Adjust the loop to get all the shapes in this abstract puzzle game!

Make sure to gather the shapes in order (triangle -> square -> pentagon -> etc)! And make sure to return back to the starting triangle (in the same loop cycle!)

Splines n' Shapes is a game made in under 48 hours for Ludum Dare (Theme: "Stuck in a Loop"... Category: "Compo"). Had a lot of fun learning about B-Splines and trying to design a game around them! Wish I had more time to think about level design and fix/polish a few things (noticing that the audio is pretty repetitive among other things (my first time trying it lol)). But hey, I'm still super happy that I was able to whip up something playable in 48 hours!

Hope you all enjoy!

Super relaxing, and fun! Did you use Bezier spline, or some other?

Thanks! I used a spline that glues Bezier Curves together in a smooth way.


I basically followed the paper here: https://www.math.ucla.edu/~baker/149.1.02w/handouts/dd_splines.pdf

Splines are the best
