Seriously: great. My reasons for thinking this are many. There are tons of "one shot" submissions for this compo, but yours is unique (so far) in that it doesn't require accuracy or method, so much as patience. Others will tell you: patience is my favourite controller.\r\rThe glitch sound-track helps, too, as does the aesthetically pleasing "orbits". I mean, humans just love watching things turn: we are hard wired to find rotational symmetry and gears-like motion around a point attractive. When it all lines up for one moment, and you get the shot! BOOM!\r\rThe game mocks you when you lose, and because there is no save, this actually starts to get to me. Emotions, man, they are an excellent control.\r\rFinally: the fact that you have to start from the beginning each time (I mean, the fact that this is an "arcade style" game) is perfect. I wish so hard that there was a leader-board for me to climb."},{"author_name":"Kvisle","author_uid":"3818","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:57pm","epoch":1387230720,"text":"Nice little entry. I had problems beating the one with four rotating balls before I gave up. Not sure if there's a win condition, or if the levels are proceduraly made and will go on forever.\r\rI liked how the audio worked when hitting the balls - it worked well with the music.\r\rA bit frustrating use of the theme - restarting the entire game for one miss isn't very forgiving :)"},{"author_name":"jongtao","author_uid":"31552","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:59pm","epoch":1387230840,"text":"It's simple, yet just challenging enough to not be frustrating. It would be kind of cool if the balls kept moving after you tried to "shoot.""},{"author_name":"multikorv","author_uid":"8028","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 10:07pm","epoch":1387231320,"text":"Really challenging!

With the music they set up a nice mood.\rSecond, the idea of the balls stopping when your start to move is genious. The game changes from a predictive "where will the balls be" to a "lets just line them up" (it makes it easier IMO). Also, the slow moving of your ball just adds tension to the game. Congratulations!"},{"author_name":"jonask","author_uid":"31835","time":"Dec 21, 2013 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1387665600,"text":"Very fun.
