RANKED 8TH IN THE MINI JAM 101

Tap the screen and hold to change the objects' orientation. The ball moves in a fixed direction. It only changes direction when it hits the tiles based on their orientation. There are 50 levels as of now. Most of these levels are difficult, but there are easier levels in between to calm you!!

How to tap?

  • Mouse Click
  • Trackpad Click
  • Touch Input

After you click/touch, make sure to hold that click/touch. The moment you release, all objects go back to their default orientations! So click and release depending on the situation!

Press "Escape" to come back to the home screen whenever you want! If the ball slows down if you fail, you can always press 'R' to quickly restart instead of waiting!

This game was made as part of  Mini-Jam 101.

The theme was "Limit" and the limitation was "Control the Environment."

  • This game allows you to control all objects on the screen. That's how the limitation was applied.
  • Also, you only have one button to control all the objects at once on the screen. That's how the theme was used. The game is more fun this way!

I had this game idea for two years. I was testing a prototype and abandoned it. After seeing the limitation given by Mini-Jam 101, I've decided to build a new game based on that old idea.

Thank you! Till which level did you play??

I was stuck on 19. I skipped it and played for a few more levels and then realized I knew enough and rated your game. 4.75/5!

Thank you!!

Thanks!!

Very cool game! I think it would fit really well as a mobile game too! Keep it up!

Thank you! I'm planning to provide an apk file once I set the resolutions after the JAm.

Simple but good graphics

Thank you!

I love the idea! It's really fun and simple, and would probably make a cool mobile game

However, I feel like the difficulty curve is a little jagged, and from level 7 or so, it suddenly goes back to "easy" while the other first levels show an interesting progression.

I also thought it would be cool if you had like, for example, an outline/a half showing preview of the rotation it would show when you press.

Great game!

Thanks for playing!! Yeah from level 7 it gets a little simpler because they train you to get the timing right. I think there are easy puzzles till level 16 or something. It was also partly because the later levels get difficult and frustrating πŸ˜…. I'll see if I can change the order. 

Ah! At first, I kind of tried to show the rotations, but it looked bad with all the extra outlined squares. I removed those as no matter what, all the shapes will rotate. So I thought I need not mention that explicitly. 

But hopefully, I'll think of some new way to indicate it.

Glad you like it!! Thank you for the feedback!
