Loved the katamari feel to the game. Wish I could have gotten enough points to start collecting lampposts and buildings! The secret passage to the diamond was cool.

Since you're running around collecting gifts you always don't get to see the funny names you provided for them. On the end screen it'd be nice if you could roll over the gifts (or cursor through them with the arrow keys) and see the large version + the name (and maybe their point value).

Great job with the time given!

11 millions leaves for my mother? BBest present ever. ^^ Jokes aside. Was a very fun experience and an interesting concept. I could see this beeing expanded upon. Well done!

Thanks. I did have some additional features I wanted to add, but ran out of time. Definitely needs more gifts.

I like the game's visuals, and the music is fine the only issue is that colliders arent that well aligned they are blocking me from grabbing the gifts in other areas maybe you can work on that if you will consider updating the game otherwise keep it up :)

Dimensional Escape

waijeeDeveloper362 days ago

Thanks for playing. Yeah, the collision could be better. I followed the technique I leaned from a Code Monkey course to handle player collision via code instead of using rigid body components. I like it, but I need to figure out how to make it feel and move better.

OUR CODE DIARYSubmitted362 days ago

you should try out tile map it's easy and quick.

waijeeDeveloper362 days ago

I found where the problem was and the movement should be a lot better. Not perfect, but it won't just get stuck as often.

OUR CODE DIARYSubmitted361 days ago

That was a quick fix, good job :D.

What a great concept. Gave me those feelgood moments of Katamari with a bit of snake-like challenge. I think you made mama proud.

Descent into Lost Dimensions: Part 1

waijeeDeveloper362 days ago

Ha ha. Thanks. I hope I did make her proud!

Sweet game! It had a bit of lag on my playthrough but I believe that might've been due to my internet. Sometimes it was hard to tell what I could collect but found out that I just needed more points. The story and graphics were really good. I loved seeing the violent crab in particular. Thanks for the experience.

Wish upon a golden man

waijeeDeveloper363 days ago

Thanks. I am proud of that crab.

I was a bit confused at how the game worked at first (Some controls or something in desc. would work wonders!), good job.

Submitted

waijeeDeveloper363 days ago(+1)

Good idea. I scrambled to get the game done and submitted. I'll update the description to be more helpful.

waijeeDeveloper363 days ago

FYI, given your input, I tweaked the gifts so that pickable gifts have a glowing outline. Thanks again.
