Awesome game, highscore of 212. very enjoyable and the sounds make the game great!!!!

Submitted

I really enjoy the simple single mechanic. I especially appreciate the fact that the size is a bit generous. It makes the game feel much more fair, especially when things speed up. Like  many people have said, more sfx would have been nice, but to be fair turning this game into a rhythm game would have taken a lot of additional planning and execution. Taking the game for what it is, it's a very enjoyable deep dive into one concept.

I got to 211! This has potential to be a really great rhythm game, but that lack of sound and music is really hurting the game. Very well done, especially for 48 hours!

Submitted

That was fun! I really wanted to have some sfx or music that is rhyming! 

I liked the small detail where the eyes look at where it should go :D Good job! ^^

Submitted

A really polished and solid entry held back by the lack of sound and music. 

I was originally concerned that due to me using a track pad instead of a mouse that I would be scrolling too fast, but it handled itself quite fine.

The gameplay loop is pretty satisfying, though I sometimes found it hard to get how much time was actually left on the small ones; and the reason I lost was because one of the eyeballs was covering a tiny boio. 

Hope this feedback helps!

Lovely little game! Short, sweet, enjoyable to play and fitting the theme! I wish for more games like this on the jam! 

I got to 180. I wish there was some audio feedback!

Submitted

Fun little game! The addition of the blue circles all of the same size was really nice. It was fun to run through them all once you had it right on. Nice job!

Submitted

Definitely feel like some solid SFX and music would have made the experience much more fun, but it's still a good game regardless! I enjoyed it!

Submitted

It's simple, but cute. Nice use of the mouse wheel to integrate it with the mechanic. I do feel like I can just cheese the scale mechanic by rapidly scrolling all the way back and forth while flying across the screen, but I appreciate the concept regardless. Well made!

Submitted

I got to 227 ! I wish it had music because this looks like it has a potential for a really fun rythm game. Maybe because it has OSU vibes. 

Submitted

love use of mouse wheel!!! cute fast arcade game! got 222! would absolutely pop with sfx and music

Submitted

its so cute, i love how simple it is. also the character is a top design haha

Submitted

Really lovely concept! I feel like if you had music and timed the circles to it, that could be really satisfying. I also think it would benefit from having clearer, faster circle count-downs in the beginning. As-is, it's a great little game, but some polish audio would go a long way! 

Submitted

Fun simple game. Now unfortunately it does get boring rather quickly. Maybe you should add some variation to the game play. And there are no sounds.

Submitted

fun to play! I get a little dizzy while playing though hehe

Very simple small game! Somewhat reminds me of games such as OSU but without the rythmical aspect. That being said, while the graphics are already cute and catchy, good sound design could have gone a long way to amp up the addiction factor even harder.

Not really much to say as it is a very small game, but I liked the different circle patterns and there is definitelly a lot more complexity that can be explored to kill the repetitiveness.

Submitted

Great looking game with a nice amount of polish and style. SFX would have added a lot to the feel. Solid entry!

Submitted

Nice idea! I just spam scroll wheel XD! Hope to see you in GMTK 2025!

Submitted

Simple but fun idea :) Perhaps it should be a little more difficult, because it felt overly lenient at times. Well done!

Submitted

I like the idea! Definitely needs some sounds tho.
