector, with nothing acting on the circle except for the game's gravity, until it manages to successfully land inside another big circle. The way it lands will determine whether it then starts to spin and gain velocity, and thus momentum, in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion. It can be released prior to or after reaching the game's designated terminal velocity of the object. Each level has a number of point counters inside larger circles, and those circles you need to enter at least that many times to collect all of the point counters before the exit circle, in green, wi…

So about 10 minutes in, while i know isn't much time, i can tell. this is gonna be like one of those games that is fun to watch almost like asmr, its a feel good or when you're bored play this game. because its not action pact. its a chill, cool down game. my computer is a living toaster so it lags on it, but if i had a good PC i could play this way easier, though i dont think it needs a "lower" graphics setting. but after talking with the creator about the hand made levels and the endless mode, i think its safe to say that we can expect a lot from this game. so All in All i would say, really good job! Also the strawberries sprite is from celeste, which was answered by the creator

Neat game. I like the "toy" vibe it has going on, with the trailer telling you to just put on some music and play the levels, which I did. I would have liked if there was music in the game though. The one-button platforming is not exactly my favorite thing, but I did think it was well-executed, with some levels flowing really nicely and some being quite difficult. The menus were a bit wonky to navigate, but it's not like you have to spend a lot of time menuing. Very honest game overall.

A rather short, but incredibly charming, minimalist 2D platformer. A game that scratches that itch in my brain for simple, but challenging mechanics, with tight precision. Like I said before though, the game is short, having little under 120 levels. This is only slightly remedy'd with Endless, and Speedrun mode if you're into that sorta thing. Overall however, it's a good game made by one fella. The price is definitely worth it.

Grabbed this for $4.00 on sale and the amount of content I got was WELL WORTH that and more. Simple ideas evolve into complex problems and this game will keep you hooked until the end. The design work is very well done, sounds are minimal but fit everywhere you find them, visuals are simplistic but stylized and never get in the way or feel lacking. Would definitely recommend.

Quite challenging and addicting but also gets repetitive. It would be really good if it had cloud save and leaderboards for best times on each level (if there's any I haven't found it); that's a key feature for people like me who do put effort on clearing each level as quickly as possible. Having the timer but not being able to compare your score to others feels pretty incomplete. All that said, I guess it's kind of amusing for its price if you're into that type of game and get it on sale.
