A solid and interesting game. I'd love to see it expanded.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD21 → Dot Matrix

A solid and interesting game. I'd love to see it expanded.
Cool concept! I wanted more levels, cause I was really getting into it.
Btw, you still say "Working Title" on the about screen :p If you are still working on it keep at it, cause it looks promising!
Innovation: I've never seen anything like this before, which certainly gives you a good score in this category.
Theme: The theme relevance wasn't fully explained, but it was present.
Graphics: Simple, but they work. Things resemble what they were and work solidly.
Audio: Grating on the ears. This is what could use the most work of anything in this game. Solving puzzles to doot doot doot doot doot doot is a little tedious. :P
Fun: This game certainly has a great charm and personality to it. I felt happy whenever I solved a puzzle, because I thought I did well even though I was pressing buttons until I could win. There was no time-limit or pressure to solve the puzzle, meaning the game is open to all audiences and the player can solve at their own pace, which is good. The puzzles themselves were a little "Let's try this and see if it works," but they were puzzles at their core. I certinaly enjoyed it.
Overall: Fun, silly, and mentally stimulating. Just fix those sounds, make more levels with a smoother learning curve, and you've got a pretty solid game there.
I enjoyed this and got all the way through it but never felt like I totally understood the mechanics of the teleporters. Maybe there is some other way to represent them that would have made it obvious to me?
Cool, I'm a hero!
Somehow I randomly used the buttons and I still beat the game. ;) Perhaps some more conflicts/obstacles/gameplayelements? Also, it would be nice if the teleporter beams would be more visible.
Thank you for all your comments :) i enjoyed this project so will continue taking them all in.
@triplefox, i agree completly i think when i get enough time to expand i will definatly make it obvious what teleport streams change and where to.
@ratking, additional game play elements where in the design but didnt have time to implement, such as doors blocking entry, and had a cute alien dog that was going to run around too :(
very cute and good concept
Innovative and fun. I liked the visual theme too.
Good implementation and nice graphics.
Beep Beep! Beep! Damn that sound was annoying! Only scratch on glass you got there, despite this small jitter, the game was solid, pretty fun and visually appealing! Rock on mate!
