Slip Stream by Profugo Barbatus
After Kerowyn Creek broke the internet in one night by going superviral, the streaming world came alive with lots of new upstarts. But only one of them knew Kerowyn Herself, and leveraged that connection to kickstart her career. Join Ebi Grill as she starts her debut Subathon event, with a rolly polly twist! Can you keep your butt on your seat as you satisfy the audiences demand for more? Can one simple movement system provide so much mechanical depth and challenge? Only one way to find out, play it now!

Well, what a lovely jam. Quite interesting to have a theme like Depth, really made us think outside the box.
Ultimately, what has more depth than a sequel? Nothing, that's what! Welcome back to the world of "Deep Into the Night", our entry for LD48 with the theme "Deeper and Deeper". This time with a new character, new perspective, and new mechanics!
Gonna be honest, the idea of a sequel came up casually in discussion, and we weren't vibing with any directly depth related themes, so we went with it, and looked for some mechanical depth instead. The chair idea came to me in a flash, we quickly prototyped it, and fell in love. At that point, we didn't even really care if the game was super on theme, we knew it would be bloody fun, and that's really what matters, right?

I like the frantic gameplay too, but I think it could do with a bit more depth. It's definitely challenging, but there could be something more engaging for the player to do than just moving from circle to circle. I might also make the movement a little less stop-and-start - it took forever to get anywhere!
Is a very cool concept for a game with this kind of character control, and I think is overall done pretty well. I really liked it a lot! :)
Really super solid entry! Keep up the good work!
As others stated the art is phenomenal!
Be it character design or environment, you succeeded in every visual area.
The movement is also a clever idea, but it was sometimes abit hard to navigate into the green areas.
With abit of polish tho, this could be a fun management game ^^
@pythorogus - We more or less gave up on the theme tbh lol, the idea was too fun to not see finished.
@sam-gorman - They're people, virtual youtubers specifically, its a thing for them to theme themselves after animals. Kerowyn is a Frog, Ebi is a shrimp.
@jona-scheidig she's pond streaming in her clothes, yea. Vtubers are kind of crazy like that. Glad you enjoyed it!
Cute and beautiful art, great design, but who knew Subathons are so damn difficult?!
I did went to the game later on and actually managed to beat my highscore.
