This game is really fun, it has some issues with balancing (my first 2 runs died almost instantly my 3rd made it to inf), but my only real issue is that I had trouble telling where the lines between sections of the same colour are

Thanks for playing! First time using Love on a jam, figured it fit the more procedural rendering I’m doing here. I usually use Godot and I think I would’ve been fighting the engine and doing custom drawing anyway if I hadn’t picked Love. It’s a great little framework, might try using it more often because of how simple it is

2. yeah, the early game is kind of too difficult but once you're off the ground, it's too easy to keep going. hard to get the momentum, hard to slow it down
Thanks for the feedback! Wasn't able to take full advantage of the full week, so I absolutely agree with your points here. Needs some balancing, some better UI design, and definitely some stuff to make it visually interesting. First time using LOVE for a jam also, coming from Godot, so a lot of lessons learned. Glad to see you're using it as well!
I agree, even with a couple upgrade wheels instead of just one. Right now you’re at the mercy of RNG until you get a good lineup of wheels, which might never happen.
If given time, I’d probably force the max number of wheels the player can have to 3, forcing you to delete one. Then letting you choose between 3 upgrade wheels with 2 slots each. Probably balance the weights of some of the slots too.
Yes, it plays much better now. Also sound effect + audio is new right?
you should consider adding a disclaimer though, because the late submission 24h period was not supposed to allow for any feature changes, only bug fixes.
Not trying to downplay your improvements, it is good to see you engaging and acting on the feedback provided, but also consider that the host of the jam may not approve this (not sure how relax/serious they usually are with this).

I had the same concerns, I talked about it in the discord a bit. I hope these comments being here give that indication since I don’t mean to be deceptive about it
edit: I do think it should be more upfront so I did go ahead and add a disclaimer to the game page itself. thanks for the input and for playing!
