Nice little neat game!

I wouldn't have even thought of a mechanic like that!

This could be a great mobile game ngl!

Well, I haven't seen anything like that yet. I think this could become a good mobile game if you improve some things :)

Few notes:

  • It would be cool, if the camera zoomed out and back  depending on your distance to the middle.
  • The timer should tick down and not up so the player knows, how much time he has.
  • It looks like coins spawn on predefined locations - I had the coin 4 times at the same location - make it random.
  • The music gets annoying very quickly :p 
  • I would add some line, that would indicate, how high is the coin, it can be quite tricky to judge, how high should you go (something like in the picture) :)

Thanks for all your suggestions . I'll be sure to add them to the game once the jam ends. I especially love the idea of the indication of the orbit. Thanks a lot for playing my game : D

Great concept! Took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did it was super fun!

Developer

Thanks! And yes it does take a while to get the hang of :P

I really like the concept,  I did find one glitch with the online version where when you collect something you don't actually get any points?Oh, and one of my favorite parts of the game was being able to fly really fast in a circle!

Oh, I guess I never saw that problem ...  I'll be sure to fix it after the jam ends. Are you sure you went to your starting position after you collected your coins, because that's how you get points. Thanks a lot for playing my game :D

oh, sorry I didnt know you had to do that! my bad!

It needs more progression and to relate to the game jam theme.

But the concept is cool.

You have to go back to your starting point to get your coins (That's how the project relates to the theme : D ) Glad you liked it!
