This could have some truly excellent implications, eventually.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD15 → Brinie

Interesting. I don't think I fully understand what everything does. I guess I have to give it a few more tries eventually.
Interesting idea, had some troubles understanding it at first :)
Runs sloooow here -- and what do I do? I'm so confused!
I managed to win by pressing the capture button when the Brinie was on the net, but I'm not sure what the other buttons do, the first seems to attract the boids and the second seems to put them to sleep.
Overall a confusing game.
Seems like a good start for a game. Funny intro and ending.
I have no idea what's going on. Is it completely broken? At least there are swarms!
"Do you have what it takes to save Brinie from extinction?"
No, I don't think so. I don't even have the slightest idea of how I'd go about doing it.
Which is a shame, because it does seem like a really interesting game.
Weird. And not really the good way :)
Basically you bait things somewhere else.
I like the concept here, a *lot*. The opening story is pretty fantastic, and I love anything that tastes of swarm/ecosystem AI/ALife. That said, the OS X version wouldn't run at all for me, and the web version lagged really, really bad. In theory this would have made it easier, since I'd have more time to plan moves and such, but it just became very frustrating waiting to see if Brinie would move in a useful direction.
I still like the idea though, and I'll try to come back and play it on another machine later on, see if it works better.
Well, it's original. I didn't have much influence over the Brinie, so ultimately it was frustrating waiting to be able to capture it.
Nice concept but a bit too random for me. One time I got lucky and Brinie walked straight into the net with only a little help, other times she was very stubborn.
I'm not really feeling the cavern theme in this one. The game runs a little too slow.
the game looks great, but it's too complicated for me :(
Whoa.. bizarre game and ecosystem. Quite imaginative. I must confess I tried to play without reading anything and was hopelessly lost. I then carefully read your text and still utterly failed to catch Brinie. It seems itdid the exact opposite of what I wanted. I placed the repellents and I swear Brinie moved towards them. The game also started to bog really badly after a couple minutes because of all the Grags spawning. I have a pretty beefy desktop too so I imagine people with less modern rigs may have some serious performance issues with this game.
Great little game idea here just seems like it needs a bit more polishing and perhaps a bit more accessibility. I really laughed at your description of the 4 elements that combine to form the beauty of a Brinie..!
