Super creative take on the theme and a lot more addictive than I thought! On the level with dashing, I kept mistakenly pressing Tab for Shift and ended up having to restart the level :( . Wish there were controll settings to change the key binding. Nevertheless, a very fun game!
Very creative take on the theme! Super fun and addicting to play, and the sound is very satisfying on counter! Well done! I wish you could add mouse controls for the wheel and maybe make the wheel pattern change more predictable.
Thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the twist on the classic formula. I totally see what you mean about the dead zones, balancing the unowned blob generation is definitely something I want to improve on.
I wanted to make the UI minimal in-game and chose to put all instructions in the itch.io description. Will definitely fit it in-game for a more polished version. Thanks for the compliment on the sound effect! I had a lot of fun recording it
Thank you for the comment. Basically, the idea behind shooting out an unowned blob as a projectile adds to the overlap-slowing mechanic. When you want to chase someone, you might want to shoot a projectile to slow them; on hit, they'd choose between escaping, but you should have a better time chasing them because of the slow effect, or absorbing your projectile (which also slows) and fighting back. When you are escaping, the chaser is faced with the same options: to be slowed by your projectile or just absorb it, plus shooting it out has a recoil which gives you a little boost. I didn't have the time to tune the numbers and how much it slows to make this a more powerful mechanic, but generally I like how it plays into the whole system. Thanks for your constructive comment!
Thanks for trying it out and for the kind words! A multiplayer mode is definitely on the post-jam to-do list. I appreciate the feedback on the Firefox performance, too, I'll see what I can do to smooth that out!
