Spherify Effect - SciFi Platformer

Spherify Effect

Hey Everyone!

This is “another platformer”. But in sphere. Reality show for robots.
You need to stop the sphere and stay alive.

I’ve been working on a game for about 2 weeks (idea, first sketches, etc.), so it’s currently WIP.

So, what have I’ve done:

• First level - big sp… BIG sphe… BIG sphere with 7 platforms. They are all rotating when you are not on them.
• Packages = Coins - collect them and you can open terminal room and stop the sphere.
• Terminals for calling elevator (UP and DOWN) - the only way to ascend or descend to the platform.
• Lasers - moving lighting (or lasers, nvm). Step on and you die.

I’ll add some information about this game as soon as possible. Yes, with a storyline().

Would be glad to hear some feedback from you

Some art design suggestions, there’s a bit too much visual noise, and not enough visual seperation between gameplay areas and eye candy. The hex mesh balls are are particularly distracting, but if you made the sky match their color more, I think you could get away with it (either darken the sky or lighten the material. Also I feel like the platform floors could be a bit more solid and stand out, especially if there’s going to be lazers on them and people need to time jumps at the edges.

Thanks for message. Yeah, I think you are right. There were a lot of different noise on the background and it was annoying.
Now I changed color scheme and contrast. Also, I slowed down two spheres on the background. I think now it looks much better.

I’m still thinking about UI and don’t know how to do right. Maybe just follow advice - “UI in a similar style to that [E] to Go Down text, with the arrows. Have the meters follow you in the background of the level.” or something like that?

I love this! I totally dig how there’s so much going on.

That’s a great game. The only issue is all similar structures, visually it makes your game confusing.

Following this one on Twitter, I really like the visuals! Have to agree though that there’s still a bit too much going on, though it’s a bit better now after your update.

Oh, and what happened to your other game with the flying sphere or something?

And that’s what I need. You need to be “lost” in this place.

Development "CODeX’ is temporarily paused.

Wow, that looks really awesome! I think you should remove/reduce the screen fringe though; it makes it unnecessarily hard to focus on the game.
