In what way does your game fit the theme?
In Newtraction you need to bring all of your orbs together using the 'stronger-together' force of gravity.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, everything is by me.
Help
Newtraction is a puzzler in which the objective is to bring all of your orbs together in a certain amount of time. Select an orb to modify it's gravitational field using your given power, or harvest back power from other orbs, and then play out your scenario. Orbs with more powerful field attract others more, bigger orbs remain fixed and their field cannot be modified.
Controls
W/A/S/D/Q/E - Movement
Click - Select orb
O/P/Scroll - Change selected orb's field
R - Run your scenario
F - Sandbox spawn / move

The graphics are stunning
The way the sky converges looks a bit weird: https://gyazo.com/bb342ef5896bbb8e68638f8ccf1334aa
You can see the individual pixels of the buttons which looks a bit off: https://gyazo.com/e0c2b0f3179fe86be70369299192e863
I really think this needs a tutorial. I was very confused. I pretty much just clicked the orbs and scrolled randomly until the counter said ‘0’ which worked for the first few levels
Great atmospheric music
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! There's a tutorial in game, and a more detailed one on itch. The buttons looked fine on my screen, maybe something to do with your resolution, idk. Thanks again!
I mean like a more hands-on one. I read those but I still couldn’t really wrap my head around it
Ah ok, thanks!
Beautiful game, really unique and outstanding. Because the game is very unique, a in game tutorial would be very helpful.
And you really need a next level button in level mode.
Yes, thank you very much for the feedback! Good luck to you in the future.
Beautiful game, was definitely confused at first but overall very nice.
Thank you so much! There's a more in-depth help page on itch for anyone who has problems.
Incredible graphics and music. At the beginning I was a bit confused about what to do but otherwise a very interesting game.
Thanks dude, great to hear that! I'm rating yours now.
Really nice game, i loved the graphics and the audio
Thanks! I'm rating yours now, FYI.
Fun game! I like the art style you went with here, you forgot the close button but I'll forgive you for that haha ;)
Thanks lol! I also really like your game about reddit.
Love the look and soundrack of the game and the gameplay mechanic fits the theme really well! But I think there is missing a way to close the program
Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes, the close button flew over my head ;)
good looking and intresting, but a bit confusing! well done!
Thanks! Check out the tutorial on itch if you feel confused.
If you have any questions you can always ask.
If you need help check out the help section here: Newtraction, or press ? in the game menu.
Excellent game, but hard to grasp in the beginning. The camera blur in the beginning makes for a nice level change. Interesting mechanics overall.
Thank you very much! I have made a better help page on itch now. Good luck on your future endeavors.
well done but it was hard to figure out what is going on.
Thanks, if you do have any questions just ask, we are all apes afterall!
It was cool looking but very difficult to figure out.

Thanks, I thought it would be a bit complicated :(. If you have any questions you can ofc ask.
This was an exceptional game. The graphics were on point, and once you figured out the gameplay, it was super fun and engaging. I think that at tutorial would have been nice, but other than that, it was a great game. Good Job.
Thank you so so much! Your game was also very nice (and slimy)!
Awsome!

the gameplay blew me off! rly awesome and taleted! Keep u pthe great work!
Thank you so much! Your pandas are also so cute!
haha! ty so much!
Nice game!
The core mechanics takes a while to understand.
Instead of going back to the menu, a next level button would be nice.
Thank you for the feedback, I figured it would be too complicated.
I love your game BTW :)
thanks!
The graphics are so so good! And you managed to make so many different features in a few days, it's impressive!
Please check out my game too! :D
Thank you so much! Art isn't usually my strong point, but looks like it worked out. I'm rating your game right now, it looks awesome!
Great game!
