Oh my god this is a very creative take on connection as lineage. The music is fire and the mechanic is cool and fun.

After playing a few times the start feels a bit too slow, and the final score is very dependent on the infinity powerups.

Overall excellently made!

This is a very creative take on the theme. The game is simple and intuitive. Nicely done!

Submitted

Excellent game, thanks to the leaderboard its playable for hours.

Wit the music one would think it's more of a rhythm game...

But just be careful not to end in a corner you can't get out of...

Submitted

Super polished. Very nice. Liked the gameplay as well. Great entry

Submitted

Nice was able to play on mobile. Pretty solid game.

Thx for playing!

I was really close to getting to another infinity but got stuck. :(



Really neat, it gets quite frantic as things speed up. The music is very intense. So is the use of the theme.

I don't think I have anything helpful to suggest!

Thank you for playing and for your words, there are always things to improve:
- Audio and sound options
- Remove the button to return to the menu when you record score (I have noticed that there are people who have played it who do not enter the score)
- Miscellaneous bugs

As I said, thank you for playing!

This was really clever! I liked the way the music followed the pace of the game and connection everything together was fun. The speed snuck up on me :D. Everything in the game was just so polished. I think I'm going to go play it again

Developer

Many thx for playing and the nice words! I made the game thinking about a session of less than a minute to know what it is about, or what you want to play, again thx

Really fun game, it is polished and the music is good too.

Thx for playing it!

it has great potential, just add more story and game over options, maybe more partners to choose. btw, there is a bug if you connect to yourself

Developer(+1)

Thx for the feeback, and for playing it!

Nicely done! This wasn't what I was expecting, but the simple mechanic is executed perfectly. I did have some issues where it wouldn't register my path correctly when I started dragging the line, however. Still, a very solid entry—well done!

Developer

Thx for the play and the feedback!

i love the  music, its soo good. and you art is awesome too.

Developer

Thx for playing it!

This is really well done. I like how the theme is incorporated and made into a arcade style game. I like the power up that auto collects everything and its vfx. I really like how you added leaderboards.

If possible can you share how you made leaderboards and is it difficult to do? I never done leaderboards.

Developer(+1)

Hi! Thx for playing and the nice words! For the leaderbord It's not complicated: the game sends the scores over the internet to a small server, i have VPS, ( the first year can cost you 1 euro/dollar ) which saves them in a simple text file. The game then receives and reads that file to show the top players on screen.

On the page of my game you have a link to github, there you can see the file leaderbord.php which is on the server and the main file Main.gd where I have all the code you will see how I connect to receive the file As I said, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Thanks for sharing how to make leaderboards. I will definitely check it out.

I really, really wanted to like this game. It's got a novel mechanic, it looks and sounds cool, the theme is dark but not too full of itself, it does everything right... except that there's a lot of powerups on the screen that I feel like I'm supposed to get? And the game just won't let me. Drawing a line more than 150% the left-to-right length of the screen in tiles makes you die for no clear reason. And it doesn't matter how fast I draw. It's length-based. Why would you put text on the screen at the start of the game that it's literally impossible to follow? 🤔

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! When you start the game there is an explanatory tutorial of each thing, the collectibles are hearts that give you points,  you don't have to take them all are for the final score , and the clock to be able to go slower and the infinty to collect a lot at once, the issue you say of losing by extending yourself too much is the right bar above, which goes down after you extend the line, You can also retract it to win a little although you only win 33% of the cost, anyways thank you a lot for playing it and giving me your feedback

That was a really artistic game, was fun to play well done!

Developer

Incredibly stylish and polished experience with a high 'one more run!'-feeling. One of my favourites so far!

Developer

Many thx for play and the nice words!

Wow! I LOVE the music and the music visual responses in the skulls, the people icons and the powerups. The game gets really fast and makes you stay focused especially if you are trying to collect powerups as well. I did occasionally get my line stuck on itself or get stuck in a corner. If you are going quickly you can make a line straight from person to person and maybe get some pickups on the way. Survival is more important than powerups unless you see the infinity which is just super strong, thought it can leave you in a bad spot when it ends. I got on the leaderboard 3rd place with around 6800 pts. Really good music and I like the leaderboard integration. Slick!

Developer

Thank you for playing it, I'm very happy for the people who have played it and who have put their score, again thank you for playing
