This was a really interesting and original game. The orb mechanic is easily the strongest part, and controlling it with the mouse wheel felt really creative once I got used to it. I also liked that there were different orbit modes and upgrades, which gave the concept more depth than I expected from a jam game.

My main feedback is that the game could use clearer UI and guidance. The controls take a bit to learn, and sometimes it was hard to understand what certain keys, doors, or interactables were connected to. Some clearer labels, visual links, or a stronger tutorial would help a lot. The combat also feels a little simple right now, but the core mechanic has a ton of potential. Nice work!

Developer

The controls are confusing at first, but the concept and the idea is interesting. With more polish and UX improvments it could be fun.

Thanks for the recomendattion

Wow, I really like the idea of the game! It definitely takes some time to "master the orb", but it was great that I could use it in so many different ways! The music was not my favorite, but it was fitting the game. :D

Developer

Thanks for your comment. Well I am not the music guy and I am only one person so but I will make it better for my next game.

Novel and cool mechanic! With a bit more polish and more features i can see this becoming a full fledged title, nice work!

Developer

It has a great core for a bigger game. The UI could be better and some polish would make it much better (for example, when you die in arena mode the game just immediately restarts which feels weird).

Nice work overall with a lot of potential

Developer

While I was making Arena mode I were in a hurry so I agree with you. And thanks for playing

Orb mechanic was insanely creative and interesting, after getting the hang of it eventually it was fun to use.

Developer

Thank you so much for your comment I will look at your game also

The orb mechanic is incredibly original and feels surprisingly intuitive after  some tries. I also really liked the different upgrade paths and orbit modes 

 definitely worth an expanded version of this.

Developer

I will develop after the jam thanks for the critisizm

I like the mechanic of controlling the orb and it controlls pretty intuitively - I think it couldn't have been done better. I was just a bit confused at times what to really do (e.g. the keys in the first room). Congrats!

Developer

Thanks for your contrubution I will look at your game also

game is fine, the unique mechanic is cool, though combat is too simple to really justify this mechanic. i think some decals showing what orbs/keys are connected to what boxes/doors could go a long way here, as it's kind of a guess as to what each button and interactable does. cool game!

Developer

Hey, the use of the orb here with the mouse wheel is unironically genius, this was amazing. Also the implementation of different modes, upgrades?! this is extremely impressive for such a short game jam. I could see you totally building upon this for a full fledged game, this premise absolutely rules! Keep workin!

If you want, check out my game lol.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad the mouse wheel orb mechanic worked for you. It started as a small experimental idea for the jam, but the upgrades and different orbit modes made it way more fun than I expected. I’d honestly love to expand this into a bigger version someday. Thanks again for the encouragement!
