this game was pretty fun!

I grapple/hook mechanic was really cool. There was a brief moment where I thought a wheel came off of my space car 😅

It was easy to miss messages if you weren't paying attention, but otherwise I like how the game communicated objectives.

Developer

I really wanted to add a small objective overview to the UI but time was short for this jam. Haha they do look like wheels, perhaps I should have shaped them differently.

Thanks for trying it out.

Love the concept. Found the controls to be a little too imprecise for my own tastes but I imagine part of that is a design decision. 

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try!

This is a fun game and will need to find out how you made the "hook" mechanics because i will want to implement something similar in my game. 

Atmospheric and I LOVED drifting around :D I was the laziest trawler, i just kept doing doughnuts.

Haha I'm glad you had fun. Trawlers work hard so they earn themselves a right to a little fun spacing around!

The hooking isn't implemented that well too be honest it was just "good enough" with everything else I needed to do. In short there's no physics just a line renderer a vector maths, happy to go into more detail or I'll just post the repo directly if I can ever be bothered to upload it :D.
Edit: It was a little quicker than I thought so here a direct link if it helps: https://github.com/WinterProgramming/Trawler861/blob/main/Scripts/Ship/tow_line....

Thanks a lot, saved this for later.

One more thing: glow effects would look cool in this game.

Cheers!

Developer

Oh yeah absolutely. I meant to add them, even enabled a few of the post processing effects, but missed something. Then I ran out of time.

Very cool! I couldn't really read the text unfortunately so I was never entirely sure what was being asked of me. But I enjoyed zooming around and lassoing stuff.

Hi Otter,

Sorry about that, were you playing in full screen?

Unfortunately I originally chose a font that didn't work in web builds then had to quickly find another.
