Amazing graphics and animation work - it's so much fun seeing the new blocks appear - well done! Took me a few minutes to figure out what to do, but a tutorial would clear this up. As others have mentioned, more control over the camera would help with the narrow section.

Developer

Thank you! We have implemented a sort of tutorial more traditional camera controls for our follow-up build 😀

the graphics and texture are nice but i suggest changing the background to similliar color as cover art \

but the cam view need more rotation and controls. And the music also easily bored after 2 minutes of gameplay

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The music is adaptive but we didn't have time to balance it, so we're looking to fix that soon!

Can you make a review on my game gvie some recommendations? 

Developer

Yes! As soon as I get back from this dentist appointment🦷🦷🦷

Awesome concept! I had fun playing the game! I loved that you went for this approach to fit the theme. I agree, it would've been cool if the camera could be rotated to view the map and its blocky glory.

Developer

Thank you! We are definitely gonna tweak the camera when we update it post-jam!

Really cool game and well polished. If you want a feedback, it is really hard to see the spore when it above water 

Developer

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback!

i realy enjoid playing this game. it was fun and fit the theme well. i only have a few minor problems.

1. for some reason if i tryed to play in web full screen the game froze and stoped working

2. my audio was glitched. it had some realy bad artifacts in it which completly ruined the vibe. not shure it it was a bug with webgl and my mashine or somthing es but i just wanted to let you know.

3. i sometimes had a hard time with the camera. i somtimes did not really  see where i was going. also i think its kinda weird that your wasd is locked diagonal with the camera view. i expected that it will move alog the grid if i only press "w" for example. once i figuerd that out it got alot easier to controll.

4.i liked the vibe of the music but sometimes felt like the same 5 sec. repeating.


please do not understand me wrong i realy enjoyed the game. there are only the few very smal problems that i found.  great work!

Developer

Thanks for all the feedback! We hope to fix all the issues soon after the jam ends!

Great concept, id love more obstacles and camara control, but the game concept its amazing, works great and its really fun. Keep it up!!!!!!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Its very fun trying to control the little spore and land him in the right spots. i kinda wish there was some camera control? even just a camera controlled by the camera keys that rotates around would be fine but its not too bad. the animations and movement felt fluent and responsive. maybe when you go behind something like a cliff, you can make it so you can see the spore through the mountain? but overall pretty good! keep it up! play my game if you feel like it!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks so much for the feedback! You can rotate the camera with X and C. We added some text instructions below the game window but didn't have time to put in an in-game pop up to explain that. Your idea to see an outline of the spore when it goes behind something is definitely something we'll try to implement in a future version. And we will definitely check out and rate your game as well! :)

So cool, i like your idea. Will be nice to control camera view as well.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

It was a nice game overall. I would like if the world expanded infinitely but I understand that it would have been hard in such a limited time frame. Graphics and audio were nice. It calmed my mind and the gameplay was relaxing.

Developer

Thank you!

Nice entry! The game feels very polished, but the game did dip in performance to a point that it was running very slowly when I was playing for about 10 minutes in the webGL build. I don't know if that is a problem on my end. I would've liked a hint that you could rotate the camera, but I found out eventually while reading the description. Great game overall!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

Really polished and really fun.  I love the chunk loading animations and the isometric gameplay.  I did have some issues seeing where the bubble was, especially when over the water.  It kind of blended in, but honestly a really good game!  Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we'll try and update it after the jam ends!
