Really neat translation of weaving into a game mechanic. Struggling a little bit to connect the theme with the game, but otherwise it's a great. Nice vibe, really relaxing and a sweet gameplay loop that feels like it could be polished up into a great supporting mechanic in a full scale game. Awesome job!
Wow! What an interesting approach. There are some genius ideas in here: * Offsetting the rows, as alternating patterns are common, and the buttons are closer together to press * The oh-so satisfying click with every row * the gentle, soaring audio
Love the generated backgrounds - fits the theme perfectly, very atmospheric, great choice.
I can't imagine how you coded the vertical strands - hats off to you, I know it had to be a mind-bender.
This game nestles into its niche so well, I could see it being an every-day relaxer for those who 'click' with it.
I couldn't believe you had made this so quickly - I looked it up to be certain! Highly impressive. Incredibly well though out, and beautifully excecated. You should be very proud!
thank you for your kind words @ugly-robot ! The threads were indeed a mind bender to program, TubeGeometry in Three.js was a life saver :)
That was really a soothing experience. Once you understand how it works, that was really nice. Loved the music and the mood. Good job!
Super chill. Very relaxing. There's definitely a target audience for this.
oh wow this game is so interesting, though im so bad at the game. the atmosphere is fun and engaging. took me a minute to wrap my head around the circles. other then that this was a really fun idea and fun to play.
Neat and relaxing game! I really enjoyed seeing the results of my handiwork =). Pretty frustrating, and a bit stressful, when you mess up and have to go back to the pattern though, I maybe would have played through 1 or 2 more patterns if I hadn't failed on the last row of the pattern I was on (made it through a half dozen or so though ^_^).
Wow! In my 5 years of Ludum Dare I've actually never encountered a game like this. From the moment the game opened, you could definetely feel the calmness you were going for, and man I gotta appreciate an entry like this. :sunglasses:
Don't know how to really comment and critique the gameplay, it worked fine in my opinion. The colors and music really made this feel soothing and I can imagine some people could really like to play a game of this sort after a rough or busy day to just relax. So if that's what you guys were going for, then perfectly done! Very cool entry and congrats on making this! :star2:
The music, with the UI, with the visuals really creates a masterpiece of relaxation. I struggled with figuring out how to weave initially, but once I had figure that out, the gameplay felt natural, and relaxing! Am I a terrible person if towards the end I started to speedrun the weaving? 😂 Beautiful entry, I can see this becoming a fully released mobile app for sure.
can't access it via my work network :( ``` Web Page Blocked You have tried to access a web page that is in violation of your Internet usage policy.

A cool game but too away from delivery sorry.

@farfadet46 Gotcha. We interpreted "deliver" as "to deliver" - to perform something and wanted to do something where you don't have to - you can just enjoy playing. "You don’t have to deliver anything today. Lean in to an ancient art form that relaxes your mind and soothes your soul."
I was expecting the weaving game to be a little bit boring, but it turned out to be calming and nice!
The presentation of finished pattern in the end of the level feels really smooth and satisfying.
I made sure to play on mobile for this. It fit my phone nicely and felt like a nice way to pass time. I do wish there were more pictures instead of patterns. If you only got to see one line at a time, it would be quite satisfying to see the end result. The weaving version of an adult coloring book.
Cute and soothing, but at the same time very intense game, makes you think for a long time before each move
Really relaxing gameplay. Fit mobile really well! 21st century knitting :smile:
the sound effects and music are seriously relaxing, the visuals are sweet and harmonious
Nice and relaxing. Nice use of tap & swipe gestures on mobile. Didn't see a connection to the theme (that's okay, its optional). Nice job!

Sanna making AR stuff in gravity sketch. Wasn’t submitted but looked really cool!
eh I don't get it. Each step takes forever because you need to click, like, 5-7 buttons to advance. Looks too ugly for how pretentious it's trying to be - the threads look like plastic pipes. I can see it working for someone - assuming you make actually good visuals - but not for me and not in this state.
Personally I liked it a lot and I found it super chill and hypnotizing. In the improvements that there could be in post-jam: a button to reset all threads to 0, it would save a little time ^^ Otherwise, the rest worked very well for me!
Even though I am not typically into this kind of game, I really enjoyed the athmosphere the laid-back Synth-Piano Ttrack created. The lack of any text or descriptions after the menu screen really furthered this meditative feeling the game oozes. To be honest, I would have loved for every pattern to reveal some kind of image or or beautiful shape by finishing it but sadly this was only the case for some. Maybe in a future additin. All in all quite meditative. Well done!
The app looks incredibly awesome, but where exactly theme of ludum 53? Otherwise great job
Lovely and relaxing game. I think it'd have benefitted a lot from a yarn-like shader/texture on the threads. Right now the process is relaxing and nice, but the end result of every pattern doesn't really look that good.
Super relaxing game, just what I needed after some of the more stressful and high-focus ones this jam. Great visuals and great sound too!
Wish for more action (or rhythm) here, but the visuals and puzzles feel nice. Relaxing tunes!
I am god damn kniting machine. Brbrbrbr
good game! There seems to be some delay when I swipe the other string through, but maybe that's just me.
Nice and calm game! :slight_smile:
I like the overall mood/atmosphere, the graphics and the music. I first tried it on my laptop(with a trackpad), but I quickly switched to my phone.
I tried some of the patterns, but found it quite tedious. Then I tried the endless mode for a bit. When I returned to the home screen and came back to the game, I had to start from the first pattern again, which prompted me to stop playing. I think I would prefer real-life weaving more. :wink:
