Hehe oh my i have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, but I liked looking at it. I got 0 points I think. Or else the world reduced to zero, and now I am reflecting on the very concept of "Zero". Ahh. AAaah! Eh?

I was getting very low frame rates while playing, and I'm not sure if this is intentional. I like the music and the visuals.

Appealing to the eye but had no direction at all on what to do so was kinda hard haha. However it was a bit like theater watching it, so i liked it.

THe music in the game was really nice and soothing, it fit the theme of the graphics, which was great. I tried really hard, but I couldn't figure out how to play the game, all I could figure out was that I could right click and make the circle shrink faster. I wish I knew how to play, the game looked cool!

Right now, I don't understand what the goal of this game is... Not sure how to judge it.

Looks and sounds rather pretty, but I couldn't figure out how to stop/slow the circle shrinking. Left-mouse seemed to do nothing, and there didn't seem to be obvious interaction with the 'flowers'? (And the slow mouse movement outside of the circle made it physically uncomfortable to play)

Maybe I was missing something really obvious?... More detailed instructions might have made a big difference?
