this game was pretty fun!
I grapple/hook mechanic was really cool. There was a brief moment where I thought a wheel came off of my space car 😅
It was easy to miss messages if you weren't paying attention, but otherwise I like how the game communicated objectives.
I really wanted to add a small objective overview to the UI but time was short for this jam. Haha they do look like wheels, perhaps I should have shaped them differently.
Thanks for trying it out.
Love the concept. Found the controls to be a little too imprecise for my own tastes but I imagine part of that is a design decision.
Thanks for giving it a try!
This is a fun game and will need to find out how you made the "hook" mechanics because i will want to implement something similar in my game.
Atmospheric and I LOVED drifting around :D I was the laziest trawler, i just kept doing doughnuts.
Haha I'm glad you had fun. Trawlers work hard so they earn themselves a right to a little fun spacing around!
The hooking isn't implemented that well too be honest it was just "good enough" with everything else I needed to do. In short there's no physics just a line renderer a vector maths, happy to go into more detail or I'll just post the repo directly if I can ever be bothered to upload it :D.
Edit: It was a little quicker than I thought so here a direct link if it helps: https://github.com/WinterProgramming/Trawler861/blob/main/Scripts/Ship/tow_line....
Thanks a lot, saved this for later.
One more thing: glow effects would look cool in this game.
Cheers!
Oh yeah absolutely. I meant to add them, even enabled a few of the post processing effects, but missed something. Then I ran out of time.
Very cool! I couldn't really read the text unfortunately so I was never entirely sure what was being asked of me. But I enjoyed zooming around and lassoing stuff.
Hi Otter,
Sorry about that, were you playing in full screen?
Unfortunately I originally chose a font that didn't work in web builds then had to quickly find another.
