edit: Highscore from lootlocker seems not to work on itch.io I will fix it later.
edit20230505: You are the WHITE circle.

As per usual, it only includes the basic elements - means it lacks sound, retention layer, balance, etc..

The game takes inspiration from the Hunger Games, but with an Aztec styling. (or it was supposed to, hehe)

The idea behind this game was to create a challenging experience where players must switch positions around a circle with other competitors while avoiding environmental hazards and enemy attacks, all while trying to collect as many sponsor gifts as possible.

I'm currently in the process of learning how to create multiplayer games so I designed this game with multiplayer in mind. However, I also wanted to make the game playable in its current state, so I created an AI opponent named "IFstein."

Although the game is still a work in progress, I hope that players can still enjoy it and see the potential for more features in the future.

I like the mask graphic. It's actually pretty hard to tell which circle you're playing as though.

I dont really know which circle is mine or what am i supposed to do there. I read the tutorial that didnt help, i figured the A,S,D controls but that all :/

Took me a while to figure out how to behave to survive but in the end a strategy of lots of defense and attacking weakened enemies nearby at least got me a second place. Can definitely see this being more fun as a multiplayer game here you have to think about what strategies the other players will use. Definitely worth a play!

Graphics is amazing.But hard to understand how to play.

Graphics is cool, i like it. It is hard to react every 5 secs and press buttons, at least at first time. It would be great if you add thematic sounds and Aztec music. Great work)

Is very hard to follow what I am doing and what is happening on the game for me. I did like the aztec style and vibe of the game.

I enjoyed the look of the game, but kept loosing my own circle during swaps, also it's not really clear when the swap happens and where I will swap, so it felt very chaotic.

I've always had a knack for creating chaotic games. :)

Thank you for sharing the feedback

God sees I tried. I loved the art but after 5 or 7 minutes of chaotically pressing buttons on the keyboard and mouse I still don't understand what was happening on my screen. Description didn't help. Some explanation in the game would be great, now it's just beautiful animated circles for me.

Good visual but hard too undestand what's goind on.
After few sessions it's a little bit easier too play but still chaotic))

I really like the Aztec-type art style! It feels like some kind of mystical board game. I always love to see jam games that come up with an innovative new puzzle. I found it a bit tough to figure out the rules, but I think if you added some sort of in-game tutorial it would make it easier. Nice job!

I really did not get this game, I knew who I was only at the end when I faced off someone that could attack me while I couldn't attack (or didn't know how). A tutorial (even if you just write the controls here on ldjam) would definitely help with figuring out how to play the game and maybe a more clear way of telling who I really play. The visuals, as the others have already pointed out, are nice to the eyes but that helps only half :/

@momo-hunter thank you for the feedback. Tutorial is in the game but it is True that even when you read it does not ensure that you Will comprehend it. :(

I like the art

Wouter524 May 2023, 19:12

@snory could you give some additional instructions? I really want to play this game properly, because I can see that you put a lot of work in this one. I see a lot of people say that they don't really understand the game, and I agree that there is not really an indictor who is who. Also, how do we set up multiplayer for instance?

Love the art though! That is very well done! But maybe try to focus on playtesting with diffrent people who are close to you, so you can see where improvement needs to happen.

Edit: for now I will give some initial ratings. When you tag me with some extra instructions/tips, I will try again ;-)

the only thing that is trully lacking it's clear indicators of what is going to happen, i have a really hard time understanding what was going on, and even after the tutorial, when i knew what to do, it was still hard to understand what was going to happen. Even if i sounded a litle bit critic, i had fun and it is still a cool game, i wanted to give you my sencer opinion becuase you said you wanted to expand on the game

Ben Toosey5 May 2023, 07:56

The pace was unbelievably fast! I struggled to grasp what to do/who I was, even after reading the tutorial. But I like the idea and theme, even though I don't really see the link to 'Delivery'.

Dear all

Thank you for the feedback. :)

I like the art, and it serves your theme really well. For the gameplay, I understand attack and defense, but I couldn't really get the swap. I understand you have to use swap to get the gift, but the mechanic is a little unclear to me, maybe adding an indicator of where you will be swapped could help.
