Why isn't the sun a sumo too thouhg?
A couple points for improvement:
- It felt like the camera/character roataion wasn't being scaled by deltaTime maybe? Sometimes it would spin super fast, sometimes slower, feeling like it was tied to framerate.
- The selection menu after clicking would be a better user experience if the mouse started in the center each time, rather than keeping the same position where you last released it, as you can then flick a known distance. That more intuitive the controls feel the more I can get invested in seeing how quick I can destroy stuff!
Also same for me, only S and D were working for movement.
Edit: I see the comment on the page about the web version now! I'll give the desktop version a try.
@speedphoenix the secret lore about this game is that it's in the teletubbies universe B-)
@gabriel-chan @shardykins the speed of the camera is a problem we have on the webgl build, we couldn't solve it in time, and probably shouldn't have put it online, the game plays way better in the build version (still lags a bit if you summon too many things, but far better than the browser version :p)
best score is 16690, what is the best possible one ?
I also find it funny that the developper is the only one cropped halfway on my menu

that screen was made in about 10 minutes at the end XD it completely breaks in 4k too :p
Also, the "adaption" of the theme is really creative!
Feels like the camera controls could have been a bit better, the camera would snap to the direction I'd swiped to after I released the button. Made doing multiple summons pretty difficult because they're based off your view, but also your view changes each time you summon.
Very fun, nice job!
the graphics are cool and the time limit really
works for the gameplay. This could def be developed
into something longer!
Great Work!
Thanks for dropping by the stream here's the VOD for you if you want to rewatch
