hello man
Very good take, very clever. Good potential for speedrun, but even greater potential for a puzzle game where you would have a limited number of wells, and you would have to manage that ressource.
I was thinking about that! However, I didn't want limited wells to take away from the pure insanity of placing a lot of them.
Surprisingly fun for the simple concept - though I feel like a penalty for the amount of gravity wells would make the game more balanced since spamming them in a path it the fastest way to go from how I played.
It's fast, but risky. If the ball doesn't go the way you want then you end up losing quite a bit of time since restarting a level still counts against your time. It's also a pretty useless strat if you're going for least wells. I prefer letting people play the way they want, and I'm sure some more consistent strategies will come out in the future.
This game is simple yet very charming! I really like the gameplay overall. Using gravity wells is just so much fun especially when I'm spamming it HAHA. It also is very fitting for the theme! The aesthetics of it is also very simple but very well done! It fits the whole aesthetic and simple nature of the game! The sound effects are also well done with the music implemented! Overall, this game is very simple but provide the most charm in this jam. Great job!!
That's some high praise! This game is definitely the one I'm the most proud of out of all my game jam endeavors, so I'm really happy that you liked it! It was my first time making everything by myself, including the music, and I think that honestly lends to the simple fun charm of the game in my eyes.
That is the most fitting game in our theme that I can think of. Great game! Hope you will be one of the winners!
I placed only 333 wells but got first time with 54 secs, hooray!!
Nice game! I tried to be methodical in placing the wells but found it too fun to spam place them in a path to the flag and watch the ball go crazy and sometimes zip straight to the flag haha. It's incredibly inefficient for least wells placed scoreboard but my time was ok haha :D
I'm glad you had fun! Playing around with the physics is definitely the highlight of the game.
This was fun! It's really tempting to just put a massive string of black holes but it's so satisfying when you can complete a level with one well-placed one. Or when you beat a level with a last second well while it's in motion!
Glad you liked it! I figured the least wells category and restarts still counting as part of your time would be enough to discourage placing a large string of wells as one mess up could really hurt your time.
Yeah, the least wells category is a good idea.
