Great Concept Boss.

Something new. Make this into a commercial release I tell you.

BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.

It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

Everything is Connected

Well done! Interesting mechanic, sometimes it is not soo clear which direction but I think that just takes some time getting used to it. Keep going!

hahaha im so glad someone noticed that! when I put it in the game I giggled to myself

Where do I start?

This game is so well done. I just played a game that had 9 people on it and it was not good at all. This game had 8 and did a fantastic job. I will definitely be following you all for the next build! I would love to see a full version of this on steam some day. Totally worth it.

My only critique is sound mixing. I like the music and sound but it starts off a bit loud by default. The options button didn’t seem to work so maybe you had some sound controls in there I couldn’t get to.

All in all an amazing game. Great job to all of you!

EDIT: There’s a slight bug where if two things are facing the same direction, it will overlap the letters and you only see one instead of both. This isn’t a huge deal, but I was worried that I’d lost my other set of treads:

Thank you so much for playing and the detailed feedback! Yeah I never got around to implementing the options menu (sorry about that!) but you can bet that v2 will have that all ironed out!

nibbbbleSubmitted2 years ago

the game has a pretty cool concept backed with some really nice art. i think the directions of the treads as well as the other mechanics (like the ones that rotate you) could be a bit better communicated, but overall it's a pretty great game with lots of potential :)

Cool menu screen with the text animations! Maybe add some other moving parts in the menu to bring it to life. But having a menu screen itself in a game jam is an achievement :)
Cool puzzle! Might have been better to add an arrow too on "w" "e" etc. for even clear presentation!

Blocking yourself is so easy, I wish there was an undo button... But overall, great concept and great art !

markogamezSubmitted2 years ago

Nice idea. Little too mindbending for me :) But I admire its originality and art style. Great job!

Great game and cool idea! A little annoying to start over if you did something wrong. Anyway this is a good work!

You can also look at our game too, if you have a time :)

SUPER PUZZLE BROS.

NantoSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Very nice isometric puzzle game, which turns a simple concept into a very complex game mechanic.

Unfortunately i missed a lot of player feedback during my playtime. It was sometimes very confusing which direction i am steering, especially when rotation comes in and you have to control several bots at the same time. Very often it has happend that i have already found the solution for the puzzle, but repeatedly hit a dead and because i have pressed the wrong button. Maybe i'm just bad at this game.

Despite that i think this is a really good puzzle game with a lovely art style. Great work.

Tower of Creation

DrakesGamesDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and for playing! Certainly stuff we would like to fix in a version 2.0!

CornerSeatStudiosSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Very nice polish, only complaint is that I sometimes got confused with the controls especially when the tracks start rotating, but overall its still a very good game!

Submitted

D5RSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Very well polished with some real cool puzzle design. I sometimes confuse the keys however especially when the parts rotate but that's a minor gripe on an otherwise fantastic game!

Liked the art and the gameplay. Played quite a few levels and it's definitely a complete game that also goes with the theme.
