This game is amazing! 5 stars all around for sure. Great soundtrack, clean visuals, and it fits the theme really well. The leaderboard makes me want to play even more and the tutorial is definitely necessary! Great work!

Favorite game so far as well, amazing job, the music is good, graphics are simple but effective, fun to play and challenging as well !

Managed to make it to the 4th place, I'm sure you cheated to get 115 seconds haha !

For a moment my brain split into three parts and I was able to play this game perfectly. This condition did not persist which was bad for my score but probably good for my life. 5 stars.

Wow man, this is the first game I play on this LD but I believe you have a real contender right here, I dont think I will play many game as good as this one , what an amazing game, the graphics are so clean and simple but works so well, and the game mechanic is so clever and well done. Great work, brilliant !

This game is amazing! You picked simple concepts and applied perfectly to the theme! The game plays so well, the audio is great and graphics too. Definitely 5 stars

Oh my god this game is amazing. Sooo well polished, really great visuals, and the music is amazing. Also, the music is so well integrated with the game! Having modules like the flashing border one actually line up with the beat (as well as basically every other module) may seem insignificant but it's really really nice. This is by far my favorite entry so far, I wouldn't mind playing just for fun in my free time
Great job :D

I wonder how long I'll stay at the number 1 spot :grin:

So good. Simple designs compounding on top of each other is genius and the cohesiveness of the whole thing is astounding! Sound design is incredible and the overall polish of such a deceptively simple idea is just fantastic. Definitely saving this one for reference later-- kudos to you!

5 stars eveywhere, eveything is WOW, from music to design, I guess it's inspired by Multitask, but damn, that's way better :)

I feel my brain splitting. This is very solid, I honestly cant find anything wrong with this one. It works so well with the jam. This is suitable as a full project. Good job

Wow that's such a clever idea, and so well executed! The game is hard but really not frustrating! Good work!

Great tutorial! Maybe could've used a skip button as well, but that's really a nitpick.

Another very small item; when it comes to the pong game: You control the ball in all other scenario's, but there it's the paddle.

I like that, even if you're not at the top, you can still see your own ranking. That might've helped people to play a few extra rounds :wink:

Subtle use of a noise shader :slight_smile: It would've been so easy to have just the colors alone, but this soft-glow/noise makes it so much better, even if people mightn't pick up on it consciously. On that note, the death effect is spot on!

P.S. Just a fun note: While rating other entries yesterday, I ran across [something](/events/ludum-dare/40/get-in-shape) quite similar to this entry. (Also, if I'm comparing anyway... it's close to the _initial concept_ of my own game, although _that_ eventually (d)evolved into [this](/events/ludum-dare/40/get-in-shape) It even includes a pong-game :upside_down:)

@sand-gardeners, @ricksquanchez, @wowa : Thanks guys !

@remco : Thanks you very much for that ! Actualy there is a skip button (O) but the command is only precised in the ludum game page :smile:

5/5 Nothing to add, it's a very strong entry, very well polished. Good job ! Could already be shipped as a finished product !

You're asking for trouble with that user name entry :p

Really fun entry! The clean graphics fit the game-play well, and the music picking up when the game gets harder also was a nice touch. It could become a nice mobile game. Great work!

Very good! A tip to everyone having problem with the "Dance Dance Revolution"-part, you only need to tap. Not go through the wall. Boosted my score a lot when I realized that. Great layering of Music :D

Very nice complete package, more for women though as they are better at multitasking.

Great game with a nerve-racking multitasking element to it!

I wasn't too good :sob: But this game is very well polished and it was all on me, maybe with abit more practice I could master it!

Tutorial was great for learning the mechanics so up's on that.

I wouldn't know what else to add/criticise :yum: you've made a great game on this site!

Cheers!

Holy guacamole, man. If this game doesn't win I'm gonna be mad. Seriously my favorite game so far, so polished and pretty. I love it. Scoreboard makes it much more goal oriented. The Audio was **AMAZING**, the multiple tracks fit together so well and somehow it seemed like the graphics were dancing to it all. 10/10 would bang

Amazing game. I love the simple graphics and music.
I like how the game seems easy at first and become really hard when there is more "mini games" on screen.
Sadly, it requires some multitask skills that I didn't have.

Good job ! =D

Awesome game! Got me on my weak point!
Couldn't get much further because I'm bad at it, but the game was awesome!

Great job

This game is really well done, congrats! The tutorial was well done, and the graphics were simple and effective. I laughed as more and more screens appeared and it was almost impossible to keep track of things. Really! Well done. :D

It's very simplistic, great design and execution, looks really polished and it's quite innovative! Music is great as well.

Dificulty level in this game gives me brain cancer though! :D

You're right. I stand corrected. The game is super awesome. I wish the tutorial was much quicker, but that's the only nitpick. Congrats.

Really well done, so meta :) The graphics are simple, but effective - honestly any additional complexity to them would just have been distracting. The gameplay is challenging and innovative, but has a really well balanced difficulty curve. The tutorial is a great touch of polish. A big mistake I made was in thinking that the movement direction game required me to to remain moving in the indicated direction, but after watching your video I see that you only have to give it a little nudge, so I guess I will have to go give it another go now!

Fun and addictive game! I think I've seen a similar game before, but still I greatly enjoyed playing it. It works very well with a controller. I like the audio and how it's layered depending on which subgames you are playing. Your game looks clean and finished, congrats!

Dang, so good. The easy to understand controls. The small bits of polish right where it needs it. And the layered music is just what pushes it over the top for me.

very solid entry! I loved the look and feel of the game, the audio is just excellent! the tutorial is effective, and the leaderboard makes it addicting/motivating to play.

but I'm just so terrible at this, 48s is as far as I could get, it's a great interpretation on the theme!

Simple but nice art, great music in sync with the gameplay, challenging, works very well with the theme and the scoreboard is a great addition, nothing to criticize on this one :) great game!
