Great concept! I've always been a huge fan of MC Escher and love a none Euclidean style games

Developer

Thanks! I wasn't expecting comparison to Escher's and I'm flattered. I find it interesting how a little change in perspective affects the reception.

Navigating the angled enviornment was super cool! Can't wait to see what you do with the idea!

Very cool concept with a very good control scheme, but it needs more gameplay features. Just don't abandon the project, because this concept may end up being a cool game.

Developer

Thanks! And I do plan on building on that concept further. I have to admit I was cutting features as the deadline was getting closer, so it will be interesting to actually implement them.

Fun game! Flying around was trippy but fun. I would love to see this game expanded with abilities like dashing or shooting! Still, it was cool to feel like I was hovering around the inside of a sphere. I think sound would have been good too to let you know where the sentinels are. Good work :D

Developer

Thanks! Sadly, I had to abandon adding sounds as I was short on time. But I think I might make the Sentinel make different sound depending on how cautious it's about your presence. And that's a good idea to also give some hints on where he is in relation to you.

And I'm glad you like the flying, it was interesting to implement it and I'm curious to see what can I do with the system I made. I had initial plan on more abilities, dashing seems to be a nice idea, and I was trying focus the game on more stealthy approach, so some abilities that help you with exploration and evasion.

Nice idea and really nice implementation! Shame there's no sound, but captures that 90's vibe well!

Developer

Thank you very much! And yeah, I was short on time, so I preferred not to mess much more with the game, but it really needs some sounds.

If you're the one I talked briefly with about Hyperbolica based on the concept of this game, I'm glad to see where you arrived at! This is a really cool game and I'd love to see it more fleshed-out at some point.

Developer

Thanks! And indeed - that was me. Glad you liked the game. I will try to improve the game after the jam. (Still, I'll probably stick to Euclidean geometry just from unusual perspective.)

i wish there was a rating for concept because i wouldve given that 5 stars.  i hope you espand upon this at some point!

Developer

Thanks! I'll try to improve the game once the jam is over :D
