Very polished game in so small time frame.
Thank you! I know how important user experience is, being an avid gamer myself... although I didn't have time for a lot of the things I wanted to improve on....
Thanks, I appreciate it :D
okay but
(what do i say ._.)
give your honest opinion?
Really fun game. There does seem to be a bug where if you had one string type selected and you moved to a level where it was not allowed, you could still use it.
This has already been reported. I thought I fixed that one glitch, bbut seems not...
thanks though :)
Very neat design, very polished! Getting the ball to a position higher up than the spawn position is a little frustrating tho.
I've found that soing that is slightly difficult, because there is no pointers that says that that each string should be slightly lower than the last. Thought that was common knowledge until my friend my friend tried it out. I wanted to do a better system but I really didn't have the time.
Thanks tho :)
Maaan, this game really got me to think, I really liked your game, the polishing you did is so good!
Thanks :)
The game is cool, I guess the only thing annoyed me is the part when I need to delete some string, I need to jam my rmb just to delete one string, otherwise really nice game!
everyone is saying that, although the delete mechanic is much more complicated than you think...
thanks tho :)
no problem, it is still impressive for 3 days, I have no idea how you bend the line and make it as physical object, good job!
I found the mechanics very interesting, I like games that let you solve the problem in different ways. I for example,ended up using more the dots than the lines haha. And I had random solutions like the one below that entertained me.
some personal suggestions:
* add more music, it gets a bit repetitive over time.
* allow drawing the line convex or concave
* add a button to reset the phase, it gets a bit tedious to have to remove a wrong solution every 1 in 1.
* increase the click area to erase the lines, to make it easier to click.
* check if the processing influences the physics, because I was going to record the gameplay, and with OBS on, get different results.
Thanks for the game, and congratulations.
Physics would not be different upon each attempt. Unity physics is done on a fixed timestep, if it is different, that would be a physics bugs for unity. (I didn't have the time to switch to havok either so I didn't bother). I was actally planning on doing everything u suggest, but I spent to much time figuring out line renderers, if I ever do this again, I'll likely be able to do much more. Thanks for the feedback :)
Absolutely ordinary casual game, not bad and not good, just typical, there are many of them on the play market.
an honest reply for once. Yea, I get you, adter development I realised how generic this game was it lacked quite a few features I was hoping to add, but oh well... Thanks for playing :)
Very entertaining puzzler, played for more than 15 minutes.
Well done!
I bet thats higher than any other game :)
besides the mini pirate game thing, that's just addictive :P
Agree!
Might be my longest as well so far :D
It's a fun game. There are minor annoyances like trying to remove strings but not being able because you are 1 pixel off and not having an undo button.
I liked it tho, it's a great game for only having 72 hours to make it.
thx
Very fun puzzle game, some puzzles seem way more difficult than others but that's probably just me. Good Job!
thanks!
I have nothing to add, this game is just perfect! Well done!
tyms :)
Very fun and neat game. A button to remove all placed lines would have been nice.
Also I managed to place yellow lines in the level that only allows greens:
The game is very polished and well made nonetheless. Good job.
thanks, and thanks for the heads up :)
although I won't fix it, it isn't a game jam game I'm interested in improving upon.
Very nice graphics
thanks! :)
Very interesting game. Everything is nice, even the transition between levels is done well
thanks!
Nice concept. You should add a way to undo actions though :).
I'll keep it in mind for the next one :)
Very cool concept. I can beat 3/4 of the stage by only red string, it a bit OP
my friend said the same thing as well :p
Thats why I added levels that blocked the red string :D
Thanks tho!
cool but Im bad
oof, so was my friend. Hope u enjoyed :D
Fantastic game, concept similar to mine, excellent graphics and music!
Thanks! I'll have a go at ur game :)
