Pretty cool game! I loved the mechanic! I think it could've used a little more polish, but for your first game it's awesome!

Developer

Thanks!

Hahaha! Well, that became difficult with time. But I loved your concept. It's like panicking when you are on Death's door! Extremely fun and polished for someone's first game. Thanks for this game! (Btw you can use bloom to make simple shapes look amazingly cool!)

Please take some time to play and rate my game as well. I would really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

Developer

Thanks for the tips! I’ll make sure to rate your game.

Really Cool concept, and quite fun to play, but very, very, very buggy

Developer

Haha, ya couldn't quite get the bugs ironed out.

Very fun game, great idea!

I enjoyed the premise of it. Less health for more speed is something I did in my game too. I like how you had to gain enough speed to break through some walls in the game, I felt that was really clever and a nice twist on it. I also liked the animation on the cube, how it would close it's eyes if it was flying by very close to spikes, that was a nice touch.

If you wanted to improve, the indicator to fire was kind of glitchy, sometimes it would bounce off of walls, other times it would just phase through them, it also didn't show up when on breakable walls for some reason. Some sort of tutorial would be nice, even text on the background of that first level would help.

Check out my game if you get the chance!

The idea is good and good mechanics! Good job!

I like this idea! Small things, I wish the pentagons didn't hurt you and wish I could correct steering in mid air. The theme and concept itself is awesome for this jam, would love a version of this with SFX and music

Developer

Thanks for yeh feedback. I wish I would’ve added sfx by and background music as well. Thanks for taking the time to play it.

Really fun! would make an awesome mobile game!

Developer

Thanks, ya I could see it being a nice phone time waster.

Submitted

Really dynamic, with a very simple mechanic taken to its logical extreme. Would make an excellent mobile game, I think. Brilliant work. 

Developer

Glad you liked it. I had a blast playing your game aswell! Can't wait for your devlog.

Nice puzzle game.I enjoyed my time :D.My feedback would be that sometimes the arrow teleports to other side of your player. Also maybe adding a jumping sound effect can make the game a bit more immersive. Other than these i loved it great work :D

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Submitted

I would be really happy if you play my game :D

Submitted

Awesome. Really digged into this. Only thing to criticize is the sometimes buggy target cursor.

Keep going mate! :P
