Fun game all around! Really enjoyed it and hope you continue development.
At one point, I created a ship that was all speed with basically nothing else just to see if I would move faster, but still didn't feel like my speed or maneuverability was any different. That said, the game is still really fun and actually sent it to a friend of mine to check it out.
Fun game that definitely deserves a full release. Great job! I liked the creative interpretations of the theme scattered throughout the microgames.
I thought the choice to allow objects in the game to block the cursor was clever, but it became a little frustrating on some of the games when it didn't seem to fit. For example, you can collide with the hatchlings on the protect and balance games, which felt out of place since those specific collisions didn't really add to the gameplay. That said, this is a small polish thing and I'm sure there were bigger fish to fry during development. In a future update (if you plan to update the game), it would be nice if there was a little more time to react to some of the games (the boulder and beach ball ones come to mind, specifically).
All in all, well crafted and creative. Keep making games!
I like the idea, but it doesn't feel like the player has much agency. Bouncing off the box to change direction is inconsistent and I often ended up breaking out, which was frustrating.
It would help to give the player some control over their movement beyond rotating and scaling the box. A few abilities like a speed boost or a predictable way to change direction would help a lot. If you do that and fix the inconsistencies in the box collisions, this could be an interesting game. Feels kind of like Undertale combat, and could be pretty fun with some changes.
That said, congrats on completing the jam. Keep it up!
Goes to show the power of a tutorial/instruction manual. I didn't notice the tutorial at first and honestly though that the game was broken. When I reloaded, I saw the tutorial option, which clarified everything I needed to know (who would have thought?).
Overall, this game was really fun! A creative take on the theme and plays really nice once you get the hang of it. Seriously, awesome job!
