How does your game fit the theme?
You solve puzzles by modifying the board using modifiers. In this real-time puzzle game you never have enough modifiers to finish the leven at once, so you have to pass them around as the puzzle unfolds. Play fast, play smart, or you'll literally 'run out of controls' during the puzzle!
Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

This is a gorgeous game! I did encounter the mentioned bug quite a few times, but the puzzles were well laid out and intuitive. Maybe you can add more mechanics later on as well.
Ahh thanks for looking past the huge bugs a bit ;-) We'll definitely look into adding more features, like a tile that holds a car in it's place for 1 'tick', that could add a lot of new cool level designs! Thanks for checking it out!
my modifiers kept disappearing whilst dragging them but i liked the overall presentation and idea behind the game :)
Thanks for the feedback, and yep.. that's one of the known issues. Wish we had a couple more days >.< Thanks a bunch for playing!
sadly, I got a recurring error on the second level, which meant I couldn't play any more - but I love the concept and the level of polish on the visuals in 48 hours.
Thanks a lot, unfortunately that gamebreaking bug you've experienced snuck in while building the game for windows, no idea why. We'll need to fix it up after the jam. Thanks a bunch for playing it :)
Love the style and the puzzles!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!
Hi everyone, I'm sorry to say that in the process of exporting the game, a very game-breaking bug has appeared: cars sometimes won't drive after having taken a turn, or will ignore the turned direction altogether and crash. I'm sorry if you experience this, it will be fixed in a later version of the game!
Great game, very appealing visuals, but sometimes the car would just stop and I had to restart the level. Overall, very nice game!
Yeah, we're hearing this from a lot of people. It's on our hit-list of bugs! Thanks a bunch for playing it tho, and I'm super glad you enjoyed what's already there, even if it's in a broken state :)
This game was great. I really dug the style and I could definitely see myself playing this on my phone.
Ah thanks man!! Love to hear that :D
This is a really solid puzzle game with a nice atmosphere and good puzzle design. My only complaint is that sometimes the little white pieces would glitch out and it would become impossible to progress. But other than some random bug fixing it was really nice!
First off, thank you so much for checking it out man! It's sad indeed that they are so broken at the moment, but we'll be fixing that in a future update! I'm super glad you at least enjoyed what we have here somewhat, even if it's working against you playing the game ;)
The game seemed promising, but I didn't get very far because the car would just stop driving. https://imgur.com/a/28yRpaB
Ah, dangit! Many people seem to suffer from this issue, unfortunately.. Sadly, we can't submit a new bugfixed version, but we'll use this feedback for future versions. Thanks a bunch for playing !!
I really like the game and your execution of the theme is spot on, I think a toggle that allows the game to play a a faster rate would be nice depending on the circumstance!
That's a great suggestion, and thanks so much for checking it out! We'll keep it in mind when developing this further :)
I really like the idea, and the puzzles are interesting, but there are some really game-breaking bugs. Having to drag the modifiers slowly isn't too bad, but cars randomly stopping on turn tiles makes the game nearly unplayable. I had to redo each level multiple times because one of the cars would eventually just stop moving. At one point one of them even crashed into seemingly nothing. I eventually gave up after trying the same level over 10 times and getting stuck because of bugs. I really want to rate this game higher since I feel like it has a lot of potential, but for now I'm giving it a 2/5.
I think you're spot-on (unfortunately, haha!) We were kind of sad to have to release this game in it's current state, but a deadline is a dealine. Thanks a lot for the feedback, it's heartwarming to see that a lot of people like the concept, and it sucks that the game is just very broken at this point in time. We'll definitely fix it up after the jam tho, and hopefully it'll actually reach the potential you say it has. Thanks so much for your feedback, it's highly appreciated.
I like the idea; it really appeals to my inner programmer and puzzle solver, and the first few levels do a good job explaining how the mechanics work. The simple art style also adds quite a bit of charm.
Once the game gets to real-time modifier switching though, there seems to be a nasty bug where the modifier icon will disappear if I move the mouse too fast, causing it to glitch out and forcing me to reset the level. Later levels get pretty time-critical about this too, and there doesn't appear to be a way to pause the level without completely resetting, so I just gave up after a while. If it weren't for that (imo game-breaking) bug, I would have really clicked with this one!
You're completely right! First off, thanks a bunch for giving it a thorough try, and I'm glad you could at least enjoy some of it ^^ I guess we could have rolled with having you pre-plan levels and than hitting play, as it would have worked better with the current state of the game, but then we wouldn't be playing into the theme of the jam, so we opted to go with the original vision for the game. Unfortunately, like you said, it's become kind of unplayable unless you know what to do to avoid the glitchiness.. BUT, we're very glad to see that people like the concept, so we'll definitely try to fix everything and push out an updated version after the jam. We'll also actually make some more good levels that play into the whole concept a bit more, and elaborate a bit more, like having 3 or more cars! Thanks for playing and hopefully you'll also check it out after the jam has ended ^^
Feels like a mobile game, which isn't a bad thing. I like puzzle games a lot, the quick reactions that are needed really made me think hard.
Aw, thanks for the lovely feedback! Glad you liked it!
This is a really solid base for a game. The mechanics are simple, but the puzzles did a good job of balancing long-term planning and quick reactions. This could probably do well as a mobile game if you could port it to mobile! The only issue I ran into was the GUI flashing off and on, which made it difficult to move the modifiers around when the cars were driving. Nicely done, and congrats on submitting a complete project to the jam!
Hey there, and thanks for playing + giving feedback. Your feedback is spot-on. We're kinda sad that we had to release it in such a buggy state, but I guess that's all one big learning experience ;-) Hopefully we can get it all polished up and fixed so it can be released (maybe on mobile like you said!) in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
I really dig the idea! Could totally see this being developed further upon. A bit janky getting those modifier boxes to show but it does not really matter that much.
Thank you so much! It's definitely more of a proof of concept as we bit off a bit more than we could chew for only having one day of total jam time. We will very definitely try to fix everything for a future version! Thanks so much for the feedback :)
Car some times just stops on some turns and wont go until restarting level
Yes, unfortunately that seems to be the case for a lot of people. I have no idea why :/ Thanks for playing and the feedback tho!
Artstyle is great! This would be cool for a mobile game
Thank you, that's really kind! Maybe it would! We'll definitely think about polishing this up and actually releasing it later.
This looks really fun but I can't pass the second level, the car stops and won't go forward after turning :/
Heyo, thanks for playing anyway! And yeah, many others seem to have this problem too. I can't say exactly why, but I guess it's because of the whole system being kinda rushed because we only had one day (time constraints). We'll push out a bug fix after the jam, thanks for the feedback :D
Sweet, I'd love to see it!
Nice game, the artstyle is wonderful
Thank you so much for playing!! :)
Hi, thanks so much for playing! This seems to be the case for many other people.. I haven't experienced it myself tho. Will be working on a bug-fix as soon as the jam is over, thanks for the feedback!
