Tight mechanics, great presentation. One tiny thing you could improve: The unlit side of the space elevator is quite dark. Some global illumination or a second, darker light source would help.
edit: oh and great sense of speed!
agreed! initial plan was to have a bunch of differently lit environments (also a parallel bizarre universe) so I wanted to preserve that value contrast for maximum impact when you enter a brighter level… but then had to cut content to ship on time. :)
You made it feel razor sharp to play, it felt great to thread the needle. It was a nice simple concept that was really well polished and executed. The star parallax was a nice visual touch.
One thing I noticed was the circling hovercars were connected to the movement of the player...when moving to the right..they seem locked to the elevator. But definitely nice one.
Nice! I liked the swift build of the energy in the game, really enjoyed the music, and the graphics and rotational gameplay were smooooooth :)
nice visuals, addictive gameplay! Job well done. Please mind the deadline next time around!
Made my day!!!
Brilliant! Really great graphics, really smooth movement. It would be nice if the camera angle upwards when you move faster- once you get past 1000 points it starts to feel handicapped when obstacles appear so close to you. Easily one of the best games this jam.
Great point, I guess the FOV could also change. Thanks, Jack!
Very cool visuals and atmosphere! I like that you nerded out and shared how you solved for some of the things in your game and the spiral effect on the elevator is really satisfying to see. Congrats on your first game jam!
This game looks amazing! Great work. Super fun too!
Agreed! Great sense of style too.
I saw this on discord and was looking around for it last night! Glad to see you made it 6 minutes and 46 seconds before the deadline!
Really fun and good looking game!
Looks and plays amazing. Pretty impressive for a days work. Dust particles do a great job of showcasing the speed and the music bangs hard!
Really amazing visual and really nice post-processing use. Super polished!!!!
Nice, addicting game.Managed to get it to 1033. You have a good eye for the aesthetic, and the music worked with it well with it.
Very nice game! The polish is really sweet. Fantastic music choice! I really like the visual style: the glow really pushed the retro space theme.
Managed to get to 1171. Super impressive that this is your first game jam! Well done :)
If you put this on the app store, this would become the new hit within days!
Amazing game! Great and responsive controls! Music is awesome and fits perfectly. Love it!
My only gripe with this is that the glare above the player is a little too bright for my liking.
Other than that, pretty amazing game. It feels super polished.
Really nice game, amazing you did this in 48h
That is the most beautiful game a have seen in ages- wow
