I thought of bending neon signs too! Although, I thought it more like an art program, because I thought of letting the person make their own custom sign. Imagine a whole virtual city scape of custom signs XD!
We didn't do it for several reasons, but two of my personal major reasons were that I just started GM, so I wasn't sure I could complete the bending part in the jam time (it sounds quite complex to implement), and also, just that I didn't know how to make it actually a game that was fun. So....
I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT!
I love the background story and sound, and if this is really how signs were made, did you actually have experience making signs!? Or do crazy research on it? It seems like such an awesome skill.
Some stuff that made it difficult for me to play.
- I didn't realize you needed a mouse at first, but I figured that out quickly, so super minor.
- I didn't quite get the gas part and kept doing it wrong for a while, so I wanted to go back to view the instructions again. I managed to figure it out eventually, though, so again, that's minor.
- When I finally got to the gameplay, I put the torch down on the vertical part of the tube and kept accidentally picking it or the tube up when not desired, but maybe you want this effect?
- During game play, I wanted to save and leave the game and didn't see a way of doing that, nor replaying levels for a better rating. However, this is a jam, so replay and saving are definitely some of the things to cut while short on time. :D
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING THIS GAME!
