Love the the 1 bit art style, and the core concept!
I could be missing something, but I agree with some of the other feedback about it feeling too difficult. The most fun run I had was when I modified the difficulty to give as much of every stat as I could get. xD
I could see any of the previously suggested ideas being a nice improvements:
- momentum to continue spinning you
- the ability to control which way you spin
- hot keys for refilling air and energy
Regardless, great job!
Thanks for the comment!
The thing about games like this it rewards people who spend the time getting used to the controls and wave patterns. I didn't realize that in a game jam entry, most people won't play it long enough to get better so maybe this genre itself was a bad idea lol.
But I definitely agree with the hotkeys! But about controlling which way you spin, my thinking was it would make the game more generic and also the theme was to "spin", and spinning usually means rotating in one direction when you think about it. If I constantly rotate between left and right it doesn't really seem like I'm spinning. Also momentum logically makes sense in the space setting, in a game like this where precision is important, I feel it can get annoying real fast. Just my initial thoughts. Will definitely try out all suggestions later with proper playtesting!
