As a dot, you join with other dots to become a shape.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I wrote the code and made the visual assets. The audio files are not mine, but I do have the rights to them.

Pretty interesting concept! I like how you can see which shape youre supposed to be just by looking at the environment lol

Some things I'd like to see changed is the way the camera works, it's a bit jumpy... I think the camera should be further down as well, because being able to look up is kinda pointless because you don't have a way to go up, also when youre a flat line you can fall off the stage really easily lol

But I like the concept, it just needs some polish

Scale Laboratory

Fun game overall! I enjoyed the balance between trying to get parts then dodge more parts. I felt like the game has a really solid core loop going for it.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest showing what shape the player needs to collect at the beginning of the stage instead of the player just discovering it at the end and having to restart.

Overall, fun game!

Armor of God [Project 2021-2]

Thank you for playing. I am glad you thought it was fun. The hint for what shape is needed is actually the blocks for the level. If the blocks are squares then it will be a square goal, if the blocks are triangles then you need to be a triangle at the end.

I 100% missed that but that is super clever!

The game could have use a bit more polish, but I liked the idea and I had fun playing the game.

Thanks for playing, yea, I will probably clean it up and do more with it after the rating phase of the jam.

Fun game but maybe put the goal on the UI to make it such that the player doesn't have to go down every time to see the goal and then reset

Ruins of Amograth

Thanks, I tried to come up with something both intriguing and easy enough to make for the jam.

SimplyDevSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Interesting idea! Could end up as a really good game!

Will you Mayor!

TheSyXanDeveloper3 years ago

Thank you, glad you like it. I think it could be a great game too, needs a lot of polish and bug fixing though. I am happy with it as my first game jam game though.

SimplyDevSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

yeah it's normal that a game jam game has bugs !
