Perpetuum Portal
🌀 Built for Mini Gim #2 – Theme: "Portal"!
What happens when you let cats play with portals? 🐈🌀
Chaos. Cosmic Chaos.
And if you tell them to stop?
They do it even more.
Collect chaotic energy to buy more portals. Use those portals to cause more chaos. Then buy even more portals... 🔄
Welcome to Perpetuum Portal – the never-ending loop of cat-fueled cosmic mayhem!
> How to play?
If you’ve ever seen a portal, you’re qualified.
Click to scold the cat – which of course encourages her to start the Chaos Perpetuum.
Objects go in one portal and out the other. Depending on the portal, they might generate chaos, change values, or even smuggle in some unexpected guests...
Game Jam Warning: Made under time pressure. Expect weird balancing, placeholder art/audio, and experimental mechanics. But hey – I had a blast making it and hope you enjoy the ride. Can't wait to play your entries too!
Thanks to everyone who makes (audio and visual) assets freely available! I used some of them here!

really fun, but i think i broke it too hard lol, i overflowed my score a couple times then it crashed lol
Sorry about that! :D
fun, but easy to break
Yieah fair point, it isn't really tested and not build to last long :D
I like this a lot! I wish there was a multiplier display for clarity though. Maybe some random obstacles or events would have encouraged chaotic systems, because right now if you just want to win you can stack all portals in a line or grid and optimize the chaos out. But also, I think that if you make a game like this for a game jam and the primary complaint is game balance, then you did something right! This is a solid foundation for sure.
Fair point and thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!
To be honest, I just wrapped everything up due to time constraints without really thinking about game design or balancing. So yeah, there’s definitely still plenty left to do! :)
Broke the game by doing nothing except clicking 10 times.
Needs to be worked on.
I mean, it has a lot of bugs, but that definitely shouldn't happen. Thanks for playing though! ^^
i love this game
Yay, thanks! :)
Cool mechanics implementation!!! But the game breaks down easily if you leave the portals inside each other.
Yieah unfortunately that is totally possible. It is held together with spit and baling wire! :D Thanks for giving it a try anyway!
