Unique gameplay that ends up being surprisingly addicting. I played it for so long that after stopping, it looked like my monitor was moving to the right for a minute, lol.
I like the idea of manipulating a vector field to control the motion of an object, but I think it's a bit too hard to predict how the flower will move. Additionally, the gaps you need to clear need fine grain moves that just weren't available. However, there is a solid idea here. Also, I think it's worth considering it as a mobile game, too.
I definitely had fun. Reminds me of those simulators they have for high school physics classes. Great concept for a game.
I really the the concept for this game, I've never seen anything like it! If you were to expand it, consider letting me drag the mouse to reverse the direction of the arrows.
Thanks for your feedback! Dragging the mouse was something we wanted to add for sure as it can be a bit tedious to manually swap the arrows one by one.
Nice and relaxing game, only issue is, and I don't know if it's just me, but I had some texture errors at the beginning
Thanks for the kind words and feedback, we've not seen this issue before, but might be some kind of race condition we're not experiencing locally. If it's consistent it would be interesting to see your network and console log
console log: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://cdn.sidaroth.no/openjam2020/flowerBG.jpg. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
I'm guessing you're hosting the assets remotely and itch.io doesn't allow for cross origin request?
Yes it's hosted remotely, but it should allow CORS as it seems to work for others just fine though. I'm not sure why you're not getting access to it. Do you use any browser extensions that mess with the http headers?
Didn't move anything and tried again and now it's all good, don't know why though, weird.
"We're not particularly happy with the end result, you can barely call it a game at this point."
Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a novel and interesting game idea and quite playable. I have seen much worse submissions to weekend game jams.
What a great game! The abrupt insta-death is tough, but I love the game play and the music and the concept. Well done!
Thanks!
Yeah, thought about getting a score pop-up at the end instead of sending you back to the menu, but time ran away from us :)
