Where to begin? I loved the game, even though its so simple, its got that addictive quality that most modern games appear to lack!

The minimalistic approach is very refreshing given the complexity of most modern games, I think your onto a winner with this one, its better than the trash on Xbox Live Arcade and easily comparable with Geometry Wars 2 in terms of gameplay.

It just needs to be polished from what I could see, the gameplay is really good but the camera is poor due to the clipping issues so if you get that sorted out I think you'll be onto a winner Smiling

Yeah I played it too. Was awful, just awful. Me, not the game. It was a lot of fun though and I'd probably find it easier with PC controls.

Glad you liked it! I really

Glad you liked it! I really appreciate the feedback.

The camera proved to be an issue with a bunch of people, it's currenly top on our list of priorities to fix before the beta comes out. (so you all know, the second on our list is to get the blocking fixed)

I'd love to hear anyones elses critisisms on the game - if you guys dont tell us, we cant fix it Eye-wink

Cheers

Ditto

Indeed I was speaking to you guys and I love how the game is refreshing and trying something different, which you can now seldom find outside of indie games.

My main problem was also the camera, so good to hear it is a priority Eye-wink

Camera controls

i played the game at the EXPO aswell, and the camer was the only issue i found.

i think one possible solution to fix the problem would be to witch around the jump&dash controls with the zoom controls on the 360 controller at least.

by this is mean have the left and right trigger buttons for the jump and dash, and the zoom as x and a. this would allow the player to control the camera and perform the jump/dash moves without having to move their thumb from the right stick (as i also found that the zoom function was not heavily used and the positioning of the triggers on the controller are optimum for the most used commands)

overall i loved the game and cannot waitt to beta test it! i took the rurogamer survey and put "it wasn't on the list for best in show options, but my favourite game was Plain Sight" in the other comments box!

woot

i didn't take the opportunity to play, was dead tired from dragging myself around the expo. it honestly seemed extremly original. and i would say kept the most part of my interest at the expo. I hope the music is good, or you have a good few features in mind pertaining to music and such. looking forward to it.

Agreed!

Me and my 3 friends each got one of the computers there and it was soo fun! shouting obscenities at each other and having fun with the orbit style jumping. And this was before we descovered how to cash in your points! I cant wait this game its genuinely original and exciting.
Love the Art Direction.

Loved it!

Went along with a fellow coursemate and met up with two other gamers, we were killing eachother for a good 10 min on this game. I found it so relaxing yet strangely tense. Loved the simple things...colour changes and flips in the air.

Agree with all the above

I really enjoyed the game, so simple yet fun. I played it for a good 20-30 minutes when I kept coming back. Can't wait to get playing again!

Beta hasn't started yet, that's why you can't download it.
