Just a wonderful idea and the gameplay itself. You did a great job!

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the game! We do plan on continuing developing this game.
Thanks! Glad you really enjoyed it! Thanks for the input on the speed aspect. We wanted to add additional upgrade options, though just ran out of time. I agreed that having a better UI indicator would have been helpful. The idea was to show how many items you could hold and then indicate how many you had as they either got knocked of from being hit or used.
Checked out your video on it! Loved seeing you play it! Couple of tips for ya: The rocks you collect also work as a shield from getting hit, so it's a balance of when to throw them and when to hang on to them. The second one is the blue sparkle object that pops out of the portal is an upgrade to how many items you can collect. You'll get those at certain levels to help with how crazy it gets. You'll also need those for level 10 which is the boss fight :) Thanks again for checking it out!

Yeah it can be a bit difficult in that regard. We were hoping to have some time to explain the mechanics a bit as a lot of people don't realize that as you collect items "rocks" they act as your ammo and shield to take damage. We had also planned to add a better UI to indicate that, though ran out of time to add that. The plan is to finish out this as a full game. That should be a lot of fun to add all the things that we had planned in the if we have time list :)

Glad you liked it! The world is procedural generated. We created a voxel system so that each time you play you get some variation in the worlds that you visit. Will defiantly check your game out!

Thanks for checking it out! We had additional plans to add more mechanics and better UI feedback. We just didn't have enough time to implement all the things. The challenge was balancing the jam work with working a full time job :)

Thanks! Glad you had fun playing it! We had a lot of different things in mind, that we just weren't able to get to, though very possible to move forward with this project to finish it out.
Engaging! I was reminded of Half-Life 2's infamous gravity gun. The varied enemy types helped broaden the gameplay and aesthetic. One idea if you're open to it is that certain enemies could drop high value glowy "rocks" that would explode on impact, doing area damage.
Nice little game. Did you try building for WebGL? It's the best way to get more players to take a look at your project.

Thanks! I'm glad that you're enjoying the game! We are very open to feedback!
The idea you came up with is very similar to what we had planned, though just ran out of time to implement it. We were going to do something very similar to that concept only it was going to be a strength, weakness thing with the elementals. Fire rocks, ice rocks, and charged rocks. Fire would be weaker to earth, earth weaker to ice, and ice to fire. That whole triangular system. I like the idea of having some types be AOE as well, that would be a cool system to add as well.
We did build for WebGL, though the downside to that is our Voxel system that we created to dynamically generate the levels took really long to load each level, and it really hurts the smoothness of level transition, since WebGL doesn't take advantage of multi-threading nor burst. We did try to get a good WebGL build and it does run that way, just really takes you out of the immersion of the game when you have to wait a full minute for the next level to generate and load.

Thanks! We really had a lot of fun making it. We do have some ideas for potential future development on it. I'm glad you are having fun with it. We wanted to make a unique mechanic that was fun, yet not overly complex.
