Hey, good job! Solid core gameplay, fun to balance the ship :) The delayed/smoothed camera rotation made me somewhat motion sick though. I'm personally quite sensitive to that.

Hey, good job! Solid core gameplay, fun to balance the ship :) The delayed/smoothed camera rotation made me somewhat motion sick though. I'm personally quite sensitive to that.
the hardest and most dizzying game ive played HHAHAH. no actually the physics are really really good and smooth
This is fantastic! What a great concept. Fluid controls that feel great, but still out of control. Would make for a great speed runner game. Awesome work!
The theme is cute, and I eventually got kinda used to the controls. I even beat a few levels. Unfortunately the the constantly rotating background started to make me queasy so I stopped. Pretty interesting though!
I thought I would hate the controls, but they're actually really fun.
@gustavb @joerenglish @shootboots @haydads @zarkonnen Thanks for playing... And sorry for the motion sickness :grimacing:
That was a nice twist with the "marble" mechanics! Great job!
The idea is neat and the execution is quite good.
Unfortunately, after the first few levels, I found the game-play more frustrating than fun. I'm not certain why I found it frustrating but I suspect the rotating field of view makes it makes it feel like the ball moves in unpredictable ways because relative gravity is always shifting... I don't get motion sickness from playing games, but after this I have started to empathize with people who do!
The issues with the spinning camera aside, the music fits the feel of the game very well, the sound effects work well without being distracting, and the visuals are simple and easy to understand. Good job!
@ludokultur thanks for playing!
@squimmy Hey thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah I really struggled with trying to find a way to indicate which way is 'down'. Definitely an area that needs improved. Thanks again!
The "rain" in background is a really good idea and would probably be enough in a slower-paced game, but I think it doesn't stand out enough when you're already concentrating on steering and trying to keep the ball under control. The earlier, simpler levels were definitely enjoyable!
Man, that is pretty cool. interesting step up on the classic thrust based gameplay of Jupiter Lander. Sort of frustrating of course but that is all part of the fun of this kind of gameplay. Had a feeling this theme would prompt alot of physics based games, which I am not usually a big fan of, but this one I enjoyed. Not sure if the camera spinning might be too dizziness inducing, especially on a full screen version. Anyway, a cool gameplay mechanic solidly executed. Art was minimal but tasteful and the Tama's to rescue add a nice bit of character to stop things being too sterile. Music is also appropriate and soothing to help combat the inevitable frustration. Overall, pretty great really.
Great job ! It's really interesting to play,control are good but need to be learn, the camera can be to reactive (and as you can say than can be make me sick too) ! But the idea of the puzzles are good.
Beautiful music!
High quality game! Well done! It's easy to understand what to do and tricky to master it, yet it never feels like the game is cheating you so you just keep trying. Challenging and fun. Well done!
Amazing game! Fits the theme really well! Enjoyed playing it, I wasn't't very good at it though. I personally think once the ball hits the goal that should be it complete because that second level is super hard. Kept jumping back out! Amazing entry otherwise!
Hahahahah... great and nausieting ... I only played for a VERY short time... my age does not go well with it :smile:
Congrats on a very solid entry and a nice concept.
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
@automatonvx @robowarrior1982 @jakobthequizguy @cogcomp @glaikunt @purpledartfrog Thanks all for playing and the kind words!!
fun game with an unique control scheme! the tamas are cute :3
I thought GTA helicoper's control were difficult! LOL I really love the concept. Using FVJN as key is really fun and innovative. Congratulations on doing this on your own for compo.
While rotating screen adds more to instability aspect of the game, I feel like it makes thing a little frustrating at times. Other than this, cool entry, I liked that exhaust from thrusters pushes the ball too
Nice game, fits the theme perfectly. The engine exhaust looks very nice. Unfortunately it was too nauseating and frustrating to play for my taste. I gave up somewhere on level 3.
Nice game here, a potential nice rage quiting game like Get over It. Maybe give an option of FOV to reduce motion sickness.
I think that this game is a very fresh take on the regular platformers. The music is good and the graphics are stylish. And it really can cause a little of motion sickness)
@verysoftwares @jpatchz @kukurammus @flying-dog-fish @binaryprinciple @lesinvisible Thanks everyone for playing! Looks like I need to figure out a way to reduce the motion sickness :sweat_smile:
Great incorporation of the the theme! I managed to get stuck in the tama spawn after it reappeared. The thrust controls are slick and really enjoyed the overall tone/art/music. Nice jam!
The controls are very responsible and the idea is very original. Good theme usage. Congrats!
Just finished the game. The gameplay is very fun! Challenging but not unfair. Good job.
The particle effects and level transitions were really nice, the controls were unique and the whole game gave off a very chill vibe. Though it did make me feel a bit motion sick too.
