GeoGather by Lianyi

made by Lianyi for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

The World Core is failing, its geometric elements scattered into chaos.
As the last "Form Collector", you must gather the fragments, repair the core, and restore balance.

## Your Mission: Power the Tri-Rings

Navigate the field and absorb the scattered geometric shapes to power up the three energy rings surrounding you. Fill all three rings to stabilize the core and save the world.

Dangers: The Chaos

Your path is fraught with peril:
Colliding with walls or the chaotic Hexagons will cause you to lose collected shapes.

I like playing this imagining I'm a fat lady.

Nice game! Very hard to get to 24 triangles. I didnt really understand the point of the yellow rectangles. But well done!

Wasn't quite sure what my goal was but after all of the enemies died I just kept collecting and eventually won. If the collectibles had a spawner, why not the enemies as well? Not quite sure where all of the work went with such a large team but it was fun as long as it lasted.

This was interesting, if a little short! I really like the minimap. Also, this isn't very important, but being able to adjust the volumes is always a nice extra bit of polish for a game jam.

I did find it a little annoying that the minimap would show collectible shapes that were outside the allowed area, but that's a very minor complaint.

I do feel like there's probably something that could be done to make the game a little more entertaining to play for longer periods - something that makes it so you aren't just moving in circles around the map (like maybe moving walls, or Hexagons that take multiple hits to destroy, or something else).

i finished the game and realized later i were able to shoot something (i never saw the enemies)..so you can solve the game without shooting :D Nice little game.

A tutorial would be nice, but i liked the style. Idea of collectables being used as shields is very interesting

good.enough

I'd be interested in a post mortem for this game. It seems like a compo game rather than something created by a team of seven people. I'm curious as to what problems you had to solve, and what constraints you were working with.

Nice game, interesting concept. It got quite a bit more challenging as the orbits filled up and smaller passages became inaccessible / I had to maneuver closer to the walls.
