Really nice effort for a first game! There's definitely more that could be here, this seems like just kinda a physics demo rather than a full game and as other people said the options you can get don't really impact it much except the sphere which just makes you win, but hopefully you learned a lot and I'm excited to see what you come up with in the future!

Developer

Thank for your feedback!

I just uploaded an expanded and polished version which addresses all mentioned feedback.

No Linux build? I WAS DECEIVED! Seriosly though, congratulations on your very first game! Even pro game devs can't preditc the scope sometimes :)

It seems too easy to play. You can just change the cube to ball then you guarantee to win

Developer

Tbh honest just did not have time to make a proper level.

I just uploaded a polished version with 5 playtested levels which should not be so easy to cheese (okay, except the first 2 because they are meant to bring the concept across).

Submitted(+1)

A cool concept, and a very good effort for your first game for someone new to programming! :)

A few suggestions would be to reset the cube properly when you press "R". If I was a sphere when I press R, I start the next round as a sphere. Also to show the player when the actions are actually happening (explain that every second the next action happens, or however it works).

Great effort, keep up the good work and good luck in all the future game jams to come. ;)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback and kind words.

I'm currently working on a polished version which already has everything you addressed fixed.

Although unfinished, the game was actually quite fun when one got past the initial confusion and buggy menus.  We'd appreciate a clearer indication of when the actions are executed and where the goal is. This was our first game jam as well, so we too struggled to finish our game in time. We hope your determination will not fade.

I will definitely check out your game.

Jams are difficult and full of lessons. But nice idea :)

Nice game. I also didn't know at first how it worked, but figured it out. And I don't know if I got closer to the goal so it would have been nice to at least see where the goal actually is. (and an exit button, I had to Alt F4 to exit)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback.

A polished version with additional features is nearly done, it just needs levels.

Haven't thought of an exit function, thanks for pointing that out, I will implement it.

I love the idea of programming actions into an object as it moves through a space. But I'm a bit confused on when the commands are executed. I landed on a platform and added a velocity command to the right and it didn't move. Then I restarted and alternated spheres and cubes and the program ended when it was about halfway down.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I'm currently working on the polished version and added indicators with timers to show when they will be executed, as well as some particles and sound effects.
Also when a cube comes to a full hold you often need a very high velocity input (orange or red) to get it moving again.

I actually finished all mechanics, fixed (hopefully) all bugs and added polish. Now I will just make some levels and a menu and then upload the revised version.

You dont give yourself enough credit in your description.  Jams are hard, especially while your early on in your learning process and just finishing is a much bigger accomplishment than people realize.  Keep making and keep learning, good work!

I love the idea! Maybe would have been nice to see the goal at the beginning before panning up to where the object was? Was a little confused if the goal was in the center or if it was just the entirety of the bottom of the screen

Developer

Thanks!

It was planned to be able to pan the camera during the programming stage, but I ran out of time to implement.

The concept has merit. I would like to see it a little more fleshed out

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I'm glad you like the concept.

I will probably spend 2 or 3 evenings to polish a little bit (camera panning, tutorial, some levels, polished visuals) before I put the project to rest.

nice game

Submitted(+1)

Interesting concept but a map would be helpful (as well as another level).

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing.

I intended to let the player pan the camera down the level in the planning stage.
I also planned on a little level sequence forcing the use of certain builds to introduce the player to the mechanics and then have 1 or 2 bigger open levels.

Because I ran out of time, both did not happen.

It was still fun to toy around a bit.
