It's a pretty game, but I can't get the controls to work correctly. I can get the fish to move up when I hold the spacebar, but sometimes this doesn't work.
Because the input of clicking and tapping is discrete, I wonder if it might work better to make the dial move in discrete ticks instead of being continuous.
I think this is a really neat mechanic, but I did struggle to keep track of what the player could interact with, without more key visuals. There is a pattern I know called a Bayer pattern that might work really well here to colour in the background with.
I like the idea of using momentum to move the chalk spaceship into the endgoal.
I think the physics should be tweaked a little as the ship is very slow, so it takes a long time before you know if a path is successful. You could also try adding a larger radial hitbox around the chalk to make it easier to pickup cheese.
There's appears to be a bug when migrating save files to the 1.32 version (Causing the undo function to be unresponsive). I will have a look into this.
Unforunately I can't recover your save. Due to the poor way I was previously saving data, the deserializer just times out because there's to much to work through.
I've fixed how saving works now so it should work from the beginning, but if anyone is also experiencing this issue (And because the game's still a bit buggy), I've uploaded V1.31. This version has a dev command to toggle gravity, so you can skip puzzles you've already done. If anyone sends me a DM on Twitter, I can pass you the command.
Hey, I did a little bit of optimization and I think I've fixed the movement bug, so you should still be able to move even if there is stuttering. It should take a while to load in the first instance, but if you pressed undo once and save the game by quitting, it should load much faster from then on. Hopefully the new download improves performance.
Hi everyone. The movement problem has been fixed and I've made a few optimizations! Your character should no longer get stuck at the beginning of the game and the frame stuttering should be reduced. The new download is zipped above, V1.30.
It is very poorly optimised and I think that's the problem most people are experiencing (Which sucks). I'm going to try make some tweaks to improve the performance.
Hi Everyone, there is a major problem with the game at the moment as a lot of people can only move the character once before stopping completely. I'll try to see if I can fix this during this weekend.
My only other suggestion would be to try running on the lowest settings. I don't have a diagnostics tool in the game unfortunately, so I can't check what might be causing it.
This is really neat game with great sound too. I like that it's too games in one, avoid and collecting mines at the same time. The only thing I'd change is make the mines and the players brighter, or make the background a little darker to make it easier to tell apart.
