I normally like to write detailed comments, but for you I have only two words: more levels!!

This is so addicting. I could find myself playing this for hours. I hope to see you continue work on this after the jam, but great job on it in its current state. Thanks for sharing. I called you out on the discord so hopefully you get a few more rates in the next hour or so.

Here’s my game if you’d like to check it out. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/572795

Very cool idea! There is some work to be done on the UI and the timer / scoreboard, but one of the most unique ideas on here! Awesome!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Very unique game, i liked it! The sounds that you used reminds of a game called Signal Simulator. Good Job! And the game is pretty hard. 

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

I made a similar game last year :) Like it! I will say the game is quite difficult. One feedback is when I move a hole with my mouse, it won't affect the path of the ship, I will prefer actually that it continuously interacts with the physics. Overall you did well!

Developer

I'm glad you like it!  Thanks for the suggestion - it's definitely something I'm considering.

Great gameplay! Very innovative. The graphics are ok. The sound effects were rather unpleasant to my ears, but the music was decent. You might want to see how the anchors in Unity's UI work, I was unable to enter levels 4 and 5 because transparent image was blocking the buttons. The first three levels were good though.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm very embarrassed about the menu ("It looked fine on my machine!!" lol).  I'll be adding a volume slider in for SFX in the future as welll.

Very enjoyable game! The art style and the music go very well together and I love that you have to manipulate the ship with black and white holes instead of controlling the ship yourself, very clever idea. Overall, a very well done game!

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

The art style and idea are really good. I like that it let you to solve the levels however you wanted. Like using both holes or just one, or all of theme.  I found a bug when you place a hole over an asteroid, it got stuck and couldn't used it. Also i couldn't play the level 4. Nice game.

Developer

Thanks for checking my game out!  Do you happen to remember what level the problem asteroid was on?  I'll try to fix that bug.

Great job on your game. If this was your first game jam hope you enjoyed the journey of development. I really like your art style and music. Cool mechanic enjoyed pushing and pulling the player. Though your UI is kinda messed up in the start screen. Good job.

Developer

Thanks for the comments!  For sure I'll be fixing that menu.

Developer

Developer

Really interesting, inovative and cool game.  It was a big challenge to play and quite difficult(nothing wrong with that).

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

for me very hard to understand controls :D

Maybe a small tutorial movie next time :D

Developer

Thanks for checking my game out.  There is a tutorial accessible from the main menu screen, but I think I made it too hard to find.

Very clever concept regarding the theme. I saw a lot of "black hole" games, but yours was implemented beautifully.

The game is very fun. I really like how you have implemented the holes into the game. the the audio is unbearable. Yous  should change the sound effect that the holes make. Other than that really nice game! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Liking the repulsor/attractor gameplay. the beeping sound though could be a bit silent as on playing with headphones it kinda screeched into my ears.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for checking it out, and the feedback about the audio as well.  I'll have to put in a volume setting for sound FX.

Submitted(+1)

This is somethign very unique. Never seen such a game idea before. I like it. Artwork and audio are minimalistic and simple but still a lot fo fun. Keep up the good work.

Developer
