The link does not work :confused:

[Edit] Ok I found the .exe in the sources code.

@fredspipa Dowload the source code and extract the zip file in Bin folder.

Good game. Good atmosphere. :thumbsup: A bit too long.

The download link on this page fails. I was able to find the build embedded in the github page. You might consider doing a release / tag to attach your builds in github (As an example, [here's mine](https://github.com/cyberpuffin-digital/Oregon-Startrail/releases/tag/untagged-f0e53eb62309431fc89f)).

I did get a bit confused as to the goal, 5 minutes is a long time to go without feedback. It could be good to break it up into smaller levels / segments, this way you can train your player how to get a higher score.

Here's the direct link to the zip file from your github repo (in case other struggle to find it): https://github.com/IndieRonin/Space-Sumo/raw/main/Bin/rift_escape_windows_x86_64.zip

edit: can't post links here?

@fifut @cyber-puffin @fredspipa Wow sorry guys I'll fix it now Edit: Ok the link seems to be fixed now

Graphics of the rifts looks great, pretty cool "interstellar" black hole vibes!

Also astonishing sound design - how did you created your sounds / music?

Like said above, longer as it should be. Fun game!

@gilborn Thanks man, I grabbed the sound from an old project. Glad the link works now :D

Interesting one, I like the snappiness when you collide and destroy one of the boxes. Though as others have mentioned, 5 minutes is quite a long time and it could definitely use something more to spice it up (e.g ship upgrades, shields, boxes that explode after a delay etc...)

@zanagi Thanks 😁 it was supposed to be a local multiplayer where you try to push your friend out of the ring but I didn't have controller's to test it out so I skipped the idea 😋

- It was fun bumping the boxes and watching them collide - I think the game started of too slowly, there was not much to do in the beginning and then it started to ramp up. - I found it unnecessary to use the move controls, I boosting around, which did make it a bit tricky with the ring of death, especially when bouncing off of things.

bumping into the boxes it pretty fun, got killed when the shipped kinda spazzed out after colliding with multiple things

Ramming myself into boxes was surprisingly quite satisfying, however I do wish that the game ramped up in difficulty a bit faster as it was paced quite slowly. The losing screen forcing you to close the window was hilarious, I actually laughed out loud when that first happened. Good job!
