My mom had an idea for a knot tying game. I'm sure this is not quite what she had in mind, but I bet she'd get a kick out of it!

Also, are the rings mentioned in the tutorial present in gameplay? 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We didn’t manage to get the rings into the game sadly. We only properly worked on the game for 2 days and were quite short on time towards the end especially since the rope physics had to be retuned as we implemented more systems that interacted with the rope.

I was NOT expecting to be the rope lmao, very unique and creative gameplay, I have to say that I got a bit dizzy from the controls but it was fun trying it a few times. Very good visuals and I might have pressed the "GO" button on the scout master a bit to much... whoops

Developer

I agree, there’s some work to do on controls, I’m not 100% happy with them yet. I’m glad you found the concept as funny as we did. Thanks for the comment!

Hello fellow knotters... insane concept and execution; the characters and narrative setup are golden. Found it very satisfying (but difficult) to conceptualise the knot from first person. But ran into a few bugs that stopped me progressing far. Great atmosphere and concept!

Developer

Yeah it’s kind of sad, the physics started acting up on Sunday which means we weren’t able to finish implementing knot evaluation or set up the tutorial levels. Thank you for playing and the kind words <3 I will have another try at polishing up the game loop after the rating period is over.

I really liked the artwork and the idea, but its sad that Im unable to actually play it :( 

Developer

You weren’t able to play at all? Theres a bug at the end that doesn’t transition you back to the menu but trying the gameplay once should be possible :/

Yeah, unfortunately the gameplay seemed a bit impossible for me to figure it out and sometimes i would get completly stuck in the same place, unable to move myself/the camera, so I didnt know what to do.

Widly Creative, good time, very fun and very funny.
I do hope this gets more work post jam. What you've already achieved is impressive.

Developer

Thank you! We plan to tie up the game loop and add a proper tutorial as well as small finishing touches once the lock period is over.
