Nice concept, art and music. liked playing it. you can make more complex levels and use pathfinding algorithm for one lace to compete with player controlling other lace.
The concept is nice, but there doesn't really seem to be any puzzle here. It's basically just "find the shortest path". Maybe the maximum length between the two shoelaces could be combined instead of separate. When one shoelace reaches max length, it has to pull the other shoelace back into the shoe to go further. There also needs to be some sort of other mechanic, maybe buttons that open doors, or pushable crates, or multiple things you need to cover with one shoelace to beat the level. As-is, there isn't really any substance here.
Yeah, I only realized that there wasn't any mechanics to make the level more interesting in the last few hours if the jam. Still I've learned a lot from this and had tons of fun.
I liked the idea of using string for the puzzles and having clear information on how many steps can I take (information horizon).
Maybe on a new iteration you can setup the dungeon like a messy floor with things dropped in the ground.
Yeah I've learned a lot about level design through the process of making this game and hopefully next I do a better job of it (:
Very cool idea, its actually a unique take on the theme good job
Thanks for the feedback (:
Really great concept, I love the idea of playing as shoelaces! I really liked the art, and it was super satisfying to beat this game. Great work!
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the feedback.
I really like the idea. I think it would be nice if both laces share the maximum length, i.e. a move on once lace shortens the possible moves on the other. Also Some more challenging puzzle elements would have been nice.
Definitely. If I were to continue making this game, making the laces share the length would help so much with the levels. Thanks for your feedback (:
Cool game, if you set space as changing lace it can improve the gameplay, good art too.
Yeah I wish I could have done more play testing during the jam. Hopefully next time (:
The game is good! The concept isn't very intuitive I wish you mixed it up with some more content.
I also wished for some music. But the execution is good,
Good job finishing it on time!
A pretty fun and chilled out puzzle game with a very unique style, I'd love to see more of it, great job!
I liked the art style and the feel of the game, but I don't see much potential if the entire puzzles are just finding the shortest path. I think you should add some more mechanics to make the puzzles more challenging. The levels you made took 2 tries at most to finish. Good work!
@DahamBelpage Very original idea, SFX and music are good too, level designs were good too, I recommend you to expand on this idea and make a more polished art, but overall excellent work :D
great concept :). relaxing gameplay paired with chill tunes and sounds. want more levels now.
I really liked the framing of this as shoelaces, it's a great interpretation of the theme. I also like the lace pixel art on the shoe. Level design could use some work and it would've been cool to see one side pulling back the other, but those just seem like time limit things. Good work!
The bad level design was mostly due to me not having designed levels for a game before and having the lace pull at each other was a feature I had in mind from the start but just didnt have enough time to do it.
cool idea, i think the puzzles are a bit too easy, definetly make more and harder levels
Yeah this is my first time making levels for a game and I've learnt a lot through it. Thanks for the feedback
Quite humorous and original entry. Not gonna lie, I didn't have such an option as a game idea in my mind when I was contemplating the prototype, lol. The idea is simple, but the game feels polished enough and good to go. I think with your current tools, you could try to diversify the level design by a bit (this alone can improve the game enjoyment), changning anything else can lead to a lot of redoings. In rest, solid entry.
Yeah this is the first game i've made where i've actually had to do any level design of sort. My other games were more score per time based.
Really fun concept, really enjoyed it. Simple puzzles but enjoyable! Short and sweet :)
Thanks alot for your feedback :D. I just wanted to have fun during this jam.
Fun concept! Maybe the moves should be shared between laces, connecting them together in another way?
Yeah I wanted to make it so that when one side moves the other side gets pulled along but i couldnt figure it out in time
Felt like a very simple tutorial to a potentially more complex game – wants more bits. The art/UI is great!
Yeah I felt that when I was making the levels but then I just didnt have time to do as much as could be done with this.
Absolutly loved this game so orginal and met the GMTK theme well, was really fun too, i gave you a good rating :D
Thank you very much (:
Hey, that one was pretty innovative! The game is fairly polished and seems finished. The only thing I would change - I'd add some twist. Now it is only about finding right way on both sides, but except being connected to one shoe... there isn't really anything coming from this connection :D
Yeah I really wanted to add a lot of other mechanics to the game but I knew I wouldnt have enough time to finish it all so I ended up just polishing the game as much as I could
