this was a really good puzzle game! the mechanic of extending the sides was really cool and the puzzles were cool. I had one big problem when you'd move the camera but the controls wouldn't change in relation to the camera so it got kind of annoying especially for the platforming. but still a really cool game!

yeah my biggest regret is not giving science bro the bigger role I wanted for him lol.
And yeah as discussed I think the acid is just having trouble when the place is also touching another collider, so I'll make use of the ground check raycast to check for acid too without muh performance difference.

Honesly blame the URP pipeline for how good it looks, the subtle bloom and how it handles HDR emissive colours makes anything look wonderful.
I was half tempted to do HDRP but I have had many issues with it in the past, but it can look even better, if a lil too bright. And if you are gonna use it yourself, a lot more shop assets are compatible with URP than HDRP if you ever need to use them, I went with URP simply in case I wanted to use a low poly water asset I found on the store.
But thanks!

Yeah maybe I'll change it to a "drone" following the player around the test chamber, y'know, for lore reasons. And have the security cameras as a camera you can swap to from a control panel or something... because for some reason I spent time fully modelling security cameras you never see lol
Certainly needs plenty of tweaks and fixes. But thanks for the feedback, I'll have to consider implementing it.
Yeah I noticed them myself and could't figure out quite why it did that.
I think something about hitting another collider whilst entering the acid's collider? Either way I'll try to get it fixed when this jam is over, probably just as easy as chaning it from a "on enter" kind of collision or using the ground check raycast to check if the ground is acid lol. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, if I ever continue this project I'll have to figure out how to best let the player move.
I did consider using a clamp function to snap the players movementto the closest cardinal direction the camera was looking in, but I felt that would be too confusing to suddenly jolt to a diferent dirction when the camera moves.
I'll have to gather more feedback I think.
But thanks for giving some! It's always great to see

Damn thanks a lot for the feedback, it's so kind lol.
And yeah I did consider a mechanic where the player would be able to swap between different security cameras to get a better view, could have probably used numbers on keybaord and the trigger buttons on controller to swap, but I ended up just trying to design chambers around one camera's sighline due to time.
