It looks beautiful, but it's not clear.

Developer

Thank you! It’s by no means perfect but we were able to make all the assets ourselves besides the menus and the text font. We’re learning how to make levels clearer for players too.

Fun level design and nice physics!! :)))

Wish there's a minimap for predicting obstacles / the upcoming course.

Thank you! The physics was the thing we wanted to nail down and make it fun to move. More player visibility is definitely needed too 😅 thank you for the feedback!

I think paying charge for each jump is a little too punishing. First couple times I tried, I ran out of juice almost immediately (sometimes with a battery just overhead that I can’t jump to!).

It’s a real kick to send the ball vipping through those loops tho, I could do that all day!

Developer

yeah it was something we considered but never got around to tweaking or removing. Thank you for the feedback!

This game was really  fun! It reminded me of sonic, especially the loop-dee-loop part. Great concept, great execution. Nice job! Good luck and happy jamming!

Developer

Thank you! That’s where the inspiration came from!

A really interesting game! I really liked the exploration side to the game, made it feel much more open and expansive, though it was very easy to get lost.

Yeah we're learning to get better at providing some player guidance for where they are lol, Thanks for the comment!
