Cool game, I like the possession mechanic and love having extra objectives to complete in each level. I'd argue the ball feels maybe a little too weight-y, I think just a little more control would make it more enjoyable for me personally but I get the idea behind it. I had a lot of fun with this one overall!

Great Game brother. Absolutely loved that!!

Great use of the theme in the game mechanics. The gameplay is challenging, and it can take time to recover from mistakes, but other than that, well done!

Developer

Thanks! others have mentioned a quick restart which is definitely something I should have added

Submitted

nice game)

Interesting idea, the game is really challenging, and it would be cool to have a fast restart button that gets you to the latest checkpoint. I imagine that progamming the physics behind was not easy though, so good job!

Developer(+1)

A quick restart to last checkpoint is a great idea. Physics is Godot physics which it looks like you used as well so I guess you know how finicky it can be lol

Solid stuff, I think the game may have benefitted from a quick restart option for some of the levels, but the gameplay loop and theme interpretation were really solid. Good Work!

Developer

That's a good idea, easy to have simple things slip your mind. Someone else mentioned a button to reset to last checkpoint which is also a great idea

Nailed it! Perfect game!

I like the idea of being able to play as other balls to get passed and really like the game idea. overall great game!

Ok, maybe I'm an idiot but I was unable to cross most of the tube sections. In the bright side, I really like the game idea and the controls feel good

Developer

lol don't worry it is difficult, luckily I had cheats to test the levels :P

The possession mechanic is a nice twist to the usual "ball-controlling" formula. The game kinda suffers from looking unfinished due to the default graphics even if it's perfectly playable, just changing the textures will make it look more visually interesting.

Developer

Good advice, maybe in the future I'll try and force myself to focus on visuals more, I tend to ignore them in favor of working on stuff I find more fun lol

I liked this game. I think it would be a lot more polished if there were graphics rather than default ones. I also think the controls were a bit too slow but overall I enjoyed the game and had fun playing it!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm not much of an artist lol. Glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

Fair enough!

Game is great! Fits theme perfectly,  level is design interesting.

I really think you got something special started here.  I'd like to see you continue to work on it after the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, maybe I will. Had lots of other mechanics I worked on but they were too buggy/not fun/unfinished as they were so I had to scrap them
