How does your game fit the theme?
You are the STORM! But you need to play it CALM, otherwise, you won't finish on time!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We took dungeon tiles, tornado pic, and music from open sources; they are free assets.
All the rest we made from scratch.

Hee-ho. Good game. Very interesting idea

Cool game. The gameplay is original, and frustrating.
The progressivity needs to be rethink. I suggest you to begin simple, with just one color and a basic level go to the end. Then add path, collectible, then add one more color (with the key on it please), etc...
It lack a bit of fantasy. For instance, it would be great to be on earth, destroying house/city/... with mountains (instead of wall), with some scoring system.

Overall that was fun to play, and with a bit of extra work could be even more fun.

You wanna know how's storm? it's f-ing frustrated :D
Sorry for this, couldn't hold myself. but really it's too hard, couldn't make it past level 3, got cramps in my left hand. I would suggest to at least label the pushy parts with keyboard letters. i just cant map colors to letters.

Awesome, a bit difficult though.

The game’s mechanic is super original! The downside is that it’s a bit difficult to learn. Maybe using a controller would make it easier to adapt, since the storm circles could resemble the buttons on a controller.

The gameplay is really fun and interesting, trying to master the movement was a struggle but enjoyable.  It definitely took a bit of time to get used to controls, I somehow didn't realize that only time mattered and not the green orbs. I can definitely feel the rage inducing effects and the need to feel "calm". Honestly a fun way to tackle the theme by trying to be "calm" before the storm in front of you.

Love the theme twist. The movement system is hard but rewarding to get used to - it's also very clever and unique!

Simple, yet surpisingly enjoyable! Great job!

i think the movement system is pretty cool, and it makes the game very challenging. my only complaint is that its a little unclear at the start what to do exactly, but that's not a huge deal. nice game :D (also feel free to rate mine if you want)

It's an interesting idea, got myself enjoying waiting for the right time to move.

Very interesting idea!

The only thing that comes into my mind for improvement is a public leaderboard. That would make this a next level game.

Overall a pretty strong game!

Developer

good idea! thank you for the review!

Reminds me of QWOP

Difficult controls but addicting gameplay. I think if the levels were a bit more forgiving in terms of hitboxes, and maybe the red/green/blue circles being replaced be Q/W/E labels it might have been easier to get through the levels. That said it was really fun to get through and glad I can say I made it through all the levels!! Great submission!

Developer

thank you for kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
... and also glad someone actually made it through all levels, lol; we were slightly afraid we set time limits too tough

The next level button fell off my screen so didn't notice it. Thanks for pointing that out! updated my rating bacause this is a really fun concept! Very unique well done!

Submitted

Ok trying again! :D

The way you control the Storm was like something I have never seen before, and the Idea that you play as the Storm is awesome! The Controls are difficult to understand, and it took me some time to get it, but when I did, it was really fun and challenging.

thanks for review! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Amazing an innovative controls, unfortunately I really struggled to get past the first level in 4 seconds. But great work!

Developer (1 edit)

thank you! tbh we didn't plan to make first level hard, but maybe we should increase times required even more

That game control was unique!
