The Fistula Cleaning Crew by Local Minimum
During LD29, I (Local Minimum) made Fistula Foragers.
Why? You ask... Because no one else made it. And since then, I don't think I've seen another fistula game during all the intermediate ludum dare. What's wrong with all of you?
:fireworks: It's time for the sequel! :fireworks:
There's an abundance of grime that has has accumulated in the fistula and it's up to you to make it clean again.
:rocket: :hole: :x: :poop:

I somehow missed the instructions up front, so I didn't realize I was supposed to minimize collisions. A little UI telling me how I'm doing might be helpful.
@zyrjello at some point I was thinking of having a %cleaned and progress towards the bottom, but I forgot to write it down on my todo. And avoiding bouncing is very optional unless one wants a really high score
But I've got to say, cleaning up all that gunk was an oddly satisfying experience :smile:

My patient might have got shocked to its core.
it was also pretty fun actually!
I had the same experience as @jakob-willforss, I sorta speedran it and missed a few fistulas. When I got to the bottom, I saw nothing was there, so I flew back up and grabbed everything I missed and went all the way above "ground". Went all the way back to the bottom and nothing there so not sure if something went weird with the triggers.
I like wonky controls like this - I prefer the challenge of trying to move quickly through levels set up this way (which is why I decided to just go full speed). I'm glad you opted for bounciness and not ship-damage because I would've been destroyed haha.
Will we be seeing a Fistula trilogy the next time a descending-theme comes up?
At the beginning I missed the sign with instructions, but you actually can fly back out again, and re-read it, so it was a nice surprise.
The music feels a bit repetitive, but the game is fun all together. Well done!
A live score display would be immensely helpful I think. In my first playthrough I didn't know what the objective was (also I didn't see the small continue button on the intro text and jumped straight in), and as soon as I saw the end I flew back up, searching for the end of the game and not finding anything. So stating that "reaching the bottom" is the goal would be quite important I guess.
And congratulations on producing a sequel game to a previous LD game - never managed to do this before :)
any way ,nice move controller ,bring me fun :smile:
Liked that you couldn't really crash and you instead were able to just readjust until you had it where you wanted it. Made it really friendly to play without the losing status. The cleaning was also a funny touch so thought that was nicely done :)
