I was a bit put off when I read that the game was all pre-existing assets but I am super glad I got over whatever that prejudice was - this is super fun!! Although very tough!! I tried for a long time because I liked it so much but I couldn't overcome the 2nd tier. The combo of the short timer, the ring speed, and the collision detection was too much for me, I do think it would be beneficial to adjust the values a bit, and then I think you have a product you can for real slap a price tag on. A suggestion I have would be once you run through a loop, instead of having to outrun the timer and catch the next ring, it could be you have to outrun the loop that you just ran through - then you have a sort of loop & break the loop cycle. Congrats on a lovely jam!!
Thanks a lot for playing my game, and for the kind words! This is my first jam, and I didn't trust myself to handle both assets and programming as a solo dev and still finish in time, so I opted to use free assets just to be able to submit something. I'm glad I was able to make something enjoyable out of them! And thanks for the lovely suggestion, I will try it out if I ever get back to developing this (still quite burnt out xd).
Good use of artwork. A bit too challenging.
Thanks for playing! And yeah, I was trying to make it not so easy but it appears that I ended up making it too challenging :D
Phew, made it to the top but it was really challenging. I think the timer could be just a little more forgiving as I slammed into obstacles very often, especially with how many there are. The transition between the floors of the island was really cool. Also at first I didn't understand that you have to chase the loops in one direction, and turning around going towards the one moving to you doesn't work. Making it work in both directions is nice, but maybe that could be communicated better. Awesome game!
Thanks a lot for playing my game and it is reassuring that at least one person made it to the top :D
I adjusted the timers to make it just challenging enough for myself but I guess I already had ample practice with the game while developing the game, so maybe it is a tad more challenging than ideal. A friend who was playtesting the game for me also said he didn't understand he had to activate the hoops in one direction, but I was too burnt out to add visual indicators for this unfortunately :D
Thanks again for the feedback!
Nice submission, I like the background music! Are you supposed to be able to get to the top of the level? I tried but couldn't figure it out.
Thanks a lot for playing my game! Yep, you can get to the top by activating all 3 hoops on each level but maybe I made the timer too unforgiving xD
