Reminiscent of Pivvot but even more minimalist and has a Thomas Was Alone vibe due to a slight narrative thread. The controls are tight and the concept works perfectly. The last wave of stage one has killed me several times so I can't wait to see what awaits in later stages. And there's an endless mode as well Sanuku Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2009 11,954 4 38 Austria http://www.touchgameplay.com #7 Sanuku, Oct 10, 2013 Game Impressions Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Hoggy110 Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2012 2,670 0 0 Student The rainbow-fuelled nightmare of my mind https://twitter.com/Hapmatic #8 Hoggy110, Oct 10, 2013 Well, this looks pretty sweet Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #9 Connector, Oct 10, 2013 Awesome game, get it!!! Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #10 Gabrien, Oct 10, 2013 Good game. Not quite as visceral as Super Hexagon, but if the genre/play style is up your alley you'll still want this. Top notch technically/aesthetically. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #11 Connector, Oct 10, 2013 Super nice polish, even invert colors option. Way different than super hexagon. More of a puzzle game in some ways, has levels, get it! rbates Well-Known Member Sep 4, 2012 194 0 0 #12 rbates, Oct 10, 2013 Absolutely loving this game. Very challenging but has that "just once more" itch to scratch. Leaving a paint mark as you die is genius and gives you a little victory each time you pass one. I continually felt myself improve as I played. I'm on the Hope stage now which is quite a challenge! The endless mode is great as well. Instead of stopping after one death, you have three hearts which slowly recover. This gives you a chance to learn the patten and recover from death. The music and atmosphere is beautifully done. Highly recommended if you enjoy a challenge. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #13 Connector, Oct 10, 2013 Yeah, this is a must have. If you remotely like super hexagon or boson x, this game needs to be on your system!

Hate to say this, but having 100 times a funner time playing this than Monster Adventures. So get this instead. zzymyn Member Jul 21, 2011 13 1 3 Programmer Melbourne, AU https://kumobius.com #16 zzymyn, Oct 10, 2013 Why the sad face? :O.

And I like it too, so that's two. ecc82 Member Jul 16, 2013 23 0 0 South UK http://www.vectorcake.com #18 ecc82, Oct 10, 2013 Loving this game. Well polished and nice visuals. Really nice difficultly curve, am about 10 levels in. I too really like the paint spatter effect you get when you die. As you repeat a level, you can really see where it is you're coming unstuck! sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,934 0 0 #19 sapphire_neo, Oct 10, 2013 This might be GotW for me.
