Started off pretty easy, but got frantic quick when things spawned in quickly...
Quite enjoyed the simpleness of it all...
Good work..!

Interesting idea. Graphics very clean, a sort of simple elegance to it. I felt like it needed a little more complexity in the mechanics.

I really like this game! You did a great job. Also is the delay in the jump intentional?

I liked the simplicity! Never felt so stressed out over circles... Thumbs up for the xbox controller support too!

Graphics were great! Could use some music and maybe rings shouldn't spawn right next to you.

Pretty cool game! The difficulty curve of the game is really good. Took me a while to figure out that jumping over the circles doesn't give you extra points. The color scheme is cool, as is the tweet button (this is absolutely the only situation I would ever use one of those!). Downside might be that because it is top down it is sometimes hard to see when you have to jump to get over a circle. Also, every now and then the game has a little lagspike which is not something you want with games like this. This would also be a pretty fun multiplayer game!

Just a few simple elements, yet it adds up to a nice shape-avoiding game as your brain tries to piece all the different circles together. That's some elegant design right there!

Elegant is a great way to describe this. It needs some soothing tones as the circles start. Almost like rain falling.

Really good fun jumping in and out of the waves!

I can't seem to go North-West and jump at the same time, though that might just be a problem with my keyboard.

Very clean and simple visual style, looks very polished. Music complements the graphics nicely.

Played with the keyboard first then tried out a controller since you asked and everything worked flawlessly! It would just be nice to have a button to restart the game (or a cursor to move around) so you wouldn't have to grab the mouse to do it.

A cool game, jumping feels more real than I expected. The UI is polished and the graphics looks nice. Music, in my own opinion, does not really fit the tense game play though... but overall it is a great game!

The game is simple and fun. Sometimes it is impossible to escape a situation, but maybe you just should not go there. I like the simplistic aesthetics.

Hi there. Appreciate the overhead parallel lines perspective, but very tricky to judge height. Nice sounds.

Wow, a lot of polish on this for such a short timeframe. Really enjoyable game, every aesthetic touch suited it perfectly and there wasn't a single one too many. If you're continuing to work on it multiplayer might be fun to play around with ;)

I liked the appeasing feeling you get when you play, audio is great too. I think adding mouse controls would suit perfectly.

Beautifully done.

Nice music and + points for making it accessible via Phaser.js

Would have loved to see some additional power-ups, levels and global high scores

It was just my clumsiness of not having the Scroll lock on, but apart from that, it was a great game! included it in my random LD31 gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_gJeG5cgM

Lovely sound, music and minimalist graphics. Overall, it's a good funny little game. Maybe a quicker pace to begin with would be better.
