1st level is a fun introduction, level 2 is insane

fun game overral, actually made me try more just so i could say i beat it!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yeah, I intended there to be more levels, maybe one in between and then one after the level 2, to have a bit more playtime. I'll see if I can add those after the jam.

I love the art style a lot. The music is very fitting. I definitely suck at this game, but I still had a good time, and I think that's part of the appeal for me. Cool use of tank controls. I really like the addition of the leaves flying through the level as well. Creative use of 2 colors.

Thank you for playing & the kind comments!

Fun original concept and art! Another way to lose the game (getting completely sucked into the whirlpool) and a setting to lower the rotation speed or something in that area to prevent motion sickness would be good to see.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Those are good suggestions, I'll probably have to do something to the rotation speed as it is quite dizzying.

A fun game! But we still need to work on the menu. The design is cool, the idea is great too, but it would be even better if you were completely sucked into the whirlpool and the game started all over again.

Thank you for the kind comments! You are 100% right on the menu and whirlpool notes, I kind of ran out of time so the menus are very rough. And there are definitely elements that could be taken further, like the whirlpools you mentioned.
