      For touch devices, you could replace the grab mechanic with portal tilting, with tilt controlled by how close your finger is to the side of the screen. Alternatively, tilt could be a function of speed, with the portal righting itself when it's still.

    the game looks really cute and fun. although the only one thing I find confusing is that you can hold the comet before it enters the portal. imo it should only be able to be held when it comes out of a portal

    Dude, this looks so sick! I’d definitely buy this if it was released as a full game on console or Steam with more levels and maaaybe some customization options (ex: changing the colors of the portals, adding hats to the aliens, etc.). Maybe if it was a full game, we could even get a level editor or something similar to Mario Maker.

    Tweak the spacebar mechanic and make it a coop 2 player game! At least that's what I immediately thought when you said it's strange controlling both portals.

    Very well done! By the way! Im very interested on how you created the collisions and physics work that well in construct. I remember trying to use those and failing hard. Im very interested of how you made those for this game since it could possibly make me understand what I got it wrong in my project. Is there any way that you can share your knowledge on that? 🙏

    Make it so if you move one portal up it does the opposite to the other portal. Would make it slightly easier to control but add another element of strategy. Also make it so the blocks on top of the jail can be knocked through the portal as well.

  • @chaosmastermind
    @chaosmastermind 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's always amazing what one can create when put under pressure and forced to do something they wouldn't normally even think about.
    Some of your best projects and ideas are born in places you would never expect. Some unique art decisions can also arise from inability to draw or laziness, or even just compromising for time. Like the design of the aliens came from your indecision about their body shape. (it turned out great)
    A lot of really successful and great games were made almost by accident without the creator even thinking they are good.
    I've heard several times where someone just made a quick 24 hour game, or a prototype, or a one-off game without much commitment, and it often turns out 100x better than their actual passion project ideas.
    Another big thing is that those projects never get done, whereas this is a finished game.

    The grab mechanics completely devalue the portal mechanic, and the game became a race agains time til that bar tech 0.
    A way to fix this would be to make the exit portal change the momentum of the rock as it left it, by moving the portal. I just dont know how hard it would be to implement this on top of that physics engine.

    • @Vimlark
      @Vimlark  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Each block has a heath instance variable that I set in the editor. When the ball collides with it I subtract it by one and check if it's health is less than 0. If it is it runs a destroy function, if not it sets the animation frame to the current health. I don't have a lot but the check only runs when the block makes contact with the ball so I don't think it should cause much lag but I don't use that many blocks so it may be worth testing. Hope that helps.

    What? Yes! But why contest? Because it'll work as a tournament! But how!? Well, I'm glad you asked!
    Basically it would have around 3 rounds and the thing is that for evary round the devs would have to release some sort of update for the game.
    So you'd sort around 3 themes one for every update where every theme is like an extension of the previous theme. In the end the best game would be the one who gets the most votes on all 3 rounds. Or only at the end. Or something you think it's cool...
