Cool concept! Unfortunately the performance rendered this game basically unplayable for me: frame rate was super low so it felt very choppy, and this combined with slow response time in the controls made it very hard to control the ball's path. If I fell off a path, the path was gone and then I had to restart, which was very frustrating.
Maybe my computer is just too potato for this game, but anyway that was my experience on Mac and in browser :(
Thank you for the comments! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have an idea for an indicator of where to go when you pick up an object. Thank you for the feedback
Had a bit of trouble finding triangle symbol.
Loved how symbol you picked up is spinning inside the ball, everything looks 2d including the ball, but as soon as I picked an item it made the ball visually very special. Dunno why I focused on this so much, but I kept thinking about this interesting visual contrast during the whole play through :P
Agreed with other comments that game is calm and relaxing. I sincerely enjoyed it :)
The mechanic is great, this has some potential for a bigger game. Linux build worked but there are many errors on the terminal, so probably you need some bug fixing and refactoring rounds. However, they seemed to not affect the game at all. Great choice of music, playing this feels like doing a meditation, prefect to calm down during a break.
Loved the way that each symbol had a different set of physics applied to it!
My only two comments would be that the sphere would get a little bit lost while following the road, so a tiny outline would have done wonders; as well as having some sort of pointer to where you're meant to go after getting each symbol.
Other than that, it's probably one of my favorite submissions so far!
(edit: it's a shame the browser version doesn't work, hope you get it working soon!)
I liked the mechanic where you can access different paths based on the icon! It was a bit tedious to find them though because they could be anywhere, and it was quite difficult to orient yourself. Once you are out there you have no idea if you should go up/down/left/right and there is no indicator (either in the background, or a dynamic arrow). Otherwise the music was very fitting, and this was a great effort for such a sort time!
Thanks for the comment! If you get lost you can press R to respawn in the center of the map. But yeah, I didn't realize how tedious it would be to find them when I put it together, sorry about that. Thank you for the feedback!
You're welcome! I thought of pressing R but the word "reset" made me afraid I would lose my progress :)
Something as simple as a minimap or an arrow pointing towards the center would help! Minimap would also be helpful to locate the icons easier!
