Yeah, I agree that the gameplay loop gets repetitive. I was faced a lot of scope creep during this project and had originally planned for there to be way more elements in the game. All three of your suggestions would be good, and I also wish I could've added more challenges to the game such as group robberies. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!
I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the limitation, lol. I was going to make a game where some magical force saves you from spikes but then I realized the game didn't need anything deadly at all to fit the limitation. Thanks for playing!
Nice game! The mechanics worked well and I liked the retraction effect. It maybe would have been cool to see faster enemy drills as you progress, because I feel like the game got pretty easy once I was faster than them. I had a lot of fun upgrading and reaching the motherlode.
Hmmm... I fell out of the level a few times too, due to high speed. I put a slight speed cap on the player, but I'm guessing you might have gained a bunch of velocity due to gravity or the hook and then shot through a collider. I also get what you're saying about guiding the player more with the cane. There were a lot of physics techniques that I discovered while testing and I just didn't know how to tutorialize them. For example, it's better to be ahead of the sled pulling it with the cane if the land is concaving downwards because your character serves as a weight to pull the sled forward. The retracting mechanic is also very important if you want to pull the sled closer or gain more centripetal force as you swing. Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I agree with your first point. A lot of the areas requiring the cane are towards the end (mostly because that's when I was coming up with more ideas for its uses) and I probably should've distributed them more evenly. I also like your idea of stopping the sled and player during the cutscene. It would've been easy for me to pause the sled and player and store their velocities, but I just didn't think of it. During testing, I didn't account for the fact that some players would be going faster than I was. Thanks for the feedback!
It took a while to understand the game, but it was fun once I did. This game fits the theme perfectly and has nice visuals. On my third play the obstacles stopped generating, so I decided to get the train to surpass the speed of light. Pretty fun.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't want this game to have checkpoints, but I agree that I should've done something to make restarting less annoying or at least less frequent.
Thanks, I'm glad you had fun! It's sort of a sandbox, so there's multiple different ways you can stop the asteroid. I probably should've added some tips, but it's basically all trial and error.
Thanks for the feedback! I probably should've made it clearer, but you can see the asteroid's position by interacting with the telescope or checking the minimap (if it's within the radius of the minimap).
You might have to use multiple bombs/rockets to see a change. Check the telescope to see what's most effective. Also, the sooner you apply forces to the asteroid the better.
