Thanks for the kind review SoysCodingCafe. Great idea with the time options! I had planned on them for the challenges mode which would see you design organisms to complete goals, but as a solo dev, and the time remaining in the jam drawing to a close, I abandoned those plans in favour of polishing the sandbox as much as possible.
Receive and Bestow are the sharing options, apparently though they don't work given the iframe permissions in Chrome. I can confirm they work on Firefox and iOS however.
I did try originally to have the configuration state live in the URL search parameters, but because itch serves the game as a cross domain iframe you don't have permission to modify the URL.
That's an awesome flower though, mind if I steal it to put in the game as a preset after the jam is over?
It makes sense you focused on polish, I feel like it really paid off. Very impressive work for a solo dev!
Feel free to take the flower parameters as a preset, I’d be honored to have it be part of the game! Though I will mention it’s not the most stable configuration, it can take a bit of finessing to have it maintain its shape. I find it easiest to draw some green as a base, then draw the red “petals” encircling the green, and build it up from there. Can also help to add the orange, set up the parameters, and then remove and add it again to get the layers balanced.
