Thanks for playing! We use the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm to fit the shape with a polygon and then compute the number of its vertices. The spell completion lag is a bit weird. The .exe version might be better.
That makes sense. Our original purpose was to make it easy to remember: pentagons are for continuous effects, and hexagons are for one-time effects. We didn't expect the jiggling. I think it can be fixed by checking the area of the loop (though we can't fix it now since gmtk jam doesn't allow modifying games during rating stage). Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for playing! Jiggling the mouse to spam spells wasn't what we intended. However, we didn't have enough time for proper playtesting during the jam, so that's what we ended up with! 😂
Interesting game! I think I ran into a small bug: it seems like some sounds get cut off when too many new ones are playing at the same time. At one point, I lost both the BGM and the rolling sound effect! 😂
This is one of the most ambitious and atmospheric games I've seen in a jam. The experience really reminds me of Outer Wilds. I can't believe you made such a masterpiece in just four days! Truly fantastic work.
Wow, this really reminds me of Watch Dogs! I have a suggestion: could you add the control instructions to the description? Currently, they're hidden in the dialogue boxes and can be easily missed/skipped.
Cool mechanic! It reminds me of ElecHead. There were some frustrating moments, though. For example, I had to walk to specific areas just to be able to jump, interact, or toggle my gear. However, the ending made it all worthwhile.
