Really interesting concept with lots of potential. The controls felt a little janky personally, I feel the game would be better off with more responsive input instead of inertia based movement. But cool idea that with some more polish could definitely be more enjoyable
The minimalist style works well!
The gameplay was simple to pick up and to understand too (even though I think the "rules" image was a tad confusing to me at first, because I didn't think it was as simple as merging the three base shapes to create a white circle). I do wish the game was more chaotic from the get go, since I find the beginning a bit slow, with only three shapes appearing at once.
Well done!
Really cool mechanic and such a gorgeous minimalist art style! The controls feel a little stiff though, making them more responsive would make the game even better!
Another fun interpretation of the drawing loops around enemies mechanic. I liked the concept of combining the shapes and how the game got more chaotic as more shapes were added.
Nice twist on the same game mechanic as I used!
Clever idea and fun to play
Simple and fun game. It's similar to my own game, but I like the shape merging!
Cool concept. I like how increasing your score with white circles increases the danger of hitting one. And it's fun to merge a lot of shapes at once only for them to explode out.
the game is very simple and unique. the controls is a bit challenging to get used to.
Great concept executed well, would appreciate some sound design and some communication of control in-game.
Really simple and unique concept!
This is pretty fun. I love the idea of a lasso type "spaceship". Good job!
I like the progression! It took me a little to figure out that I had to surround the shapes instead of nudge them towards each other. But after that it was great! I think my favorite strategy is surrounding the entire map and watching the chaos unfold.
(Also, it's cool that someone else also used bevy for this game jam!)
Bit challenging from the start point
Nice mechanic! I thought I have to push the shape to combine together but it turn out I have to draw around them
very conceptual and challenging!!
omg wait I just realized "Shape Herd" a pun on "shepherd"
yeah. My wife came up with the name!
Nice work! Interesting use of line gizmos :)
Even though the controls were a bit hard to get used to, it was pretty fun to draw giant loops to merge as many shapes as possible.
