It feels, sounds, and looks like So Many Me.

cool

wanted to keep playing but started feeling weird, otherise very fun 

I saw this and instantly thought of 3b1b, then looked at the description...

HappyBirthday Daniel!!!

Amazing concept and visuals!

stunning visuals and so much fun. thank you for sharing!

this was what I needed until the lag

INCREDIBLE

so peak

could not beat this and it left me dizzy and confused 10/10

I've never played anything like this before. I'm very pleasantly surprised. Bravo!

Played a few levels, easy to pick up. It is good in many ways in the art and smooth sound, and confusing. It uses a hand painted tiles asset pack, but it looks unique by the infinite circular plane. I had to zoom the screen out so I could see the other clone characters in the other iterations. The zooming and spinning environment was disorienting.

this is really fun!

This is one of the coolest games I have ever played. It's not only an amazing game mechanic and concept, but it's also just really nice to look at! I had so much fun playing this!

It's kinda fun. Although its kind of confusing as well

Beautiful! I managed to get through all the levels, and the last few were very challenging! Excellent idea and execution for a platformer.

Well-made game! It took a while to beat the ending levels but it was overall an enjoyable experience. :D

The fourth level's kinda hard but great job! Most interesting concept I've seen in sometime.

This is so awesome! Definitely one of the more interesting games I've played in a while. Very beautiful.

this is very intense visually , not sure how you made it wish the controls were a bit better though i had to quit at a certain level had no clue how to beat that level also can be a bit hard on the eyes after i stopped playing was still seeing spinning shapes lol

A fractal platformer wasn't on my wishlist, mind bending!

This is so cool. It's actually really similar to a game I've been wanting to make for a long time. If you're willing and have time, I would love to have a chat about a collaboration. No pressure if you're not interested. Feel free to contact me at japhyriddle@gmail.com if you're curious. Thank you. Keep up the good work : )

THIS IS THE MOST UNUSUAL PLATFORMER IN MY LIFE

(+1)

From the thumbnail, I couldn't quite tell it was a platformer—actually thought it was an interactive art piece. But I'm glad I clicked on it out of curiosity, because the gameplay was beautifully mesmerizing. I can't even fathom how much math went into programming this... Amazing job!

Wow this is amazing! Feels like being inside a painting! I really wonder how you made it... Visuals and sound are incredible and the atmosphere is just surreal, unnerving and yet calming. Great job!

epic plus hard

wow, it’s mind blowing!

congrats mate!

Incredible work! My thoughts immediately went to that 3Blue1Brown video and this is such a cool way to experience the yourself. I really enjoy how the eyes seamlessly follow whichever player is the closest to it. Such types of interactions would be fun to explore, like passing an item over to yourself but elsewhere.

Amazing! But with a few drawbacks:

  • Wall-jump mechanics aren’t great. This isn’t as satisfying as Super Meat Boy or as Mega Man X.
  • Sometimes it is hard to see because the large sprite is off-camera and the next visible sprite is too small.
  • I gave up on that level full of floating square-ish platforms with a spiral red-line-of-death. (Due to the aforementioned reasons.)

absolutely art, epic

Such a cool game!

I really liked it. Great execution

Very interesting concept, great execution. Level with 2 fireballs gave me a hard time! Loved it. /GreenClover

This is amazing! Last level almost got me a headache! :D

spectacular

my eyes and brain are very happy after that one
