Nice world. I included it in my Games Plus Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)
The gameplay is kind of confusing, good to see someone playing to notice that. you can actually get the hourglass and drop it elsewhere, spawning a new one.
Thanks for playing!
Looks good. How did you get that glow around the objects? I've been trying to find out how to do that. Do you use a custom shader?
I like the idea of the game, but unfortunately I don't get that stressed feeling I'd expect to get from this game. Maybe it's the lack of music. You should have a sound of sand falling down on each hourglass, and some alert sound when an hourglass is about to be emptied. I think that would make a big difference. Either way, cool idea, a little more polish and it would have been awesome!
Good luck next game jam! :)
I actually tried something with the sand sound. I think it would sound awesome if each hourglass had some kind of unique noisy sand falling effect. All of them adding up to a noisy sand orchestra was what I was aiming for, but since I am no sound designer, and tried this at the last day, I failed =(
As for the glow effect, most of the logic behind it is in this video:
With some minor differences to make it work with the code I had. If you'd like to I can add my code to GitHub so you can have a look!
Thanks for the feedback =)
Overall a very clean game that has a great theme. I'd be interested to see where you could run with this project!
The lighting, atmosphere, and style of the game feel incredibly polished. I enjoyed the minimalistic gameplay and I think it was a lot of fun to mess around with. The only issue I noticed was that walking into a wall with an hourglass and dropping it made it fall through the map.
