Great visuals, nice mechanics. Perhaps the invisible walls could have been communicated a bit clearer.

Really great graphics. I liked the pipe content and running against a clock. Nice job.

Art and music are very good for a jam. Cool idee to have a leaderboard.

Really cool graphics and music. Nice game, fun to play.

This is so much fun to speedrun! I managed to get down to 18 seconds. It's very fun to find shortcuts and get a bit faster every time. The online scoreboard is a very nice feature.

It would be nice with a reset button, since it takes some time to refresh the page every time I did amistake. Also sometimes the minigames feel a bit unfair, like suddenly having to type philanthrophist or deeperanddeeper.

I like the randomness of the minigames though. It's nice feeling lucky getting many fast ones in a row.

Thanks for your feedbacks, I have updated it with a Reset button as suggested. Also, you found out shortcuts that were not intended. I made a quick fix about that ;). Glad that you liked it.

i love the minigames in the pipes :D

thoastbot 2021-04-26 21:14

Good game, i liked the music and art a lot. Also i think the idea with the minigame tubes was fun. There was one bug i entered the same tube multiple times and had to finish multiple minigames simultaneous.

Nice work! I will say I think the "cursor in the middle" mini games seems a bit tough or perhaps even bugged because I lost to that one just about every time. All the others worked just fine though. I could actually see this being a really great "learn to type" product for kids.

WOW! Nice Game!

I realy like the mini games when you enter in a pipe. It surprised me when it first appeared.

Great Work :smile:

Really great game, it's awesome for a game jam. For suggest something i think the pipe mini game to press space when the point is in the center needs maybe one method to avoid spam space if is not intended, but mini games in the pipes are very creative and fun.

really fun game, my fastest time was 30 seconds, had a lot of trouble with the "cursor in the middle" minigame

maksime 2021-04-26 21:35

Managed to get WR with a sub 20s time, pretty proud !

stefgrizzly 2021-04-27 03:57

Wow @maksime, I don't know how you made it, you beat me at my own game =D. "Cursor in the middle" is thought but in fact, I think it the fastest one.

stefgrizzly 2021-04-27 03:58

@thoastbot Thx for your feedback, some pipes leads to the origin on purpose, it might not me be a good idea at the end.

stefgrizzly 2021-04-27 04:00

@norris-eldridge I did not think about it, but thats right it can be a good way to learn to type on the keyboard. I'll try with my kids ;)

pedrorocha 2021-04-27 17:18

Great Art ! Well done !

supergamersgames 2021-04-27 17:19

Not bad!

brainstorm67 2021-04-27 17:22

Nice game, sadly i cannot compete for the leaderboard since words challenge are a pain due to different keyboards layouts (azerty). Maybe allow to configure the movement with different keys are change the words to include only letters in co,,on for both layouts ? Game was great anyway nice music and mood

d34th0ftit4n5 2021-04-27 17:22

absolutely amazing game, however, the minigames could be cheated easily.

snip-man 2021-04-27 17:25

I just spent 15 minutes slapping my space bar. Fun game and the scoreboard was a great addition.

the-neon-shark 2021-04-27 17:28

The interchangeable minigames are nice idea for mixing up the run each time. There's one minigame where you need to "press spacebar when the dot is in the middle". I spent multiple runs trying to just nail spacebar in the middle and failed everytime -- it seems like the only correct way to play that minigame is to spam spacebar :/

I played the game about 10 times, so it's definitely got some good appeal and addiction! Some feedback on what I felt: - I'd like more minigame versatility! - Obviously, new maps are fun too :) - There's one shortcut I saw toward the end, that was a nice touch. - The left/right/jump controls didn't feel particularly "tight". Everything was a bit floaty which made it hard for me to want to speed run more times. (Obviously we're in spacesuit so floaty is part of your mood, but it just felt awkward to walk or jump sometimes!) - Jumping and bumping your head on ledges is not fun. If you can remove the hitbox on ledges, that'd feel nicer.

Overall, great little proejct!

Looks cool, plays well but the prompts need to be more obvious, even though it already is very obvious. Also as @pe7e said, the walls need to be more clearly defined. Anyway... Good game :D

kovi 2021-04-27 17:38

I like the concept to this one a lot, jumping into tubes and solving little minigames to progress. The art, and particularly the music, I rather enjoyed as well.

Obviously there's virtually infinite potential for what games or puzzles could be used in the tubes, it would be awesome to see it expanded with more ideas and variety to really challenge people. A few more sounds involved in the process would help refine it a lot as well.

The integration of the leaderboard is a fantastic touch and is what really sets up the players motivation. The inherent randomness of the game works against that just a tiny bit, but even still it's a huge factor in what makes the game fun. Excellent choice on that.

stuartc 2021-04-27 17:39

Really cool concept and fun to play!

mamon 2021-04-27 17:59

30 seconds on average, can't imagine anyone can do it faster lol :DDD kiddin Nice concept, it's a pitty this game is too short and yes, randomnness plays against leaderboard, i guess. (can't login to the leaderboard. Should I login itchio first? done. stil can't put my score)

freamdev 2021-04-27 18:10

The leaderboard alone made me play it a few more time then I originally would have, its a very cool idea. I like the minigames as well but my best run got ruined by the word deeperanddeeper seemed like an overkill compared to "go" :smiley:

drollshark 2021-04-28 13:39

It was greate ! I like it!

stefgrizzly 2021-05-18 19:15

It's crazy to know that someone made it under 20 seconds. Thx for all your suggestion, it will clearly helps me for my next games
