Summon Glow by Ron88

[raw]
made by Ron88 for Ludum Dare 55 (COMPO)

✨🌟✨🌟✨

Summon as many ✨glowy balls✨ as possible.

🌈🌈Can you fill the screen with glow? 🌈🌈

Each bounce gives you more money to ✨summon balls✨.

It is never-ending because ✨glowy✨ is pretty.

Sounds, art, code is made by me.

Future plans with the game: add more shop options, make big amounts of balls stable, figure out whether it is possible to have a web version that has glowing effect.

Surprisingly fun given how simple it is - really easy to get the hang of, and really satisfying to watch (even if I am literally deaf now from all the popping noises)! Having the achievements pop up every once in a while helps to give a sense of progression, and I think it could be turned into something really fun if there were maybe more upgrade paths.

One slight critique (although it isn't a problem with the actual game) is just the bouncing physics. I thought that the way everything bounced was kind of unnatural and janky - it felt more like they were being pushed off the ground randomly rather than being 'bouncy'.

Overall though, the game looks really nice!




P.S. OH MY GOD MY FRAMERATE!![Screenshot 2024-04-15 155355.png](///raw/99b/e5/z/61d1d.png)

Got to about 300 balls before this old laptop started having a little hiccup. Nice time getting as many balls on the screen as possible. Achievements were a great addition to the game.

played for a bit, it was a nice time waster.

it get frame drop in like 800.. But that glitchy kind of framerate is much similar to old-modern-city-ish neon light scene shots, and looks cool!

It was quick but fun. Quickly I thought there was going to be an issue with the CPU and the absurdity of the lag made me laugh.

The Gameplay could do with more options as I did not feel like I had to make any choice, simply increment the two available values and be amazed by Godot physic engine. Also the UI and and the sound are well polished it's part of what makes it work.

🌈 Thank you for playing my game! I am glad that everyone has figured out how much of my game their PC can handle :D I agree that the shop options are limited and I plan to add more after the jam ends. 🌈
