Really cool idea, had a lot of great moments where I started walking towards an exit and went "Wait I should let future me go first" then got to thank older me for my hindsight :joy:
really fun game concept, and I would love to see this continued into a full game <3
Really nice game ^^ I ended up getting too much money at round 10 and the tracker vanished :joy:
Amazing game! I really loved it, it was very intuitive to what you had to do and I managed to beat both normal and hard, really enjoy the art style and the well implemented mechanics ♥
Look forward to seeing what you make it the future :D

-- oh god just saw that the website bugged and posted this 3 times
I don't know how to delete comments :joy: sorry :sweat_smile:
A very nice concept, I would like to be able to switch between characters though, or even at a stretch see through all of their eyes :joy:
very cool idea ♥
A really nice chill game, I like the choice of music something I listen to a lot while I code ♥
Really great game, for sure has it's bugs, but for a game jam this is an amazing game! I would love to see this as a full release! I only stopped because I encountered a soft lock bug ♥
@antti-haavikko I don't remember the exact set up, but I soft locked after reversing then dying, and I was stuck at the entrance to the room, no matter which direction I tried to turn I always died every update, the room was the room where you unlock the wormhole, also I managed to bug that out as well, after I picked it up I died right after (from natural causes), but this meant the next time I went to pick it up the wormhole never appeared again no matter how many times I grabbed the power up the spot where you can go through never showed up
Loved that someone else decided to go with a Mobius Loop for this theme! Had a lot of fun driving round both tracks, the music fit perfectly, and I loved the details with the sun!
Managed to place 3rd and 2nd place on both tracks ♥
Not gonna lie I got a little lost at some points, also when I first started playing I completely glossed over the right click to move function, so I thought I could only move with the abilities xD
I only figured out I was missing something after I beat section one and hand to change directions lol
@zest-is-best It was something scary bad xD I kept hitting the orbs lol
A really nice game with a great mechanics :D I do enjoy a good puzzle
Amazing! I loved this game so much, I did not expect such a good puzzle!
A real gem for anyone looking for a fun puzzle that's very well made ♥
Really nice idea, felt like I was playing snake and a farming sim at the same time ♥
managed to get to a score of 50 before I crashed into my self :joy:
A lot of fun, I died so much on the last level :joy:
Very nice to play, flying backwards felt a lil finicky at times, but I enjoyed the game and it was plenty difficult! ♥
Looks really nice, I especially liked how the main character looked :)
Nice little train game, the timer in the top right was a little bit hard to look at and I don't think it needed to be presented as a float, other than that the visuals are amazing, and I really enjoyed watching the train move around the tracks :)
A lot of fun, I loved the noises! managed to get to a score of 116 :D after I found the bugs took certain paths I managed to keep up with the demand, though I hit so many bees xD
I ran into one of the small npcs, and found in horror that he was faster than me 0.0
nice game :)
Really nice style of game, it did take me a hot second to figure out it was a puzzle game at first and not just having fun with boxes and portals :joy: the first ball puzzle was my favourite ♥
really nice game :D
Really cute game, I was not prepared for the speed I was going to need to work at :joy: a part of me thought it was going to be a slow ramp up, but it went from 0 to 100 real quick.
I really enjoyed playing this and hope you continue to work on it and release it ♥
Now that's some scary stuff! well made game, the music fit really well with it's simplicity, and that face is terrifying! :O
Such a fun puzzle game, I think you absolutely nailed the theme
also am I doing it right? :joy:

I didn't think I'd find a clicker game that carries such moodScreenshot_2071.png
Enjoyed the dialogue I felt really bad as I only had manipulative cards for all the times I wanted to be honest :cry:
Overall a nice experience and had a great mood to it :)
Really nice to play, the movement options across the characters where all really well done and felt unique and added a whole new way of looking at the same level, I only encountered 2 bugs 1 where I fell through the world as the cave man character, and another where the grappling hook man would try to grapple back to the location I last clicked when he died.
Overall loved it and think the gameplay is really well done ♥
Super hard, took me awhile to figure out how it worked, I thought I had bugged it out at first :joy:
I agree with Seth that the rope feels like I'm draggin the titanic with it, I do think it adds something to the game, but movement becomes just a bit more of a chore than I'm comfortable with, I really enjoyed the level progression and it felt great to hit that key just right so it flew into the door ♥
Great idea, It took me 6 loops before I figured out the books existed :joy:
Managed to get the machine working, for a long time I got confused as to why the bottle fits in the m3 pipe slot lol
A nice little game, it got a little laggy at later stages of the game due to the number of objects though, still I enjoyed it ♥
Well it certainly lives up to it's name! I was really hoping I could block bullets with the sword swing :joy: I think if I manage to dodge a bullet I could get past the third level lol
Amazing game! I love how you made a reset button as well, half way through when I stacked 2 bodies on top of each other I went "hmm so I could soft lock" then pressed r and was happily delighted, well thought out, very polished, loved playing it ♥
Thanks everyone for the kind reviews :D
I did the main work on Saturday and Sunday as I had uni on Monday, but before the jam finished I managed to fix a lot of bugs and change some minor mechanics, I removed the 5th window as it was way too hard to find! and added an options menu and controls button in the pause menu :)
@lucaskawano originally shift made you go a lot faster, there was a time in early development where I considered making this a racing game :joy: but the reason that I slowed down the shift speed is that if you jumped towards the edge with shift on and kept driving forwards you would actually reach escape velocity and be able to escape the mobius!
I messed around a lot with the pull towards the mobius but that just made it worse if the gravity was too high then you would get a sling shot effect and get more speed, but if it was too low you could escape naturally, I decided it would be best for the game and the mood if I slowed it down to the point it is at now ♥
also if I do develop it I would like to make the ship look a bit nicer, though I'm just a coding uni student with some light 3D modelling background from college no I would have no idea what I'm doing :joy:
@witekwitek you have completed the secret objective to escape the loop :joy: Yeah with the nature of how the car interacts with the loop I know that there's a very small chance you fall off the mobius, I was going to make some hit boxes outside that teleport you back to the starting platform, but I ran out of time and they messed with the raycast that searches for colliders for the gravity direction
@humnyn I was going to add some arrows or even have a help button that high lights your objectives, I kinda failed at making a world place UI that would float above tasks as I could never get it to look at the camera without getting skewed in some way
and I ran out of time with the outline idea, My last push of the game added the options menu which I had originally planned to contain the help button which would activate the highlight, but due to the way I had done everything prior it wasn't something I could of finished in the time remaining :cry:
Really everyone enjoys it though! This is my real first finished game so getting all this great feedback is really pushing me to continue developing! ♥
@charlie-hall I got the concept when I was thinking about loops, I remembered the Mobius strip was a type of loop and also know of the Spaceship Mobius from a book series I really enjoy.
The gravity actually only took about an hour to do, I looked around online and found that a form had been working with walking on walls by casting a ray cast from the player downwards, and then rotating you towards it.
I tinkered around with the code a bit and managed to get it working really quickly, only had to fix a few bugs as I worked more on the project such as jumping over hit boxes that where not tagged as ground, the raycast returned as not above ground and the code was trying to return my rotation back to the up rotation but using the world space instead of local, after I fixed those kind of bugs it was smooth sailing (apart from when you fall through the Mobius but that's rare :joy: )
the code I used as a base line for the gravity system can be found here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/155907/basic-movement-walking-on-walls.html
Really cool idea! I wish it was longer, I would love to play a ton of levels built on this concept! ♥
Felt really nice to play, took me awhile to understand the getting smaller mechanic, I honestly thought it was a bug at first that wasn't letting me jump as high :joy:
