Cool Idea and atmospheric world, but I got stuck in walls a number of times, and finally dropped it in day 4 or 5 when I stuck in table and 'R' didn't help.

Having a world on a disc is a really cool idea! I kinda expected the world to change while I wasn't looking, since you can't turn the camera around, but it seems like it stayed the same each time I went round. I think there is real potential with the idea you've come up with, just need to go a bit further with it!

Great job with the jam! :smile:

So...getting stuck in walls, buildings, objects... while trying to figure out ways to escape ! Then did a lot of typing, gat stuck in door, retyping, gat stuck in a table, etc ! The theme is for sure here !
Couldn't go further, but the world is really nice, weird, but good !

The concept is really nice. The automatic camera is surprising at first but it works very well because of how the world is organized.
The text was not always very readable because of the color but it's an easy fix.
Nice original entry !

Hey, one of DEVs here. Thx for fback. Let me say: the main idea was to change the world every loop, as a result of talking and finding secret paths (right now only car appears on 4th), up until the final run where you should make two uninterupted loops, slowly raising your speed to max, which allows you to make long tree jumps to the final hole above the pub. But, dead without a sleep by the deadline, we failed to build level in time.. Also, yeah, physics is crap, its on me, second unity proj.

Cool entry! I really like the voxel style art, and the disc world was a cool idea. I like the section after the bar especially haha. Good work!

The models look great. What were they made in?

I kept getting stuck in a lot of places too. I should have taken a screenshot, sorry. In some places I got stuck, there didn't even seem to be an colliders to get stuck on.

@johnsensei Thx, yeah it's innovative stucking mechanic. Real experimental. The program is MagicaVoxel!

As other people have said, collision is a buggy but the mood and the atmosphere are just awsome ! Big up to the moment when you jump in your bed and loop in your room, nice visual ideas !

Oh, daily life loop is also an actual physical loop, great idea !
Interesting camera system !

A bit rough around the edges, and the UI/UX could be improved quite a lot (hard to see with what you can interact as there seem to be different signs), but the mood and the fact that it feels like a small open world is already a cool achievement. Could be great if you added more meaningless interactions to make it feel more real.

I like the concept of a whole world on a record here. I wish there was more things to do in this world

Cool concept! I'm sad there were so many bugs, after a while i got stuck outside of the walls when restarting the game. I applaude your ambition tho! GG!

Wow that was super clever! The game could use a bit of extra polish, but the concept is excellent. Unfortunately, I fell off the rainbow road part towards the end, and couldn't get out. Pressed R to reset, but that just respawned me inside of a wall.

Got all the ice cream. Got stuck. Reset. Got more stuck. Thoroughly enjoyed it :D

Interesting idea, but kind of confusing to play.

A little confusing, but I liked the world you've built for it. Good job!

I find it confusing but I love the risk you take creating on open world.

Very good concept, there were some walking bugs (got stuck in walls) so I couldn't complete the game.
