The pixel art is gorgeous! And the swinging mechanic is so much fun!
Love the pixel art, the mechanism is super fun to play too! The play loop is very attention grabbing, I had the plan to play for 10 minutes but ended up spending 20. Might be my ancient computer being jank or my skills suck more than a black hole 😭I lowkey cannot beat this game tho
I struggled a lot but had fun! I like the idea of escaping a black hole and the grapple swinging is a nifty mechanic.
thank you :D
i spent a lot of time making sure the swinging mechanic work as intended and didn't make you do random sinusoidal wobbles
and Paul worked really hard on the physics setup
Really like the pixelated look of the game, plus the unique premise of escaping the event horizon of a black hole. It's a rather challenging game though.
definitely can be challenging based on what I saw with playtesters
we made the first rock of the game make you swing immediately into the black hole as a lesson in choosing the right objects to attach to
really cool physics mechanics with the grapple, enjoyed figuring out how to use that to climb up!
thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the grapple learning curve
