How have you ported this to webgl i triedand i couldnt :(
I actually don’t know anymore… I built it fine the first time and now trying to make an update but it’s not working.. I will let you know as soon as I figure out the problem.
This is a really awesome take on the game and it looks amazing! I considered using this game for my day 6... and there's no way I could have come up with something this good xD
I like the additions you made like shooting the flying saucers too, gives it an extra mechanic that makes it really nice.
If you choose to continue the game (I saw the comment chain further down), it would be cool to reorganise the original "aim" of the level so it better fits your matchmaking theme -- like make it so you have to connect all the planets, or connect in pairs, rather than just find a way to get them in the circle (which is a great mechanic for the general puzzle game, but doesn't always fit the matchmaking theme 100% like when there's only one planet -- e.g. you could turn the static circle/black hole/galaxy thing into another type of planet, but make it look different and have the same static properties). But honestly that's just one little thought which you can ignore if you like!! Just wanted to put that thought across in case it's useful!
Honestly, great work!
Thanks for the feedback I’ve been working on a bunch of small things already just to polish and optimize etc but haven’t worked on any new mechanics yet, these are some nice ideas.
Hi! I have also made a version of this game and i would love it if you checked it <3
Really cool game! Feels super polished! I was a little concerned about the Martians, until they didn't show up xD!
yeah haha I ran out of time sadly! they are there on level 5 but deal no damage to you and again on lvl 10 lvl 15 got bugged I think in build Ill do a hotfix soon
Really? I beat the entire game, and only seen them during the tutorial, unless i'm blind and just missed them. :O
There was a bug causing them to never respawn once killed or left behind haha.
Will you try my take on this project too? its very different and has a unique twist
quote of the day: you won't ever understand the impact of little things like post processing in games until you disable the bloom in cosmic cords
I have also made a version of this game but its very different, maybe go check it? pls
sure why not
That's an insane work, i also really like the idea of having the "plot" of the cosmic love maker ahah.
I’m so glad you like it!
Would you be interested in continuing the game with me (and if we can get everyone to agree to it the rest of the devs, casually?) Can add everyone to my git repo and set you as admins on this submission etc!
I really like this game :]
Hi, dev #5 here, I think it would be cool to keep working on this game. I'm SimulatedGravity on GitHub.
Added you to the repository!
we need a better way to communicate than itch.io comment section. any ideas?
Hi i also made a vresion of your game pls go check it out
Yeah sure, this game has potential, i was thinking the same thing. MaestroMetty on Github
