PyWeek - T U B E T E A M - feedback

The controls are too complicated, I couldn't find a way to rotate the tubes.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I keep losing, it's hard to make it fit. Even if I pass the level I don't see my score go up. I really like the visuals!

Why so I have to download it from some where else?

Also why do you need so much space?

I mean for a simple cylindrical shape it uses 48MB?
And does it have to be HDR?

I was unable to find the readme and also trying to figure out the controls is why this is getting a score lower than expected.

Other than that this game feels straightforward. Get the objects through the hole while the wall approaches at a faster speed.

Good music choice.

This seemed like a cool game concept, but I'm not sure I could get it to work properly. I found that my controls would only rotate the first circle, and didn't let me rotate any circles after that, so I'd always die on the second "level". Also, the metallic rendering didn't work properly on my system, or at least the shading of the cylinders was non-existant (didn't look like the screen shots) so it was very hard to gauge depth etc. Running on macos13, installed packages as per requirements.txt.

I ran into a tiny bit of lighting and rendering issues on later levels (MacOS, arm chip). The game is not really fun, because you have to adjust the tubes very precisely. (+-1 degree change, or else you lose). This game relies on just 1 concept - tube falls in the circle hole, however I did like the 3d scene and the main menu.

Nice, physics, 3d and all that stuff. Really loks like a pro game

Amazing game with amazing graphics.

Thanks for sharing your game design doc. That's very interesting to see what you had in mind. Some other patterns would have been cool to see. Nice music too. Thanks for making a Linux executable since I don't have complexpbr installed.

This looked really cool, but some of the reflective elements and the overall dark feel of the game made it feel less playable.
