Oh I loved this overstimulated Rez-play, wish more games let me flowstate my way through a wiki page ✨

Really well put together aesthetic. Was unclear if the game was teaching me something or just turn off my brain and play the rhythm game

I really enjoyed this and I am deeply fascinated. Though my lack of knowledge about the sort of core concept it's based on leaves me with lingering interest. I tried to read the wikipedia article linked but it went over my head. If someone can explain in simple terms the mathematical concepts at play here I'd appreciate it.

I'm not entirely sure what i just experienced

i have no idea what happened, a bit difficult at the start but eventually my pjsekai brain went brrr and spedran it somehow, no idea what just happened but good overall

wow this is a really cool game

good game, wish you could switch the Z button to Y for European keyboards, it always throws me for a loop so i can barely progress

feels like im trying to synergize with the morphing blob.. definitely feels like alien AI sex

what an experience

fantastic

Pretty and moderately horny indeed. Interesting to see the base loop on the right, though even as a programmer my Pure Math knowledge was not able to keep up.

Intriguing and a fun play!

This game really maximizes my objective function

Well I don't know what happened but it looked and sounded good :D
I just wish different controls were used since they were really really confusing for me since I have a German keyboard (y and z are switched)

ah, something to work on for the post-jam version

10/10 would jerk off a complex mathematical concept again

Wh- I am confused. But well made game! Is there a explanation to the score at the end? It looks like some sort of Alien Language-

i just really like balanced ternary :)

Alrighty then!

i'm not sure what just happened but it was well-put-together

I do not understand. I now know that understanding is not a prerequisite for enjoyment. Thanks for the P-button!
