I have mixed feelings about this one. I was expecting something challenging, enjoyable, just like the trailer shows. First few minutes were pretty much that, but after that you'll see the little things which you can't just "unsee". Most importantly the off-centered cube/hexagon annoyed me a lot, and I don't even have OCD.
I'm not nitpicking, but some parts of UI weren't as much straightforward as they could be, also the UI gets messed up in lower resolution (or maybe it was because of 2K display?). During the gameplay there is quite a lot of effects, but I didn't understand the "shattered glass" floating up, it just didn't blend in to the overall design. Just the fading and changing colors would do the job, too.
I was happy for reasonble amount of achievements until I found out how extremely easy they are to get. Even a person who never played such genre of games could consider them as easy to get. Of course not counting the last one, reach level 30 - I was really not enjoying playing the game as much at that stage. I spent 77 minutes playing this game, half of the time getting that last achievement.

Please don't get me wrong, I was really hyped for this game as I love rage games, but it hasn't fulfilled my expectations. It feels like it used only half of its potential, otherwise it could be a very good game.
My rating: 5/10, but for its price it is a fair deal.

And by the way, who put that giant restart button to the center of the screen in pause?!

This is one of the games where you can have fun, just drift around and listen to perfectly fitting soundtracks. If you're going to for challenges and achievements, though, prepare yourself to lots of despair and maybe even anger.
Once you find the "eureka" moment of how to accelerate and steer without spinning out and/or (mostly and) crashing into walls, you'll find another difficult task how to balance these two into one beautiful long drift you've been waiting for.
I was originally playing with keyboard, but when finally arrived my Steam Controller, I switched without any hesitation. I must say, playing with controller is a whole new perception of the game. And this comes from a person who never played with controller before.
Game itself is minimalistic, easy to play and hard to master. There's also a set of soundtracks which didn't get repetitive even after nearly 10 hours of gameplay.
I got this game on HumbleBundle during some sale, but I wouldn't hesitate and buy it for the full price. If you like this kind of games, you won't be disappointed.

9/10 would even slightly touch the wall and lose score multiplier again.

I used to play this game quite some time back when it was on Android only, and even then I knew it's one of the best games I've ever played in this genre. When I found out it's coming out on PC, I couldn't wait to get it.
Gameplay is very simple, yet hard to master. You're in control of two rotating orbs trying to avoid obstacles. Seems, and it is, pretty easy from the beginning, but it gets harder and harder. Obstacles are not only static, but they can move, rotate and split, and every misclick can be fatal (especially when you're going through the whole set without dying..).

Pros:
- simple, addictive gameplay
- great music
- a lot of levels
- oddly satisfying voiceover

+/-
- one could say some achievements are impossible to get; I found them challenging

Cons:
- couldn't find any, at least from my perspective


Overall rating: 9/10
PS. Pivot/portrait monitor setup and mouse are your friends! :)

My friend told me, that this game can't be *that* hard, if you see the lines where the obstacles will flow. I knew it will be much harder that it seems to be. Anyway, it took me over 600 attemps until I finished third level. I don't know why, but I simply couldn't beat it. The feel when you finally beat the level is awesome, though. Also, your heart wants to break out of your chest, don't let it! ;)
If you like simple but hard games like this one, don't hesitate and buy it. Totally worths it.
When you're tired and annoyed, because you can't get over 60 seconds, take a break for a few minutes. I had troubles from the beginning too, but as of now, I'm in the first places in the leaderboards and still keep playing next levels.

+ simple graphics, catchy colors
+ easy to play, hard to master
+ 5+5 levels (it's enough, trust me)

+/- decent music (does not impress, but it's not bad either; I mostly play with custom music)
+/- I couldn't get used to the controls (maybe it was my bad habit from other rage games)

- nothing

And look for patterns. They're there, you just won't see them right away. They will help you pretty much.

8/10


UPDATE: I beat the game today (13. 12. 2016), incredible feeling of satisfaction. It took me about 11 hours of actual playing time. Well, now is the time to edit my achievement showcase, I guess.
It started as fun.. almost *passed out* in the end. ;)
Go play it! Go!
