The concept is really good and it fits the theme well.  The game looks good and play is fun.  I had a little bit of difficult time getting the trajectories where I wanted, maybe some sensitivity and invert axis options would help.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! Good idea to add sensitivity and invert axis options, will definitely include them as I continue to polish the game!

Fun main idea. It was pretty difficult for me as it is now, but once I got to the orbits I definitely wanted to play more. The orbit preview lines where pretty impressive too. Seems like they must some math behind them. well done!

Developer

Thanks man! The orbits and the physics is definitely where I spent the most time on😂 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cool concept But I was too dumb to win

Developer(+1)

That's alright I might have designed the game to be a tad bit too frustrating😂😂 Thanks for stopping by!

Really cool concept for a puzzle game and well executed, too! Not much to say that other people haven't already - editing forces would be nice and some polish on the art assets is needed. A well done jam entry!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for stopping by! I agree I'd like to further polish the art as well, there's a fine like between minimalism and just being bland😂 but thanks for the feedback!

A solid entry! Nice simpe and clear visuals. With some more Content, music and fx i'd play this on my smartphone the whole day! Good job!

I only wish there was a way to edit the forces of the points before the simulation starts. Now i had to gues how much force i have to apply, and thats getting a bit frustrating over time.

PS: nice Devlog :)

Developer

Thanks so much for your support! Means a lot and it does motivate me to really polish the game well and put it out there.
The frustration was originally meant as a feature😂😂 but yes i agree it went a bit overboard, and there wont be much satisfaction if it was out of pure luck.
Thanks for stopping by my channel as well! All the best!

Slick presentation! It reminded me of Thomas Was Alone.

Your concept is solid as well. I liked having the freedom to use gravity and see the outcome (very good idea and implementation btw). However, being able to start from anywhere, at any angle, in any direction was kind of overwhelming. Maybe if I could adjust the balls' rotation and forces before the simulation began, it would make experimenting more forgiving?

Overall, unique game. I would like to see where you take it.

Thank you so much for your constructive feedback!

I initially did want the player to be able to adjust before beginning the simulation. But then I also thought making it a tad frustrating might be a good thing? Haha. And also it seemed more face  pace to just drag and release without the start button. But then after some time looking at feedbacks from everyone it does seem much better if players are able to adjust it first, at least to have a better feel of the game mechanics first.

Again, thanks so much for your support! It means a lot to me.

I came here after watching your vid on YouTube, great game! I loved the simple style mixed in with the fairly innovative mechanics!

Only none web game ive played this jam. Really like the concept and the simplistic art style it was very effective. i wasnt very good at it ngl but i genuinely with some work this could be a great mobile game. well done on the submission

Developer

Thanks so much for playing my game! I really wanted to make this a web game submission so that more people could play it conveniently, but I ran into build issues and did not have enough time to make a working HTML5 build :(

But still, thanks so much for playing! Hope the game can actually be put out as a mobile game in the future!

This was a pretty good  attempt at a physics game for your first game jam.  The game i imagine could  even be a mobile game with some polishing of music and art into the game itself.
Other than that, I guess I wasnt too  good at the game,  abit confused on how do i control the physics to complete the level.  Anyways good job !

Developer

Thanks so much for playing my game! Indeed I do hope to further polish the game and put it out as a mobile game in the future. Thanks for your feedback!

I was intrigued at the design of this game. I think the simplistic nature is calming to a certain extent. The puzzles were very challenging and a pleasure to solve.

Overall good job and good game.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Real glad to hear that you enjoyed.

Ahhh that's weird. Perhaps it has something to do with my build settings. Thanks for stopping by!
