It took me a moment to figure out that I completed the game. It wasn't clear that I had completed a level, and it felt like the only interaction I had was in pressing the right key to start the level.
In talking with Uhfgood about it, it seemed the idea was that the game itself was evolving as you play, so each level, new interactivity and mechanics would get added. That's a really clever concept, and it's too bad this entry only hints at it.
I had a plan for this, but when I couldn't get the time to finish it, I decided to let you figure out how to interact with what I did have, this is why I don't have anything in the journal. You can interact with it and it is to do with the keyboard.
This game creates a game on its own. As the game.window closes frequently when the small box hits the large box, one really wants to solve the question: "how can I win this thing" before you have to start it over again. Nevertheless I was unable to find out what the hell is going on with it. Seemed rather undeterministic and such. Maybe this is an intelligence test that I didn't pass? I nevertheless spent more time with this game than with most of the others I have rated yet ;) Probably people who win this game, are the next step of evolution. So theme is present somehow :)
Well done for entering a game into LD, more than a lot of the people that start.
thanks!
It seems an interesting concept, a game that evolves itself as you go along. But I cant understand it from the game itself or the description page. Maybe you should make a post where you explain the game, and link that post to this game page? (I did that with the manual to my game)
maybe it only works on win64? on XP it said '. . .isnt a valid win32 application'
Uhfgood this game is genius. Seriously a great idea. Think you might expand on it?
goerp - hmm not really sure if it's because I used a binary copy or if since I downloaded a win64 installer the love exe is actually 64bit
If you can get love though you can play the linux/osx version since that's simply the .love file
Um I think I won...Im not entirely sure though...
