I like the art style and core mechanic. It's a pretty satisfying game loop. Some feedback:

Maybe make some animated gifs of the core mechanic to show it off, so people don't have to install the game to see it.

It gets hard too quickly. You're probably very good at the game, but new players are still getting used to the mechanic while the game is quickly ramping up in difficulty - or maybe I'm just getting old Maybe play with the scroll speed? Start off slower and speed up over time/levels...

The icon looks bad on an iPad mini:

It looks like it's scaling badly...

 

Big Thanks Alex for the detailed feedback and useful comments.
For me particularly pleased that you are a developer Playmaker.

Unity with Playmaker literally turned my life. I'm 42 years. My specialty architect.
I worked as an architect, designer (advertising, printing, television design) I've never been programming before, but more than two years ago, I dropped everything and decided to create games. I got all my time studying Unity3d. Trying to learn C # - but it's not easy. Then I began to examine the framework for real visual programming. At that time, there were 3 Asset Store proper framework. Of these, I chose Playmayker - because I figured it faster than others, and because Playmaker forum was the most lively. I studied all the existing Playmaker lessons.
Within two years, every day I studied the Playmaker forum and downloaded and explored new actions. I literally fell in love Playmaker.

Over the 2 years I've done about 10 games with varying degrees of completeness.
Circulario - the first game that I brought to the app store. And I'm not going to stop.

Actually before your of feedback, Alex I was going to describe on forum Playmaker its history. In the near future I will. And in more detail.

As for the game:
I had planned a couple of weeks to make a simple game, try to load it on the App Store. Damn sense of perfectionism stretched development for 10 months.
I felt that I should see some results of their work to continue on...

- Above the speed of the game I did a lot of doubts and changed it in large and smaller side. Myself understand that it is necessary to test for a group of people that would choose the optimum.
- I planned to do to make a smooth acceleration rate for each level, and other complexities. It probably will Circulario2.
- annoyed that I have not tested the game on a mini iPad

Thanks, Alex for a great tool Playmaker
Thanks to the developers and the entire community Unity3D

And wait for my detailed report.

p.s. sorry for my bad english. I hope the game was better

 

Thanks for the kind words about Playmaker!

I'm sure lots of people on the Playmaker forums would enjoy a write up on Circulario...
