Bound by LittleRain

[raw]
made by LittleRain for LD 38 (COMPO)

First jam complete... Wow I forgot how bad it feels to stay up all night.... Sure makes it hard to work eh? I'm happy with my results though, wish I could of added a few more things like added the sounds I made. Oh well. I did make the song, but not during the jam, so I just need to point that out. Have fun!

I'm not able to upload pictures, I feel this is really going to hurt my ratings.... Its good trust me! Just try.

Off to bed, good night/day fellas.

Note: It wasn't designed for square screens, use full screen (wide or Ultra-wide) for proper UI.

For everyone having problems with memory, make sure to have the game be the only tab open in your browser. I found if I had a bunch of other tabs that's when I get the problem.

Thanks a lot!
I kind of thought it was that, but every time I try to use that it closes, and doesn't stop re-opening when I close it. I end up having to use Task manager to close the browser, the only browser that doesn't give me that problem gives me an error. Oh well :( I hope It doesn't effect my rating.

Wow the environment going to the music is way cool! Had some issues moving the character around at times. Good job overall!

It has pretty good art and music for compo, though I would prefer WASD movement over the left click... nice idea and game anyways! :grin:

Great environment, controls were sometimes hard to manage but other than that was pretty fun, I wasn't brave enough to try higher difficulty that normal :P

Thanks guys! and yeah the movement started screwing up when I added the planets with uneven ground, didn't have time to test until compo was done, oh well :(

The game is beautiful, but it takes ages to load and is incredibly hard!

I couldn't get the WebGL build to work because it takes too much memory (and I do have a pretty good PC), but I downloaded the Windows version and that worked. The download was really big through.

The graphics look really good and the music is nice as well. The movement and camera switching feels a bit weird at first, but once you get the hang of it I can see why you made it control this way.
My clicks didn't register sometimes and I'm not sure why, but I guess it's a combination of the move-to-click and the camera angles.

I like that you included difficulty levels. I haven't tried all of them, but it's great that they are there. Good work overall.

Ball as characer is really funny! Her face animates when stops suddenly hahaha.
Graphics are amazing along with good song, but sometimes it gets difficult to move character with mouse. By the way, music takes a bit delay to rhythm of green/red lights when time goes around 1 minute approximately. Anyway is a good game and harder to create than other due to play with rhythm of music.

Couldn't load web version because of too much memory required, you need to allocate more memory to the game for it to run. The windows build works fine though. I like the look of the 3D models and the levels of difficulty to choose from.

For everyone having trouble with web GL, If you have lots of tabs open it will give you the memory error. If you have the game as the one tab it should work fine.

And thanks for all the comments! Sorry about the controls, when I switched from a flat ground to the planets that's when the problem arose, and just didn't have enough time to fix.

Congrats on completing compo!

Apparently normal difficulty is too hard for me...

Good game! Pretty difficult and punishing, but in general a cool physics based puzzle.

Very hard and the controls were a bit ropey but it was a lot of fun.

Bit buggy controls, but overall it's quite a fun game. The sound fits the style very well.

Thanks you all for the good reviews! I'm really glad you liked it.


As for everyone talking about controls, yes I know it was a bummer, when I first designed the types of obstacles I was just using a flat ground and everything worked so well. By the time I actually built the obstacles I didn't even get to test the full game until after I uploaded.
