Understandable, also do I submit the game here once finished or on it’s own post?

You can submit the game here, or in your own topic with #brainiac so I know it’s for the game jam. I would, however, prefer the former.

everyone, the deadline has been reached, and you know what that means! the time frame for making your jam entry has officially ended! post your game here in the exact state it is, and i’ll put the top 3 in based on three categories; how finished the game is, how polished it is, and how good the character feels to control. get your entry in now, and thank you to everyone who participated in the brainiac game jam!

cubic adventure

completion: 4.5/5 (i’m surprised you were planning on adding more levels, this is already really solid!)

polish: 4/5 (there was a bug that i found to be a little bit frustrating where the crystals would automatically propel you if you were holding A, but absolutely no bugs were found otherwise.)

controls: 5/5 (if i could give it a higher rating, i would. this character has such a simple moveset, but they feel PHENOMENAL to control.)

The one where you press “menu” and you can change your skin. Once I select something, I have to restart the simulator to change my skin again. I also didn’t realize there where multiple menus.

this is your last call to get your game in by june 10th! any later and i will not accept the game. if cubic adventure remains the only game submitted, it will win by default.
