Punishing but fun. My only complaint is the &quot;3D&quot; effect (I'm not sure if it's meant to be viewed with 3D glasses or not, but it's hard on the eyes) - it would be nice to have the option to turn it off. Otherwise, great work!"},{"author_name":"LittleThor","author_uid":"26496","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1418055120,"text":"Challenging and fun game in the spirit of Super Hexagon!

But for my personal taste the game is a bit too challenging right away which takes away a bit of the fun. I rarely managed to survive longer than 10 seconds. Perhaps it would be nice to slowly increase the speed \/ difficulty.\r<br\/>The 3d effect as mentioned by someone else is a bit painful for the eyes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That said, I really did like the concept.

Very pretty, but I also echo the comments on allowing arrow + wasd so youre not controlling up\/down and left\/right with only one hand, and also continuing the music even at a game over screen - you'll start over a lot, so its kind of disruptive just to have the music start, stop, start, stop... all in all though it was fun, funny, and pretty!"}],"images":["ld31\/22654-37287c5f2c925524bc1f82c90c33f629.jpg","ld31\/22654-30057cc94747e26ac14f8fd9bbe843c5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/tqrif7nljpao52k\/Orbitalis.exe?dl=1","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/5b9b66smpg86jz2\/Orbitalis.gmz?dl=1","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"14238","g_author":"22654","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"14268","g_title":"Orbitalis","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"393","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/22654-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/22654-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Yea!
