Simple and fun game , i will play it agin and try to improve my score

Really enjoyed this one! The core loop mechanic is intuitive but deep, and the minimalist visuals + chill music make it super relaxing to play. The ability system adds a nice layer of strategy, and I loved chasing higher leaderboard scores. I did run into a few moments where the loop detection felt a bit off, but nothing game-breaking. Would love to see a post-jam polish version if you ever revisit it — there's a lot of potential here. Great job!

A simple yet very well executed and fun game! I love that you have the ability system which makes the game having more variations and strategies. Very well done!

Cool chill game! I thought I could make some loops without touching other shapes but it uses thicker lines, or shapecasts(?) to check lol. Adding the leaderboard was a good idea, I landed at #10 so I might jump back in to see if I can do better :P Thank you for your game!

Thanks you so much for playing, and especially for the footage.  At the start I was a bit worried you would miss a lot, but it was very satisfying to slowly see you figure out essentially all of the game. I think the only thing you missed is that you can use right click to deselect. From the footage I could also spot a few minor visual bugs. Super helpful!

The logic for checking if a shape is inside is a bit flawed, since it really checks if it the shape touches the loop (and theres just straight bugs).

This is a very relaxing game! : ) I do get a bit mad when i cant do a proper connection loop but still fun! Awesome job!

Fun game, simple and minimalist style without being boring!

I liked the inclusion of special powers to make more moves possible and the leaderboard.

I can't really think of recommendations for games like this, it already seems complete.

Chill soundtrack, good entry!

Very simple but quite fun! Only had two complaints.Although you can cancel the line the loop makes with m2 flawlessly, canceling the abilities (such as push and pull) doesn't make the UI effect go away

Additionally the music loop ends somewhat abruptly and stays quiet for a very long time before the music starts again

Developer

Thanks for playing! Only had three days and was really pressed for time so unfortunately quite a few bugs snuck in (I implemented the push and pull effect at 14:30on Sunday, and the SFX and music just before that at 13:00), glad you like it though!

I really enjoy the gameplay, it’s simple yet addictive, and the minimalist visual style complements it beautifully. That said, I did notice some occasional issues with scoring logic. For example, sometimes points outside the loop with different colors cause a penalty, or points inside the loop with matching colors don’t get counted as a bonus when I feel they should. Despite that, I had a great time playing and truly love your game!

Developer

Yeah the code I've written for the scoring logic is fragile, to put it mildly. Thanks for the feedback!

The creativity is amazing in this, and the tutorial section is excellent as well.

I especially love the little addition of the public high scores. I do wonder how far people can get because it gets pretty tricky pretty fast.

Very addicting game! The audio is enjoyable but unfortunately the music cut out for me instead of looping. The simple art style compliments the gameplay well. This game is also somewhat reminiscent of the board game Dungeon Drop (which is great because that game is really fun). With some more perks/abilities/mechanics this game could really be something special!

Developer

Yeah I did an oopsie with the music, but thats life! Thanks for the feedback!
