Are those inverted hulls for the outline? I see you are also using codeberg! I appreciate that, quite a lot.

And the game is cool but one problem I have is the mouse isn't getting locked, which makes it very inconvenient for FPS movement. Might be a problem related to my browser though

Unfortunately for some reason DisableCursor() bugs out on itch.io. And I didn't' have enough time to fix it.

For the first few times, I died without being able to do anything, but the game is fun once you get the hang of it.

I really like the game, sucking up those cubes is really fun , reminds me of slime rancher. The high sensitivity and the absence of DisableCursor() make this way harder to play, I'll probably build it myself and play later. Really cool anyways, great job!

Thank you! The code is really cursed and total mess, but at least it should be easy to compile, you only need cmake and some C++ compiler :P
I compiled and tested only on linux, so if you have any issues you can write it and I'll try to help.

So after messing with C++ and the zig build system (don't ask) for an hour, I finally got it to work, tweaked the settings, and banked 1090 score. This is the best side quest I've ever done in my life.

I'm glad you liked it! :D

i like shooting games and this one looks really nice. However, upon playing the sens felt too high so if you plan on working on it one of the next steps could be to let the player choose their sensitivity, besides that my cursor was getting out of the game window which was pretty annoying and was making me lose. The biggest problem i'd say is prolly the mouse not getting locked in the window rather than the sens. Other than that i really liked the game, the grabbing sound is really satisfying (if thats the word for it, i mean it felt good) as well

Yes, you are right. There is a bug with DisableCursor, that happens only on itch.io for some reason (it ignores mouse input and just goes up instantly). I tried to fix it but I didn't have time for this :/

I was confused for like 1 minute and then got the hang of it, after a while it becomes fun though. Also I can't prove it, but if the cursor was disabled pretty sure I'd be able to get 1000 score, still good job!

Thank you!
