Fun puzzle game. I had trouble getting past level 3, but then I made it all the way until it said, this level is impossible. I was on a track pad on a laptop so I had a little trouble catching the fans as the screen scrolled, could maybe have had it zoomed out more so there wasn't a need for the panning of the camera.
@doug-graham Thank you! :) Yeah, I'd say that this game isn't really ideal for the track pad since you need some precision. I tried to zoom out, but textures started to look a bit bad, and I had some problems with the text scaling too, and I did not have the time to solve them, sadly. But yeah, it would have been better to zoom out, I agree. Also, the level you mentioned says "This level isn't impossible" :)) . So maybe I should change the text, because it seems like it can be misunderstood. Thank you again for playing my game! :D
The game is beautifully minimalistic! The controls are a bit painful, but I guess it would work great in mobile
Pleasant game, I like this kind of puzzle mechanics, where you have to show some skills on level design. Your game is promising on this side, even if it's short. I would say that the biggest problem for me is the movement of the camera that makes the aiming of the fans really hard. Also, the theme is barely evocated (although it introduces a nice feature). Otherwise, a little bit more of sound, a hundred of levels, and it's all good for me :)
Cool game! Nice level design on the puzzles! I couldn't get much further but it was fun!
Great Job
Nice Game ! Your levels are really well design to introduce each feature ! well done ! Meanwhile I will change how the camera works, sometimes it's a little annoying.
I really like the puzzle idea and I think you can create some fun levels. The graphic is simplistic but that is what I like. The think that you can use fan even on other objects is creating interesting puzzle mechanic. The only think I really do not like and I would improve is that the camera is following the player so it is hard to click on the fan when the ballon is moving. If you add more levels or even create level editor for players then I would love to play it again!
Nice game overall. It's quite hard but I had fun playing it
Pretty classy lookin lil puzzle game. I had a bit of trouble understanding which direction fans were going to blow making repeat plays feel kind of inconsistent. ( I also ended on the "not impossible" level :D )
@sol-roo Thank you! I agree, the controls aren't really that good, but I feared that if I zoomed out too much, then it would have been too hard to aim, but I guess it would have been a better sacrifice than the way it is now :)
@gaming-night Thanks for playing my game :D. Since the camera controls isn't that great, I will work on it and hopefully update the game pretty soon. And about the theme, I did not have time to make enough levels using the popping mechanic (the other levels were meant to be more introducing). Thank you again! :)
@amigopadilha Thank you! :)
@gebowunjo Thanks! :D I will try to make a post-jam update pretty soon regarding the camera, since it seems like a fairly game-breaking problem.
@gordy Thank you for your feedback :). If this makes it into a full game I will definitely add a level editor.
@jkniest Thanks you :)
@ragtagradical Thanks! The fans push the balloons in any direction (360). I should have added some visuals to indicate that :).
Really good level design ideas ! Love physics puzzle game, well done ;)
The art is very simple but manages to explain at first glance what each element is supposed to do. Also, this type of game can be easily extended with new levels so it has future potential, good job!
Hey there, good mechanic and very good visual. The level design can be a bit more for forgiving and maybe have the game be 2x more zoomed-out. I can see this game being played a lot on mobile. Well done.
@elfunck , @arnau , @publicidadeba , thank you all! :)
This is really cool and well thought out! It's quite hard to click on a fan when the camera is moving, maybe having set buttons on the keyboard for each fan would help? I like the minimalist art a lot : )
Really cool concept! I liked the gameplay and the graphics. Good idea :) I didn't found the link to the theme though
Great game! It took me 290.35 seconds to win. I think most of the time was wasted in the second level, because i didn't get the game concept at first, lol. Hope you'll update it some day with more levels.
I had fun, the mechanics are well done, I would just make a camera that get the whole view of the level instead. Clicking the fans was mostly awkward due to the camera moving a lot. Other than that, great job!
Hi Luca! Nice game. I really enjoy the puzzle concepts you introduced. However, I feel like this is not really a puzzle game. To me, it seems a bit more like a reaction-based game, with fast and precise mouse movements required. Anyway, as you said in previous comments, a zoomed-out version where the screen does not pan would have definitely been better. I'm quite sad that you didn't have the time to do that, because I would have loved to see a version where it's not as difficult to click the fans when the screen is scrolling! But, apart from that, I think the game is really promising and the minimalistic look is quite pleasing and supports the game's feel well. :)
I like the graphics, but the controls make it almost unplayable for me. I don't think a puzzle game should require this mouse handling speed.
nice game play concept, it was quite hard sometimes to hit the fans.. perhaps it would be possible to map some keys to the different fans which makes the turn on when pressed.
Great mechanics and runs really well. Good that it restarts instantly when you fail a level.
An animation on the fan would help at the beginning, to show that it's active, but I think the artwork's simplicity helps focus the gameplay.
Like others mention the camera makes precise clicking hard. Maybe assign each fan a number/key and the player presses them on their keyboard? Who knows.
Good game.
Nice game! The graphics are sharp and the game is really clean. I wasn't able to make it past level 9, but I certainly had a good time trying.
I agree with others that it was a bit challenging to click the fans while the screen moved. I also think it might be helpful to show which direction the fans pointed. Regardless, good work on the game!
Yaaay, 145.45s! I like it, really nice mechanics and great aesthetic!
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and for playing my game! :)
