Pretty cool concept!! Hard to master for sure but I was really invested for a while even though I sucked at using the dash mechanic. I do wanna mention it was slightly tiresome waiting for the ability loop to move to the mechanic I wanted to use at that moment, maybe instead of the purple orb, you can have some orb that lets you fast-forward to the next mechanic?
Yeah the game is meant to be played on certain timing so if you don't do it right your punished
love this very original concept! very hard to master however haha, nice game!
really cool concept!
Interesting concept on having to time when you gain certain abilities in the loop. Some challenging mechanics, but some can be creatively bypassed by using certain abilities in order. Would be fun to see where you take it further from here. :)
This is a way cool idea! Super well done.
Check out my submission if you have a sec!
Super cool game! It was tough at times, but I love beating a challenge. Especially in games with solid controls (which this one has!) However, I think that the double-jump was the go-to ability for most sections. Overall, nice job!
Cool idea, I like the puzzle-element of having to pick the correct ability to get past an obstacle a lot! Good job!
Cool and unique idea, platforming is quite decent too. My only nitpick is how there are some platforms you have to wait for, but by that time you've already changed mode to something else that can't clear it.
The concept of capability loop is great
This was a really cool idea! Timing your actions based on what ability comes next in the loop makes for some interesting gameplay choices! Nice job!
very original mechanic, nice made
Very challenging game. I love it! I like how you plan your way up with the loop power circle. Good job!
Good idea! The controls were slippery tho...
Yeah it is intentionally hard Thanks for playing :)
Fun game! I wish i didn't have to wait so long for the wheel to turn although i do appreciate the ability to change the direction
I was very fun to play this game, but it felt too hard, and I think it too difficult to fast.
Not my general type of game I enjoy, but I do like the concept. Having the rotation of the wheel forces you to either wait until you are on the right ability, or attempt without it.
Having the wheel a bit more intractable or present would be helpful, though. Such as instead of just one ability, it were going between 2 and 2 (jump + dash; gravity + speed)
Good job.
really cool concept.
I liked the time-based abilities; they encouraged more strategic decision-making. Great job :D
536 seconds to beat it. This was a nice challenging game! Gravity and speed felt like enemies in my playthrough, but that could just be me. I like the main core loop in it switching and even adding a powerup that would reverse the direction of the loop, giving you a way to control it. Nice work!
I like the game idea. Maybe the loop "power" should be in the middle of the screen because we really want to see it all the time.
i was gonna do a color boarder but forgot :0
