Really simple concept, I thought it was an orbiting model. Fast and simple game mechanics, and the camera changes make it hard and satisfying.

Simple but clever idea, nice execution. I wish there were more levels !

really nice! my only complaint is having to start from scratch if you mess up, get's pretty frustrating :)

Simple and clean idea, I really love it. But the game's freezing a little bit.

Fits the theme perfectly. simple but with very strong gameplay. Very frustrating too, looping around a second time, but fun!

intresting concept. a little difficult but well designed.
the second level gave me an inspiration for a game to take place on a vinyl :)

I love this! Really great concept. The levels are a little too long, and it's boring to get trapped on a really big loop, but I love the idea and had a lot of fun playing.

This is really great. Do you have plans on expanding the idea?

Well done :) I really like this take on the theme.

very fun to play.
the graphics brought me memories of the Mame... it feels like playing an old coin-up game from the 80s.
with some basic sounds it would have been a lot better.

Awesome simple yet original and innovative concept. Love the smoothness of the graphics. I only wish there was sound.

I'm liking this one. Good puzzle game. More polish would have been nice but the foundation is awesome.

Pretty awesome! I love the concept and it gets pretty crazy when there are spheres everywhere.

Very well put together. A very simple idea, with a lot of depth behind it.

Liked it, fun gameplay, getting hard in the end but really enjoyable.

Nice! Good use of minimal mechanics, and meta-use of the theme with everything just being code. Rage-inducing in a (mostly) good way.

Brilliant idea; really fun to play.

A novel and interesting mechanic combined with decent level design.

Great simple concept well executed. I can easily see this expanding in lots of ways.

THIS is minimalist! Great game you have here, congrats!

nice idea, I think I've never seen something like that before.

I also like how it only uses two buttons - this has some potential on mobile devices (if you add some music)

I liked it, well done

Loved the mechanic! I especially liked level 3. Could have done with some audio, but nevertheless, a fantastic game!

Game controls are smooth, after I got the hang of it. It confused a lot at first.
Core idea is pretty good.
The game is a bit hard but level design is well thought out.
Missed sounds :(

Really awesome, enjoyed it to bits. Even if the frustration of failure was my constant companion.

Super simple. Unique. Wished the camera was pulled away slightly. Missed sound. Will play again. FUN!

Super duper! Reminds me of Orbient but even simpler. A full game with this core mechanic seems like fun to make.

Nice concept. Could be a little easier at first. It's nice to see unique concepts, this was really enjoyable. In-game instructs are always welcome. No sounds?!?

Very nice little concept, I really enjoyed playing it

My brain struggled quite a bit with the motion being perpendicular to the direction of travel. Maybe it's because I've played too many games based on actual physics where you continue to travel in the direction of motion when you break orbit.

Nicely done otherwise though.

Oh this is an awesome game :) Gets hard pretty quickly, and could use some audio :)

Neat concept. Reminds me of staring at spinning records when I was a kid. I got to the fourth or fifth level where you're surrounded by red circles.
