Super fun experience, great art style and immediately engaging! Could be cool to have some instruments be bought with points, to help the sense of progression. Really enjoyed it, and could see it being really fleshed out to have you build and manage a whole festival!
Thanks! As I'm someone pretty from maths myself, I'm glad it still felt good! I wanted to dive into more complex knots, knot theory and a more educational angle, but the physics challenges were enough to melt my brain... haha.
Haha, while testing I got pretty good with the controls. A longer string will allow for more complex knots, but I kept the length short-ish for web performance. So I'll add in after the jam!
Thanks for the comment! There should have been a way through the pause menu or the game should have booted you back after the voiceover finished, but I'll do some more bug testing :)
Great thumbnail and nice mechanics. With some more floors and movement options, and enemies coming from all sides, it could be a fun movement roguelike. :)
Super cool experience. The VO narrative in the mind-bending world worked well to orient me, so I knew when progress was being made. No idea how you put together something like this, so hats off to you! Definitely one of the most satisfying experiences I've played from the jam.
Super sleek game! Amazing menus, great art and solid puzzles which give just enough of a head scratch. Like another commenter mentioned, would be great to have some more SFX and a longer/more varied music track to compliment the game length. Overall super fun and polished experience!
Hello fellow knotters... insane concept and execution; the characters and narrative setup are golden. Found it very satisfying (but difficult) to conceptualise the knot from first person. But ran into a few bugs that stopped me progressing far. Great atmosphere and concept!
Thanks for the suggestion! It was at the top of my list of things to add by the end of the jam, but didn't get the time. Will defo add it in once the jam's over :)
You got further with 3D knots than me! I found multi-body interactions buggy as heck, haha. Hard to control the rope in 3D space, but I enjoyed trying. Love the thumbnail, btw!
Amazing cat animation in the load screen; seriously 10/10 vibes there. The overall presentation was great; super clean and clear what to interact with. Conceptually, I found it quite hard to get into. I was pretty confused how to balance the knots on level 2, for example, so some clearer instructions would be cool (unless I missed them?). Great presentation and unique concept :)
Hello fellow knot punners! Very ambitious project with knots being complex for both player and programmer... Great presentation and once I got the hang of it, it was fun to tie the knots. I would suggest to start waaaaaaaaaaay simpler with a very easy knot to help us get the hang of the controls then work up, as the first knot is very difficult. :)
Hello fellow knot punner. Hilarious concept and execution. The physics were perfect, and the tasks encouraged plenty of silly experimentation. Only wish there was more! (and some whacky audio). One of my favourite games so far!
Nice concept with super interesting art; never thought I'd be playing as a lovely moth! I particularly liked all the text elements and their animations, very sleek!
Nice varied game, especially given your turnaround time! I found all the controls changes very bamboozling, little indicators would be great. But it's a great boss-rush of platforming mechanics!
Cool concept with both gameplay and memory coming into play. The overall presentation was also super clear, so I was never confused despite the concept having loads of room for that... haha.
I experienced a couple of insta-deaths with the bounding enemies spawning right next to me, and it was a bummer to go back. So it could be cool to speed up the pace of the menus/loads to keep engagement.
Hello fellow knotters! Loved the polished feel of this, from the excellent menu to the gameplay and sprites. All felt excellent. Can definitely see this expanded, using score to get powerups etc true vampire survivors style. Great work!
Super fun game! I found the tutorial text a bit hard to process while playing (although I like the diegetic concept), so got stuck for a while on level 3 before reading the instructions. Super satisfying movement, and not frustrating thanks to the snappy restarts.
Great style! Love the feeling of the track flowing with you, and the particles on the drift. Like another commenter, I also enjoyed the medium a little more than the large. But I do agree the large is necessary to get the hang of the driving style, so good call imo.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my project! :)
Great puzzles, the pacing in particular was great at introducing new levels of difficulty, without ever feeling totally stumped. The "wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" at the end of the level was also very satisfying.
If you have time, would love to hear your thoughts on my game too! :)
Wow really beautiful game! Wholesome concept and great style (particularly in all the animations!). Would love to hear the world, to really get into that froggy feel🐸 If you have time, would love to hear your thoughts on my game!
Lovely art style, it really built a world around the concept. While it's hard to control, I'm in awe of your ability to check the knots worked... must be some real wizardry going on there! Check out my game (also about tying knots) if you have the chance!
Wow thanks so much for your great comment! Really glad you enjoyed it.
Well spotted on the sp, just fixed it now. And yeah, the floating text was a bug, but I felt it kind of went with the hesitance of the character (you) as you get to that point so I left it in for now. :)
Very cool concept and really enjoyed playing this with my partner. Was great to see a co-op communication in the jam, as these games are rare!
We did find it pretty tricky though. Found it very hard to figure out the pentagram, and died many times before accidentally brute forcing it. The other puzzles were much better for us, and we managed to figure them out!
