Super great and polished game! Love the amount of content you managed to pack into just 4 days of development. As Icefish Software mentioned it definitely has Mini Motorways vibes.
Quite good, the simple design works well with the scaling difficulty; you can start to loop much faster once you get better upgrades, and then the fish gain more sides to match pace.
Aw, that's fair. I think having more unique ways to use the looping mechanic to defeat enemies would have helped fix that problem somewhat, but I ran short on time to expand things further. That's sort of what I was going for with the two sword-wielding enemies, because you have to hit them from behind. Anyways, thanks for playing my game!
I absolutely adore the visual style of this game! How did you make that distortion effect on the background? Is that just sine wave distortion over a static background or?
Cool game! Visuals look very polished. As others have mentioned controller support would be good, or ability to change the keybinds at least (I'm not used to not using WASD lol)
So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I tried to prioritize balancing the difficulty scaling when I was working on it, I wanted it to be challenging but not unfair as you said. :)
lol yeah when I was developing it it occurred to me that the topology was a torus, it just seemed a bit difficult to incorporate that idea into the rest of the game and I wasn't sure others would get the reference. Maybe I should have included some donut shaped enemies or something. Anyways, thanks for the review!
Interesting! The wonky controls are fun to mess with, although I'm not sure what you're supposed to do once you hold left click and the car stops. Pause menu is also pretty polished, which is nice.
I like the music, I think the enemies should be colored differently so they contrast against the background more. It was easy for me to lose track of them when playing
It doesn't show an error but the title of the window that opens is Hillbert Tower (DEBUG). I've seen some other games on here do the same behaviour where it's a black screen with '(DEBUG)' on the window title, not sure if it's an issue with my computer or not
Fun twist on the jam theme! Love the simple design and how responsive and physics-y the lasso is. The deadpan "try harder." if you die too soon is also very funny. Having the snakes that land on the ground be there permanently was probably a good design choice even if it can be frustrating, since it prevents the game from going on infinitely. It might have been even better if there's a way to clear them but it gets more and more difficult the longer the game progresses.
This was fun but I didn't read the rules until the end so I ended up just spamming the button to try and see how many objects I could shake off the edge, lol
So good! The aesthetic is amazing, minigames are fun, and the dialogue was so charming I found myself running around to interact with every little thing.
Love how meta it is! Minigames were fun and simple enough to understand immediately with no tutorials. Also I spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to the teammate at the start and then had to rush through all the minigames to make it in time, which is probably very relatable to the experience of making a game with others lol
Interesting story and unique vibe. Could definitely do with a way to skip dialogue so it's more replayable and you don't have to sit through text you've already read.
