Nice and simple game! :)

louis-denizet 2020-10-06 21:06

Wow! The art is really beautiful and it is perfectly coded, it feels so polished amazing work! I wished there was more music ambiance but great work on there!

nikolaj 2020-10-06 21:06

Wow , super simple and fun. Could be a bit more challenging, but maybe that was coming (have too many games to rate lol!)

j0ye 2020-10-06 21:07

Difficult game with a great concept. Makes for some nice riddles. The art was simple but effective. I lvoe th sun. Really looks hot.

I literally could not stop playing. I would definitely download this if you put it on the Play Store.

This is a super clean little game. Reminds me of frogger but circular. I really like the way you designed the energy so going down restores energy, but also the sun is expanding so you have less down to go. I see potential for later complex levels with a really cool combination of careful action planning and execution, these first 6 built really well on each other though, a really nice progression. Would definitely play more levels if you made them.

This game is great! I love how basic it is and how I'm able to use a controller!

ukra174 2020-10-06 21:12

Cool mechanics, nice graphics, good game;

This is very fun to play.

captainproton42 2020-10-06 21:16

@aevek Thanks a lot! I was surprised how well the mechanics interacted when I actually started making levels. Next jam I should definitely make more time for creating levels. I still have so many ideas in my head :D If I had had more time I would've really liked to add special "shop" orbits where you could buy powerups for energy pellets.

Wow this game is really polished... UI and overall design is amazing!

captainproton42 2020-10-06 21:18

@louis-denizet Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you think it feels polished :) I'm still wondering how my patchwork of a code is even holding together but I tried to focus on making clean animations this time.

captainproton42 2020-10-06 21:20

@nailuj29-gaming Thank you :) I actually wanted to also make an .apk export but had last-minute problems with Godot's APK export template. It should still work on smartphones when playing in a browser though (though I noticed some sound lag)

captainproton42 2020-10-06 21:21

@delender1100 Thank you! I was aiming for a minimalistic game so I could focus on polish instead!

haustgeirr 2020-10-06 21:45

Great take on the orbits mechanic. I couldn't finish the last level as I found the view a bit limiting. Great aesthetic, make me think of Holedown. Really nice work.

6smith 2020-10-06 22:15

great game! nice and simple mechanics, well designed levels. graphics and sound effects are great.

juansabadoperon 2020-10-06 23:16

Very good! It took me a while to understand because I didn't read the page before playing but that's on me lol. Obviously an in-game tutorial would have been better but it's a jam and clearly the time you didn't put into a tutorial was very well spent.

thought-reactor 2020-10-08 14:11

Very fun game with approachable mechanics. Loved how the difficulty ramped up and how well the levels were designed. Overall, no complaints. Very well polished entry - good job!

mikoziq 2020-10-08 21:55

Cute and fun game with nice increase of difficulty and clear mechanics. Solid and ejoyable entry. Job well done, would play on my iPad or Switch!

graebor 2020-10-09 17:07

Very cute visuals, love the consistency and level of polish throughout the art/ui. Your focus on polish definitely paid off :) Only thing that felt missing was a little bit of background music!

linetaru 2020-10-09 20:47

A good game, graphics are beautiful and it's funny to play it ! The only thing the game need is music to be a very good game.

captainproton42 2020-10-10 14:41

@haustgeirr Thank you! Good point about the view.

@6smith @thought-reactor @mikoziq Thanks a lot!

@juansabadoperon Thanks! I've been thinking about adding tutorial texts to the first level but ran out of time. I should definitely think of a way to introduce the powerups!

@graebor @linetaru Thanks you both. I always cheap out on sounds/music on my jam entries. Should probably change that in the future ;)

aune 2020-10-12 08:48

Ho, it's an elegant gamedesign and art ! I loved playing it. The level 5 and 6 are really beautiful level design pieces.

It's perfect. I subscribe, don't hesitate to make a post for a V2. You can be sure that I will come and test it !

Well done ! :)

captainproton42 2020-10-12 19:52

@aune Thanks a lot! I'm actually tempted to continue working on this. I'll see where it goes.

peterfonts 2020-10-17 09:52

Great game! With a robust idea and concept. Amazing graphics! Perhaps you can improve better the feedback, sometimes I'm confusing that what's happening... why I can't advance in the next orbit? I pick a powerup... I don't know what are the improvement (highlight that I was very stuck in level 3 xD). Please add music too! Can improve the game's mood a lot! Despite these silly things, it's an amazing and polish game! Well done! Continue making games please! :pray:

captainproton42 2020-10-18 11:13

@peterfonts Thank you so much for the feedback! I actually planned to do a small tutorial but then fell short on time. I'm regretting not prioritizing this better. Level 3 throws players a bit in the cold water and I've seen a few struggle with it.

Audio is definitely a skill I need to improve on, especially music. I hope I'll have more time or help to accomplish something next time! Feedback like yours motivates me a lot, don't worry I will continue ;)

gorrgolem 2020-10-21 10:54

It was fun, clever mechanics, good execution. Well done :)

pawciu 2020-10-26 21:15

Wow 10/10 great game!
