A well thought out game that offers a fair challenge. You'll quickly get into a flow, which makes repeating levels a lot less frustrating. A very enjoyable game, especially the final level of each stage offered a nice change. Can be easily finished in one setting, but absolutely worth picking up at the discounted price.

I'm not sure exactly how I'd define this game, but you play as a dot that traverses the levels with the ability to slow down time. The music is good, and the aesthetic works. I'm about 3/5s through the game, and it gets fairly difficult, some levels taking me 30+ tries, so I think there's some appeal for gamers wanting a challenge. The game isn't super long though, I'd guess if you were dedicated or really good you could finish in maybe 3-5 hours. I'd say the game is worth about $5, assuming you enjoy the bullet hell indie genre. I will note that one issue with the controls I had was that the player's dot seems to be the only thing affected by gravity, slowly falling down if left alone. It could be a feature, but it felt like gravity wasn't removed for the player component.

This game remember me at the good old Ball-in-a-maze puzzles (Labyrinth marble games) and it is likewise addictive which means you can not stop playing it for hours to move your little glowing wisp to the end of the level. But there is more: Enemies and Endbosses to fight and ghosts of other players that you can run against competitive etc... The game mechanics and the levels are very good balanced, and well tested. Chilly music, sounds and good graphic completes it. The only criticism I have is that the tileset of the graphics doesn't change much and it could be more in sync with the music. Nice to Have: Super easy mode with checkpoints or last best position start.

I like this game. For me it is not the kind of game I can play for hours and hours, but it really shines as a nice side-game for whenever you have some minutes left to spare. Or some more minutes if you're feeling competitive and want to beat your friends' times! ;) Loading times are fast and movement is smooth like butter. As you have come to expect in this genre of games, once you die you're real fast back in game for your next attempt. #FrustrationFreeZone The soundtrack is nice and suits the game well (ironically the title/trailer song is the one I like the least) Depending on your style of play you can sink a lot of time into this game. On the other hand if you're happy with just making it through a level with no desire to get a four or five star rating... you're probably missing out on some of the fun. PS: If you ever wanted to be on top of a leaderboard, try your luck while there's still room!
