The usual problem with the "drawing loops" as a game mechanic I've seen in other games is the ability to cheese it by just drawing huge loops continuously and rapidly. The bombs stop that from happening in this, making this a more challenging experience, but fun nonetheless. Simple but enjoyable :)
Very fun game. I would have liked to be able to see my full line to help with drawing loops, though, and on my entire way to 1000 points I never saw a single bomb. It was still fun to draw around the monsters though. I could see potential for this getting expanded into a full thing- maybe with a wider variety of monsters?
Currently the bomb has a percentage of 20% to spawn, you have an amazing luck for not getting a single one ahah.
There were some ideas I had to scrape from the game so I could submit it in time, but I might return to it in the future.
Thanks for playing!
I heard drawing circles around enemies is a good mechanic hehehe
The game feel was great overall, just had some minor issues with the loop not being recognized sometimes (our game has the same problem lol). Loved the pixel art too! :)
I was surprise about the amount of games who did the same mechanic ahah.
Finding a way to validate if the shape was circular was tough unfortunately. It is a bit buggy.
Thanks for trying my game!
Cool concept! My game ended up being very similar to this one (drawing loops around enemies to clear them in a dungeon)! In addition to that, we both somehow had the idea to use a bomb to stop the player from spamming loops everywhere xd!
I like to keep drawing circles around the screen! Love the mouse effect :D
Beeeeg circle.
pretty cool! i kinda ended up just spamming a big ring around the whole screen
