The web shooting and riding mechanic is really fun! The only problem I had was when I accidentally shot two webs from points very near each other. There was not way to choose which web to ride. Nice work!

It took a few moments to figure out the controls, but then it was easy to understand. I felt like a had to keep moving to be successful. Is there currently a win state? Or last as long as you can?

@baknik it's about to get more score in 300 seconds, after 300 secs the game will end automaticly.

@brandon-campbell Thanks for appreciating!!! I noticed this problem but I feel to "choose a way" will break the continusly moving process, maybe it's necessary since go the wrong way is much frustrating.

Very fun ^^ On one of my tries I had a bug where I couldn't fire all the balls I picked up, I think I fired them right against an edge and picked them back up instantly maybe? and I was locked to that colour so it ruined that run haha

also I found the trick where if you slide on a web as its still firing you will go super fast

@rickylee that's a little mechanic I thought nobody would find it XD, thank you so much for noticing that!

yizao 2023-05-01 12:30

@rickylee by the way you can throw cargos into factory to change color of it, i write it in the introduction.

I like the unique mechanics of moving with webs. Nice game idea!

So far the most fun game I've played in this jam I love the core loop, well done :)

yizao 2023-05-01 15:41

@campalans Thank you 0w0! I've tried hard to polish this idea and really appreciated your comment.

A cute game! It suits the theme well, and it's smooth to play.

One you get the hang of it, it’s so much fun to be zipping around the map shooting things. Great game!

Very satisfying to slide along the web lines to the next platform. I like the mechanics and think they are quite original.

Interesting and challenging mechanism, love from Wuhan

I love the web mechanic !

perfectsquare 2023-05-02 19:53

The web mechanic is awesome! You also did a good job balancing the game in my opinion since it's forgiving enough for you to learn the mechanics at the start but gets really crazy when you're trying to optimize and get a high score.

A Tutorial would be nice.

clemall 2023-05-03 12:43

Nice game with a good gameplay loop. Slightly hard to understand at first, a small tutorial would help, or maybe an easier level at first to have time to understand how to play.

Otherwise it's a cool game, I had fun playing it, good job :thumbsup:

I special game and translation of the theme. At first, I do not quite know how to play the game, even though there was a text guide. I then found it strategically fun to manage the web to do everything efficiently.

camden-obertop 2023-05-04 15:07

Cool simple little artstyle and little arcadey mechanics! I enjoyed playing this game quite a bit.

thomas-bringer 2023-05-04 15:10

Nice game! Idea is interesting for sure. I think the one thing to imrpove might be introducing to the game, a (maybe interactive) tutorial would make a huge difference. Make sure your players know the controls and the goal of the game. But I get the fact that it's hard to make a tutorial in 48h so good job anyway!

team-gaivot 2023-05-05 21:58

Loved the game! Very fun to play after you get the hang of the controls. I understand this is a Compo game, but I would have loved to have more feedback (mostly audio) when i get a delivery right. Great job making a game this complete in 48h!!

kiguel182 2023-05-06 10:23

Fun mechanic and interesting use of the theme! It's a bit confusing at first and it would benefit from a tutorial.

With the movement and sound effects it is very satisfying to bounce around the map and a fun game. A button to dump all held balls would be nice, but otherwise I don't have anything to add. The mechanic to change the color of balls by dropping them on the generator of a different color is a very cool mechanic that adds a nice bit of subtlety. Well done!

I did run into two bugs while playing. At one point I got a few balls stuck that I could not fire effectively ending the run as I couldn't get a different color. A different time there were a few balls stuck floating outside of any platforms but this one didn't really affect gameplay.
