Wow, It's so original and has lots of potential. I wish there were more levels. Well done :)
And if you had time, I'd be thankful if you play my submission <3
Very funny character. The concept it quite interesting, a sort of reverse bullet hell type game. Great stuff!
Thank you so much! (o^▽^o)
Wow the color scheme in this is phenomenal! and the idea of compulsory firing and controlling your "out of control", is a fantastic idea! So strange how it only has 5 ratings, seeing the many comments!
Thank you so much! (o^▽^o)
I actually chose the BW color scheme to save some time when making the assets, hahaha!
I had some trouble with the Windows build, so most people unfortunately couldn't play at the beginning!
tl;dr - for Windows users: https://the-orb.netlify.app
Hey everyone, thanks so much for trying my game! Thanks for letting me know about the broken Windows build! ☆(･ω･*)ゞ
This weekend was kinda a last-minute decision and I didn't have a Windows machine available to test it (not that that's an excuse to upload without testing)... (￣ω￣;)
As a workaround, I uploaded a web version here: https://the-orb.netlify.app
It's the same code without modifications, though a slightly worse experience (a bit slower and the viewport size is weird)!
I'll try to get a working build for Windows and upload it somewhere, in the meanwhile please try the web version!
I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience! (｡╯︵╰｡)
ayyy, you use netlify too :D
tbh I was just looking for the quickest free way of publishing the static files since a lot of people were having trouble with the windows build xD
but also I've been wanting to try netlify for a long time, we were considering using it for deploying the static files at my team, it was a win-win!
So Fun and original !!!!! more people should rate your game!
ps: i played it on mac
Thank you so much! (＾▽＾)
I really enjoyed, wish you luck! it fits the concept very well
it wont open
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, in case you're still interested in trying I uploaded an alternative web version here! https://the-orb.netlify.app
sweet, the game was really nice in my opinion, keep it up
Thank you very much! :D
Hey, maybe you can rebuild the game and post the link here as a comment, so we can play it! :)
Hey Damián, thank you for the suggestion! Since I don't have a Windows machine available to test I uploaded a web version: https://the-orb.netlify.ap
it wont open :(

Sadly it doesn't run on my machine.

I have played it yay! It is a really good concept. Fits the theme perfectly Way to go. Its hard but works well. I thought the goal was to shoot the others at first. LOL Takes a bit to get used to but the controls are well implemented and the idea is fun to explore. Keep up the good work! (sorry the OG was DOR).
Please checkout our little game if you get a moment.
Thank you for the feedback! :D
Will surely check your game as soon as I have time!
Can't play, wish I could :(

Same as the others, the game won't run on my Windows machine. I'm sorry I couldn't play it and rate it :(

Thank you for the alternate version! The artwork and the visuals are so smooth and enjoyable to look at, and I think the gameplay is fun and challenging (I couldn't get past the level where you went to the right to get different bullets before going back and up) and it was really funny seeing the little guys in fear of the orb haha. I'm sorry that the main download wouldn't work, but congratulations on completing a game jam!
Thank you so much!
I'm not an artist at all, so I'm extremely happy that my intent was recognizable! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
MacOs version works fine. (Maybe consider build a web version next time)
Great game, interesting idea.
Even though there's no tutorial but player can still pick up pretty easily.
Thank you so much, Michael! （‐＾▽＾‐）
I added the how-to-play in the description of the game but since this was my first jam using itch.io so I was not aware that it would not show up here! It's great to hear that it was intuitive enough!
Couldn't get the game to run
