Obstacool
A downloadable Obstacool for Windows

Obstacool is a 2D physics puzzle roguelike where every level is solved before the launch.
Control a small orb, aim carefully, and reach the goal while avoiding spikes, lasers and other deadly obstacles. Between levels, visit the shop, buy cards, and place objects such as accelerators, magnets and trampolines to create your own path through each challenge.
Every run is about adapting with what you have. Spend your credits wisely, place your tools strategically, and launch the orb at the perfect moment.

- Physics-based orb launching.
- Strategic object placement before each attempt.
- Card-based shop between levels.
- Credits earned through efficient play.
- Different placeable objects with unique effects.
- Minimalist neon visual style.
- Fast retries and arcade-style level progression.

Drag and release to launch the orb.
Before launching, use your available cards to place objects in the level. These objects can help you reach new areas, avoid hazards, or redirect the orb toward the goal.
The faster you complete a level and the fewer launches you use, the more credits you earn for the next shop.

| Left Mouse Button | Aim, launch & interact (general) |
| Right Mouse Button | Cancel aim, & interact (sell cards) |
| Mouse Wheel | Zoom camera |
| Middle Mouse Button | Pan camera |
| R | Reset orb to the start position |
| T | Focus camera on the orb |
| Escape | Pause |

This is a playable prototype of Obstacool. The game is still in development, so feedback about controls, readability, difficulty and balance is very welcome. (There is limited variety in levels and cards; more variety for both will be added soon.)
If you try it, I would love to know:
- Did the core mechanics feel clear?
- Were the cards and shop easy to understand?
- Did any level feel unfair or confusing?
- Did the camera and controls feel comfortable?
To do this you can use the comments or the feedback button in the top right of the game main menu

It’s a pretty good game! I already gave you my feedback, but I’ll share it here too:
- The music is beautiful! It makes you want to keep trying to beat the levels.
- Difficulty balance: The levels are neither too easy nor impossible—it’s a really well-balanced difficulty!
That said, I’d like it if the game elements didn't go off-screen when changing the resolution, and I’d also love to see languages other than just English (though I get that—it is a prototype, after all!).
I hope the final version is ready soon; I’m excited about how great the game is! I actually recorded some footage of it, in case that’s useful to you.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you liked it, as you said, it's a prototype and will keep improving, but it's great that you enjoyed it so much. :)
Really fun game! The mix of physics, strategy, and roguelike progression feels fresh, and planning each level before launching the orb is a great mechanic😁
Hey, thanks so much!!! It's so cool that you liked it so much ;)
There are things that could be improved especially the interfaces but, it’s a really good job, i ended up playing it for a solid two hours, haha
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked it! I'll keep improving it, both visually and in terms of gameplay.
