  • Solid, if difficult, game that took me a minute to get the hang of but was really fun to try and roll through! The theme wasn't exactly apparent to me and I had to go through the GDD to get an idea of how it was incorporated into the game.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
The mechanics involve the primary mechanic of gravity shifting, and the secondary mechanic of running away from the all-consuming, expanding void on a cosmic highway.

There is no direct story to this game. It's very abstract and mostly a rendition of one of the bizarre ideas I had that I could try and fit within the theme in a unique way.

Controls are simple mouse for camera and WASD for movement. ESC for pause/un-pause. You can also press R for a quick restart in-game.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
This is the second game I have ever made. This was a solo submission, so the credits in the game are only accreditation for royalty free sound assets. Everything else was me. I hope you enjoy!

This is very fun despite kicking my arse lol. I couldn't get out of the first level and the closest I got was pure chance after a hectic moment of chaotic pinballing around. I love it, definitely develop this further.

Aaah such a kind comment thank you! You're the second person to say about how difficult it is, very interesting perspectives! Funnily enough, that is the only level. I've love to add more, but didn't have the time. I'll likely develop it further!

I enjoyed playing that, I couldnt beat the first level but im gonna give it another shot later today. You're my direct unity ball competition in this jam, may i ask, How does this game apply the spread theme?

Developer

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! The spread theme is applied via the expanding void that you must escape from.
