I really like the idea. I'd be nice if you keep developing it so it's more challenging, maybe removing the dots path or adding some variation.

I made a video of my first minutes playing it. I ended up going straight to the last level. I kept playing after the video.

Great work!

Thanks for playing! I would imagine you found some other levels more difficult than the ones you selected in the video? I tried to make it generally increase in difficulty but I also tried to slowly introduce concepts, so some were 'easy' if you got the overall concept quickly (which you obviously did). A few friends played it, and someone who livestreamed all the entries on Twitch, and most seemed to struggle at least at first with some levels. Admittedly I tried to keep it easy enough so that the judges would get far enough to see the different challenge styles.

I'm considering developing it further into a full mobile game, do you think removing the dots would work? I think it might run the risk of turning it into pure trial and error / guess work. I think there's a lot of room to increase difficulty without removing the dots, I had originally planned some extra features (teleporters, rotators that turn the route/ship 90 degrees, buttons that active doors, speed boost pickups etc) but didn't have time to implement them but would do if I developed it further.

Due to the simplicity there's also a very easy possibility for procedurally generating levels, so players could set the difficulty (number of nodes, obstacles, etc), so I could maybe focus it more on community generated challenges, or a basic level editor and let people decide how difficult it should be.

Also, your video pointed out some pretty bad camera glitches ;) 

I was actually thinking about it yesterday and I thought about speed collectables and portals as well or movable/time based gems.
I agree, this is the perfect mobile game, I would totally play this while commuting.
I also agree that removing the dots might lead to trial and error, which is the worst thing that can happen.

Good luck and I hope to see it as a full game soon.
