The game was quite fun. It takes a while to understand what the game really wants from you. One suggestion I would have is to have the thing rotated by 180 degrees, so the side that will get modified by a sphere will be in the front, it seems a little bit more intuitive, for me at least.
Good way to implement the limitation! The mechanic it's interesting, fun to play. It took me a few seconds to realize that you need to rotate to take more than one ball, because they go always at your back (but that's on me, the instructions were pretty clear ^^). As others have suggested, a version with enemies or some other obstacle would be a neat addition. To propose something, maybe the timer maximum could be decreased as you carry more balls.
All in all, good job!
PD: I recommend you to upload de html5 version, this way your game will playable from the browser. With godot it is as simple as select the html export, call the primary file "index.html" (as itch.io requires), and upload a .zip with all the files that are generated. Then it suffices to check a box in the Edit Game page of Godot ("this file will be playable from the browser" or something like that).
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll hopefully have some time on my hands this weekend to expand the game a bit to include enemies and such. I'll export for web as well!
Seems like a great prototype. I kinda want to see a full release version with some enemies, and particles, maybe some obstacles, each color you have could be used as a different type of auto-firing weapon, you could make this into an actual game!
Oooo, I like the idea of making an autofire weapon. Thanks for the suggestions!
It took a couple minutes to get used to how the mechanic works, but after that you could beat the game pretty fast (no flex :D).
the fact that the circles go to the opposite sides was a bit confusing at first but other than that good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm considering changing it up a bit in terms of "winning". Something more akin to earning points to be displayed on a leaderboard. I was also on the fence about having the circle add to the front or back. Still up in the air on that one. I'll be checking yours out soon.
Quick and cute, a good use of 7 cookies. The visuals don't always match the side i.e. even if you turn the square, it can look like you're heading into a color with a color already on that side, but other than that it works perfectly for what it is :)
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! I'm definitely considering polishing up some aspects, including the visuals you mention. I'll be checking yours out in a bit.
