Good concept but a bit short. Would like to play more. It’s very interesting.

Thanks for playing!

If you're interested I will certainly be updating this game visually, mechanically and also add more levels.

Great concept! I just think you should make it clearer how to select a level.

For the longest while I trying to figure out what the numbers 12, 34, and 56 meant, haha. Eventually I realize that's the level select. Mostly just on the first level but sometimes it seems like the game doesn't register when the red balls are in the goal?

Yeah, in the last minutes of the Game Jam i couldn't figure out how to space them so it ended up looking a bit confusing. As for the game not registering that the balls are in the goals, I found a bug after submission that when you enter one goal with both balls and then just one leaves it registers the goal as empty even though there's still one ball inside. Was that the bug you've encountered or are there more?

Yeah, that's the bug that I encountered

I just fixed that bug, an improved version of the game will be uploaded as soon as the voting period ends.

Fun, short game. There are quite a few glitches with the chain/rope between the two circles, and it seems very easy. Fits the theme!

Can you elaborate on the glitches that you've encountered?

The rope and the circles start shaking and violently moving in all directions, seems like standard rope physics to me when conflicting with another collision box.

Reply
MarkDeveloper3 years ago

Do you mean when the rope gets caught within a disappearing (magenta) wall?

Reply
Renato CivadelicSubmitted3 years ago

Yes! Sorry for poorly explaining it haha

Nice game. But It was very short, I would be very happy if you would play my game.

Sadly it is very short since I had little time over the weekend, but I am planning to rework things and expand it after the voting period ends.

That was fun, I wish there were a few more levels to play through but enjoyed what you had.

And yeah, I was strapped for time this year and only had a few minutes for level design sadly. I will probably work on this after the voting is over to overhaul the graphics, music, add more levels and make it mobile friendly.

Was a fun puzzle. I think the concept was clear and concise. I think this could be a fun mobile game.
