Man, the art and animations in this are really impressive, and I definitely like the effect that the power level has on speed and feel of the movement. It's also impressive for a jam game to be combining puzzles and action like this. Good stuff!
Yeah, I definitely want to have more mechanics and settings for the vehcile as well, including distributing power for acceleration and steering and handling. As well as really exploring forms of audio/visual/tactile feedback for the underlying mechanics in the vehicle. Not to mention lore about the sci-fi physics of the situation. There are a lot of directions to take. I am going to try to integrate them into my more longterm project that is still in pre-development, but hopefully I can revisit the concept of focusing on performance tuning in more of a sequel...
Thanks man! I was very afraid that no one would understand the game at all. I would like to make a more conventional version where you can actually drive the Hovercar after figuring out how its engine works.
After watching a few people play-test this, I'm convinced it is too hard. I'll be lowering the silver completion time and making a few tweaks after the jam so people can see the rest of the game.
Dang, It's really awesome that you made something in Odin for a jam! How are you rendering the star background? I have been working on a 2D system for a bit and i am trying to find an approach to stars beyond blending voronoi textures.
Good stuff. It's some really nice sprite, but especially some nice particle work. That always adds so much to the shoot-y kind of action, and this game nails it.
