This is really cool and intuitive from the get go. I think the only suggested change I can think of is being able to zoom out and see the full map when planning a route.
I guess my biggest bits of feedback would be: Maybe adding a dive button with shift that allows you to speed up, once you know where you're going (Though I don't know how that would effect the other Bots). And maybe I would consider just removing the mouse Tilt? Maybe you could have a button that lets you look behind you instead.
This is a neat idea! There's a lot of symmetry in these puzzles and I think I'd consider trying to reduce the size of the puzzles to their smallest idea. Like on Level 4, I might get rid of 2 of the 2x2 corners (But keep the central loop).
Hmm, I know this isn't in the spirit of the game, but for level 1, why can't I just use Y = 1? Or for Level 2, why can't I use Y = 0.64*X. Is there a way you could allow some wiggle room for the equations or spot locations? Or am I missreading the game and you're only supposed to slightly change the equation?
It's a pretty game, but I can't get the controls to work correctly. I can get the fish to move up when I hold the spacebar, but sometimes this doesn't work.
Because the input of clicking and tapping is discrete, I wonder if it might work better to make the dial move in discrete ticks instead of being continuous.
I think this is a really neat mechanic, but I did struggle to keep track of what the player could interact with, without more key visuals. There is a pattern I know called a Bayer pattern that might work really well here to colour in the background with.
I like the idea of using momentum to move the chalk spaceship into the endgoal.
I think the physics should be tweaked a little as the ship is very slow, so it takes a long time before you know if a path is successful. You could also try adding a larger radial hitbox around the chalk to make it easier to pickup cheese.
There's appears to be a bug when migrating save files to the 1.32 version (Causing the undo function to be unresponsive). I will have a look into this.
Unforunately I can't recover your save. Due to the poor way I was previously saving data, the deserializer just times out because there's to much to work through.
I've fixed how saving works now so it should work from the beginning, but if anyone is also experiencing this issue (And because the game's still a bit buggy), I've uploaded V1.31. This version has a dev command to toggle gravity, so you can skip puzzles you've already done. If anyone sends me a DM on Twitter, I can pass you the command.
Hey, I did a little bit of optimization and I think I've fixed the movement bug, so you should still be able to move even if there is stuttering. It should take a while to load in the first instance, but if you pressed undo once and save the game by quitting, it should load much faster from then on. Hopefully the new download improves performance.
Hi everyone. The movement problem has been fixed and I've made a few optimizations! Your character should no longer get stuck at the beginning of the game and the frame stuttering should be reduced. The new download is zipped above, V1.30.
