Wobbly Dot - Shortest Path Is Not A Straight Line

[Karg 1]

Play Wobbly Dot!

Wobbly Dot is my latest browser game, a minimalist themed arcade where the goal is to navigate through dangerous mazes. It should be simple enough, except that your avatar is not moving in a straight line

There are 30 levels that will test your reflexes. Complete them within the time limit to collect stars, which you can use to unlock more avatar skins. 

Made with Cocos Creator (and Typescript).

Thank you for playing!

Is there a way to speed up tha ball? I never reach the goal in time, am I missing something?

thanks so much for playing!

which level(s) are you having trouble finishing in time?

the limits are my times finishing the levels, but maybe i've changed some levels and forgot to update the times. in any case, try to take very close turns, something like i did here: https://twitter.com/PironGames/status/1264033882346868736

There's something wrong, the ball doesn't move as fast on my browser as in that video. Does the game gets faster on later levels? I can't reach the goal in the 3rd level in less than 22 secs using your technique.

edit: It most be a Chrome problem, on Edge I can reach the goal in 7 secs in the same level.

that is very weird, as development was done exclusively on Chrome. can you please tell me a bit about the Chrome version and maybe what hardware are you using?

i've noticed that Cocos Creator has some issues with animation-type physics bodies, sometimes it acts out when the cpu load is high and it cannot keep 60 fps. have to do some more tests, though.

thanks for testing!

I'm on a HP Pavilion laptop, AMD Ryzen CPU, Radeon Vega GPU and 8mb RAM

If you add a FPS counter I could let you know how fast it is running.
